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)

Comment: "Thank you to everyone for all the useful input. This seems to be the safest option as the tender is between two private parties with no public entities involved."

: "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

public procurement journal
This is the journal where contract notices have to be published. It is usully a website. One example is TED, which is the website for the publication of tendering procedures to be launched within the European Union with a contractual value of above 130,000 EUR.

: 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.

: "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’."
