Nothing particularly "public" here and no "gazette", which would be "le bulletin des appels d'offres"

Besides, the "detailed tender notices" may be "soigneusement étudiés" (carefully reviewed), in a manner not quite consistent with the contents of a "Public Procurement Gazette/Journal" (with only lists the tenders)

: "public procurement" is for "marchés publics", involving governmental institutions only. And bulletin is not necessarily a "gazette", especially when there are several as in the ST

: I would personally opt for capital letters ... / I agree about the notion of generic but in this particular context I still think capital letters should be used.

It depends on whether the term is used as a generic term or not. Please see my discussion entry.

: "les bulletins" with an "s" indicates this is not the "journal" or gazette (singular) you propose.

public procurement gazette
Although this is also an official term, I am not sure this corresponds to your question. I would need a bit more context. Hence my "low" confidence level.

Discussion
"Systematic analyses of the data provided by the European public procurement journal Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) reveal serious quality issues with regard to the information published in TED. For instance, in its 2010 working document ‘Public Procurement Indicators 2008’ the Commission states that ‘data on the value of contracts is only provided in about 80% of published Contract Award Notices’."
