EU Tenders Scraper (TED)

Search official EU public procurement notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — the EU's central platform for publishing public procurement tenders — using the official TED Search API v3. Filter by CPV code, buyer country, publication date, or a raw TED expert query, and get clean, structured tender data.

Features

• Official API, no scraping — queries api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search directly; no authentication required
• Flexible filtering — combine CPV codes, buyer countries, and a publication-date lower bound, or write your own raw expert query
• EU-wide coverage — searches notices from all EU member states plus EEA/associated countries publishing to TED
• Structured output — title, buyer, country, CPV codes, estimated value (EUR), submission deadline, and direct notice URL

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
query	string	No	—	Raw TED expert search query (ANDed with the filters below if both are set)
cpv_codes	array	No	[]	CPV codes to filter by (OR-ed together)
countries	array	No	[]	ISO alpha-3 buyer country codes to filter by (OR-ed together)
published_since	string	No	—	YYYY-MM-DD lower bound on publication date
max_results	integer	No	50	Maximum tenders to return (1-200)

If no filters are provided at all, the Actor defaults to notices published in the last 30 days to avoid an unbounded query.

  "cpv_codes": ["45000000"],

Field	Description
title	Notice title (native language, falls back to an English-generated title)
buyer	Contracting authority / buyer name
country	ISO alpha-3 country code of the buyer, or null if not published
cpv	Common Procurement Vocabulary codes (deduplicated)
value_eur	Estimated procurement value only when published in EUR; null otherwise

Pricing

Event	Cost
Actor start	$0.02
Tender Found	$0.01

Typical run cost: 50 tenders ≈ $0.02 + 50 × $0.01 = $0.52.

Limitations

• EUR-only value conversion — value_eur is only populated when TED itself reports the estimated value in EUR. Notices published in other currencies (e.g. non-eurozone member states) return value_eur: null rather than performing currency conversion.
• max_results is capped at 200 per run, and the TED API returns at most 250 notices per page — this Actor issues a single page-1 request per run, so it does not paginate beyond that.
• Field availability varies by notice type and country — very old or minimal notices may have missing buyer, deadline, or cpv data (returned as "Unknown buyer" or null).
• This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the EU Publications Office; it consumes TED's public, unauthenticated Search API as documented at docs.ted.europa.eu.

Use Cases

• Track new construction/IT/consulting tenders in target countries
• Monitor competitor bids and awarded contract values by CPV sector
• Build lead-generation pipelines for public-sector sales teams
• Feed procurement notices into BI dashboards or CRM systems
