TED EU Tenders Scraper: Public Procurement Notices by CPV, Country & Keyword

Search EU public procurement notices by country, CPV code, keyword, stage and date - and get clean, flat JSON. The Actor uses the official TED API (Tenders Electronic Daily, Publications Office of the European Union): no scraping, no proxies, no API key. Each result is one notice with title, buyer, CPV codes, estimated or awarded value, submission deadline, procedure type, winners (organisations only) and direct links to TED. Built for bid managers, consultants, B2B sales teams, market analysts and AI agents.

What you can do

• Find open tenders: noticeStage = competition + onlyOpenForBids = true returns calls for tender you can still bid on.
• Track awards and competitors: noticeStage = result shows who won what, for which value.
• Monitor a market: schedule a daily run for your CPV codes and countries and send new notices to Slack, email or your CRM.
• Feed AI agents / RAG: structured notices with stable field names and links to the XML/PDF.

Use the dataset views Tenders, Awards and Errors in Apify Console. API-level problems (invalid input, TED outage) end the run with a clear message or a free error record.

How much does it cost?

Pay per event: 0.004 USD per notice (4.00 USD per 1,000) plus a start fee of 0.00005 USD per run. error records are free. Platform usage is included in the event price.

Scenario	Notices	Approx. cost
Test run (maxItems 5)	5	0.02 USD
Daily alert; if your filters return 20 new notices a day	20 per run	0.08 USD/day, about 2.40 USD/month
Market snapshot: all IT-services (CPV 72) notices for 3 countries, 500 notices	500	2.00 USD
Research export	5,000	20.00 USD
One run with default settings (maxItems 50)	max 50	max 0.20 USD

Cost control: maxItems is a hard cap on billed notices per run; the Actor also stops at your run's maximum cost per run setting. Narrow with countries, cpvCodes, publishedFrom and onlyOpenForBids to pay only for relevant notices.

Why this Actor (vs. alternatives)

Other Store Actors also read TED (for example foxlabs/ted-tenders, memo23/ted-tenders-scraper, dltik/ted-europa-scraper). This one focuses on: official TED API only (no scraping or proxies), a notice-stage filter (open calls vs awards vs planning), an onlyOpenForBids switch, preferred-language texts, and winner names limited to organisations (names that may belong to private individuals are withheld). Check the Store pages for each Actor's current price and fields. (Based on public Store listings, 2026-10-02.)

Use it from n8n, Make, code and AI agents

• n8n / Make: schedule "Run Actor" daily with publishedFrom set to yesterday (expression), then send each item to Slack / Google Sheets / your CRM.
• API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/ai_solution~ted-eu-tenders-search/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"countries":["LT"],"cpvCodes":["72"],"noticeStage":"competition","onlyOpenForBids":true,"maxItems":20}'

• MCP / AI agents: available via the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com, tool ai_solution/ted-eu-tenders-search). Fully described input schema and stable output fields let an agent answer "which IT tenders are open in the Baltics?" in one call.

Scheduling and webhooks

1. In Apify Console open Schedules, create e.g. 0 7 * * * (daily 07:00 UTC) and add this Actor with your filters (countries, cpvCodes, noticeStage, onlyOpenForBids).
2. Add a webhook for ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED (Actor Integrations tab) to your endpoint or an n8n/Make Webhook node; the payload contains resource.defaultDatasetId.
3. Read GET https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<defaultDatasetId>/items?token=... and forward new noticeIds to Slack, email or your CRM. A schedule uses a fixed input, so for "since yesterday" set publishedFrom dynamically (n8n expression or API) - otherwise the default window is the last 30 days.

Data source, license and attribution

Data comes from TED, the official EU procurement journal, through its public search API.

Limitations and privacy

• Values are as published by buyers (estimatedValue is the sum of lot estimates when all lots use one currency, otherwise null). Many notices omit values.
• Notices are returned one per notice, not one per lot; lot titles are listed in lotTitles.
• Winners: only names that look like organisations (company-form markers such as UAB, SIA, GmbH, S.A., Sp. z o.o.) are returned. Names that may belong to private individuals (sole traders) are withheld and only counted in winnersWithheld. Contact persons, emails and phone numbers are never requested.
• National procurement portals publish more tenders than TED; TED covers notices above EU thresholds and those published voluntarily.
• Data freshness is that of TED (new notices appear daily, with a short publication delay).
