EU Contract Awards Tracker — Who Won Public Tenders (TED)

Track EU contract award notices from the official TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) API and find out who won public contracts, for how much, and from which buyer. This EU contract awards tracker is built for competitive intelligence: instead of open calls, it surfaces the results of public procurement — winners, values and buyers — with a built-in relevance score, automatic deduplication and a new-only alert mode.

Unlike a raw dump, every award is scored 0–100 against your keywords and de-duplicated across notice versions, so the most relevant wins surface first — and you can watch a specific competitor with the winner_name filter.

Why this actor

• Official source, no scraping tricks. Data comes from the public TED v3 Search API (contract award notices) — no residential proxies, no anti-bot games.
• Winner-first output. award_winner, value_amount and buyer_name are front and centre, so you instantly see who won what.
• Track a competitor. Set winner_name to follow every contract a given supplier wins across the EU.
• Relevance scoring (0–100). Keywords weighted across title, CPV and description — sort or filter by relevance_score.
• Deduplication + new-only alerts. Collapse re-published notices, and on scheduled runs return only awards you haven't seen before.
• Stable flat schema. Identical field names across our TED, BOAMP and Awards actors.

Input

Field	Type	Description
keywords	array	Search terms (full text over title + description), OR-combined. Required.
winner_name	string	Track contracts won by a specific company (fuzzy match).
country	array	Buyer country, ISO alpha-2 or alpha-3 (e.g. FR, DE). Empty = all EU/EEA.
cpv	array	CPV codes (e.g. 72000000).
date_from / date_to	string	YYYY-MM-DD. Empty date_from = last 30 days.
notice_type	array	Advanced: award notice-type codes. Default: can-standard, can-social, can-desg.
min_relevance_score	integer	Drop results below this 0–100 score.
alert_new_only	boolean	Return only awards new since the last run.
alert_key	string	Namespace so different saved searches keep separate history.

Use cases

Competitive intelligence

Follow a competitor with winner_name and see every public contract they win across the EU — values, buyers, sectors.

Win/loss & market sizing

Aggregate awards by CPV, country and buyer to size addressable markets and benchmark typical contract values.

Partner & supplier discovery

Identify active winners in a sector as potential partners, subcontractors or acquisition targets.

Monitoring & alerts

Schedule with alert_new_only: true to get only fresh awards — ideal for tracking a rival's wins without noise.

RAG / LLM pipelines

The clean flat schema feeds award-intelligence agents and retrieval-augmented summaries.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing: $0.005 per award returned (per dataset item), plus Apify platform usage. A 100-result run costs about $0.50 in result fees. max_items caps your spend and alert_new_only keeps scheduled monitoring cheap.

Data source & licensing

Data is retrieved from the official TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) API of the Publications Office of the European Union (contract award notices). TED data is re-usable for commercial and non-commercial purposes under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU, provided the source is acknowledged. No warranty is given about the completeness or accuracy of the underlying notices.

Notes & limits

• Defaults to the last 30 days when no date_from is given, so the default run always returns fresh awards.
• Not every award notice publishes a structured value or winner; those fields are then null. When winner_name is set, only notices with an identifiable winner are returned.
• For open tenders (not yet awarded) see our TED EU Public Tenders actor; for French national notices see our BOAMP France Marchés Publics actor.
