The tender notice page (Tender Detail)
A tender notice in Tender Navigator, opened from the Pre-search tool as a side panel or on its own page, shows the notice's title, buyer country, language, publication date, deadline, estimated budget when stated, source system, external ID, classification codes, an AI summary and the description. Signed-in users can start a filter from it with Save as Filter; search results are not evaluated. Visitors see the full description, source and AI evaluation blocks locked behind a free account.

Two ways to open a notice
- Side panel. In the dashboard Pre-search tool, Open on a result shows the notice beside the results. The panel's Open full page button opens the notice page in a new tab.
- Notice page. Every notice has its own address, reached from the public search page, from the side panel, or from a link someone sent you. The page has a breadcrumb back to the search.
What a notice shows
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Title | The notice title as published. |
| Buyer country | The country of the contracting authority. |
| Language | The language the notice is published in. |
| Publication date | When the notice was published at the source. |
| Deadline | The submission deadline as published. |
| Estimated budget | Shown only when the notice states a budget; absent otherwise. |
| Source | The procurement system the notice came from, for example TED or SAM.gov. |
| External ID | The notice's identifier on that source system. |
| CPV / NAICS / UNSPSC | The classification codes the notice carries, as chips. |
| AI summary | A few sentences written by AI about the notice. See The AI summary. |
| Description | The full text of the opportunity as ingested. |
Dates and codes are shown as the source published them. Tender Navigator cleans stray punctuation from descriptions but does not rewrite them. When a field is not in the notice, it is omitted or shown as a dash; see Why some tender fields are missing.
Visitors versus signed-in users
Everyone can open a notice page. A visitor sees the header fields, the AI summary and the description as ingested; below them, the full opportunity description, the source link and the AI evaluation are shown as blurred blocks with a Create free account call to action. The AI evaluation block says what really happens: when one of your filters picks up a tender like this, its AI evaluation appears on your Results page. A signed-in user gets the notice actions described below instead.
Finding the original notice
For a notice opened from the Pre-search tool, Tender Navigator shows the Source system and the External ID, which together identify the notice on the source platform. A direct Open original tender link is available on evaluated results, in the Tender Info panel and on list rows. See Tender data and the original source.
Actions
For a signed-in user, the side panel and the notice page show the same block of actions:
- One sentence: "Search results are not evaluated. Evaluation runs every day on active filters - start one from this tender with Save as Filter."
- How evaluation works, a link that opens How AI tender evaluation works in a new tab, so the search you came from stays open.
- Save as Filter, the one main button. It creates a paused filter seeded from this notice: its title as the keyword, its buyer country and its codes. See Turning a search into a filter.
There is no Evaluate button: on-demand evaluation of a single notice is not available yet. Close (panel) returns to the results, which are still where you left them.
Loading
A first open generates the AI summary, so it can take several seconds; a repeat open of the same notice is fast. If the notice cannot be loaded, the panel says "Tender Navigator could not load this notice. The service may be busy." and offers a retry. "This tender notice is no longer available" means the notice is gone from the database.
