Extract data from award notices

An award notice is the document that closes a tender. When a procuring organization finishes evaluating the bids for a solicitation, it publishes a notice naming the winning vendor, the contract value, and the date the award takes effect, and it references the procurement it resolves. Suppliers who bid read it to learn the outcome, the winner reads it as the trigger to mobilize, and a procurement analyst files it against the tender record. In public procurement the notice also serves a transparency purpose, recording how many vendors were invited and how many bids came back, so the competition behind the award is visible. Figures tie the award to the money. On notice TENDER-2026-BRE-0087, the City of Bremen Procurement Office awards a managed network services contract to Nordlicht IT Solutions GmbH at a total value of 2,400,000 EUR, with 456,000 EUR of value-added tax at the German 19% rate, for a term running 2026-09-01 to 2029-08-31. Four bids were received from the six vendors invited, and the award date of 2026-06-24 starts any standstill period before the contract is signed. Payment terms are restated as Net 30 alongside the delivery terms, and where several lots were awarded the notice lists each awarded vendor with its own value and dates so a multi-lot award reads cleanly. Talonic reads the award notice and returns the procurement reference, the buyer, the awarded vendor, the total value and tax, and the award and performance dates as fields, keeping the awarded vendors and the line items as tables. Point it at a notice issued 2026-06-24 by the City of Bremen Procurement Office to Nordlicht IT Solutions GmbH for 2,400,000 EUR, and the winning vendor, the value, and the term load into a contract register so the award ties to the tender it came from without re-keying. Captured as written, the outcome carries no judgment on whether the award was correct or the process fair.

What gets extracted from award notices

How extraction works for award notices

Award notices arrive as procurement-portal PDFs, official-journal publications, and buyer letters, and the winning-vendor block and the competition figures sit in different places on each authority's template. Talonic maps the notice to the procurement schema in the Field Registry, modeled on the OASIS UBL order and response element trees, so the procurement identifier, the buyer, the awarded vendor, the total amount, and the tax each resolve to their own field. Total amount and tax are typed as numbers in their ISO 4217 currency and reconciled, so a 2,400,000 EUR value with 456,000 EUR of VAT is checked against the 19% rate rather than trusted. An awarded-vendors table carries each winner with its identifier, its contract value, and its start and end dates, which matters when a solicitation is split into lots, while a line-items table holds the priced scope where the notice itemizes it. Vendors invited and bids received are read as their own fields so the competition is legible. Every value returns with a confidence score and a source-region pointer under DIN SPEC 91491, so a procurement analyst can verify the awarded value against the published notice. Returned as written, the award comes with no assessment of the evaluation.
