EU Tenders (TED) Feed

Find European public contracts in plain English. TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) publishes thousands of procurement notices a week from across the EU and EEA, in 24 languages. This Actor turns them into clean, English-first records you can filter, schedule and drop into a spreadsheet or CRM: title, buyer, country, CPV category, estimated value, deadline and links.

Who it's for

• Companies selling to the public sector in Europe: IT, construction, engineering, medical, consulting, facilities and more.
• Bid and tender consultants monitoring several countries or sectors for clients.
• Tender-alert and market-intelligence products that need a reliable, structured daily feed.
• Analysts studying public demand by country and CPV category.

Why this one

• English-first output. Each notice comes with TED's English title ("Germany – Software implementation services – …"), an English CPV category label, plain-English notice-type and procedure labels, and English country names. The original-language title is kept alongside.
• Filters that matter: buyer country (ISO-2 or ISO-3), CPV code or prefix, notice type, full-text keywords in any language, minimum EUR value and deadline. Power users get a raw expert-query box.
• Both deadlines: the tender deadline, plus the request-to-participate deadline for restricted and negotiated procedures. daysUntilDeadline is pre-computed.
• Only new since last run: schedule it daily and get just the new notices.
• Privacy by design: contact persons, emails, phones and award-winner names are never requested from the API. The output is organisation-level facts and links.
• Rate-limit friendly: well under TED's published fair-use limits, with backoff on errors.

onlyNewSinceLastRun	Delta mode (default on)	true
maxResults	Cap, newest first	1000

Tip: run once per target market (for example "DACH IT services" or "Nordics construction") as saved Tasks on a daily schedule.

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Price
Run started	$0.005
Notice delivered	$0.0025 (= $2.50 per 1,000)

Example: a daily run returning 40 new notices for your countries and CPV codes costs about $0.105 a day, roughly $3 a month. Set maximum cost per run to cap spend; the Actor stops cleanly at the cap. Platform compute is included.

Data source and licence

• Source: the public TED Search API (api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search, anonymous access), operated by the Publications Office of the European Union.
• Licence / reuse: per the TED legal notice, procurement notices published in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the EU can be freely reused for commercial or non-commercial purposes (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU on the reuse of Commission documents). Each output item carries a reuseNotice field.
• Fair use: TED asks technical users to use the API and publishes fair-use limits (700 requests per minute). This Actor sends at most about 2 requests per second, one at a time.
• We output facts and links only. Tender documents are not downloaded or re-hosted, and the TED logo is not used.

Privacy and legal note

• TED notices can name contact persons and, in award notices, winning tenderers who may be natural persons. This Actor never requests contact-person fields or winner names from the API, so they never enter your dataset. Buyer organisation names are kept. Optional descriptions have personal-looking emails and phone numbers scrubbed.
• This is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the Publications Office of the EU, the European Commission or TED. Always confirm details on the official notice before bidding.

Reliability

• Backoff and retries on 429/5xx and network errors. The run fails loudly with a clear message if TED changes its response format.
• Malformed notices are skipped and counted.
• Each run writes a RUN_SUMMARY record (matching total, read, delivered, skipped). A persistent run-health counter (runs started / succeeded / failed / unfinished, plus the last error) is kept in your account's eutf-state key-value store.
• A run with nothing new succeeds with zero items.

FAQ

Why is the title partly in another language? TED's English title is "Country – CPV category – buyer's own title". The first two parts are English and the last part is whatever the buyer wrote. originalTitle holds the buyer's title on its own.

Are UK tenders included? No. Since 2021 UK notices are published on the UK's own services, not on TED. See our UK Public Tenders Feed Actor.
