Regarding the disagreement above:
RoserBosch - award as a veryb: you can award the contract or have an awarding (gerund) of the contract
If you use award as a noun, you can have a contract award, or an award FOR something (not a contract!) but not an award OF a contract - it is not an expression that is used in English. Unfortunately, the asker has chosen it, and he is the one who will look incompetent.
