1. Remove stage=tender filter - Get ALL notice types
- Now captures planning, tender, award, contract notices
- Previously missed ~50% of available data
- Provides full procurement lifecycle visibility
2. Reduce scrape interval from 4 hours to 1 hour
- Updated cron for contracts-finder, find-tender, pcs-scotland, sell2wales
- Captures fast-closing tenders (< 4 hour window)
- Max 1 hour lag vs 4 hour lag
3. Add sophisticated filtering
- Must have deadline specified
- Deadline must be >= 24 hours in future
- Skip expired tenders
- Reduces 90-day window to 14 days (first run) / 1 hour (incremental)

- Zero 404 errors (cleanup + fresh data)
- Better user experience (only actionable opportunities)
