Lots
All purchases are organised in into lots. Lots are effectively supply packages that enable supply to e.g., different locations, a subset of goods over time, etc. Even if only one delivery is stipulated, there is still a single lot. When querying, this can be confusing because it can look like data with the same notice number is duplicated in the results table, when actually it is showing rows of lots rather than the whole order in one row.
To clarify, you might want to add a column for lot number in your query.
Duplicate data in results
Apart from the appearance of duplication caused by lots, there are other reasons why there might be a duplication in the results. Notices could be published more than one language, so unless you filter for language in the query, the same notice might be listed several times in different languages.
