What to check in the tender documents

TED gives 12 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC+01:00 in the tender-receipt fields but separately gives 2 November at 16:00 UTC+01:00 in generic deadline fields; the available notice information gives 11 November 2026 at 23:00 UTC. The active submission cutoff cannot be resolved from these retained fields, so the visitor deadline is unavailable. The published total is an estimate, not an award amount.
