EU + Poland Procurement Monitor — TED + BZP delta feed

One actor, complete Polish procurement coverage, one normalized schema:

• TED (Tenders Electronic Daily, api.ted.europa.eu) — the EU's official journal of public procurement. Covers every EU country, including all Polish notices above the EU threshold. You can widen or narrow the country filter freely (default: Poland + neighbors).
• BZP (Biuletyn Zamówień Publicznych via ezamowienia.gov.pl) — Poland's official domestic bulletin. Covers Polish notices below the EU threshold, which never reach TED.

Together the two sources are the complete Polish public-procurement picture — plus as much of the rest of the EU as you ask for. Both are official open government APIs; no scraping of third-party aggregators, no proxies, no credentials.

The product: a delta feed, not a dump

With deltaMode on (the default), the actor remembers every notice it has already emitted (in the named key-value store dataworks-procurement-state) and each run outputs only notices it has never emitted before. Run it on a schedule and the dataset of each run is a clean incremental feed:

1. Create a Task with your CPV codes / keywords / countries.
2. Schedule it (e.g. every 6 hours — both sources publish continuously on business days).
3. Consume each run's dataset (webhook, integration, or MCP) — every record is new, no dedup work on your side.

The date window defaults to "since the last successful run" (first run: last 24 h), so a missed schedule slot heals itself on the next run. A zero-emit delta run tells you which kind of zero it was: the status message reads "Nothing new — fetched N notices, all already seen" when the sources are alive (fine), but a source that fetched/matched nothing at all is flagged as degraded in the status message and in OUTPUT.degradedSources — treat that as a pipeline problem (state store deleted, API change) rather than a quiet market, because Polish public procurement alone publishes hundreds of notices every business day. Outside delta mode, a run where every requested source matches zero notices fails red instead of shipping an empty dataset.

Set deltaMode: false for a one-off, stateless date-range query (backfills, research).

Input

Field	Default	Notes
sources	both	ted, bzp, or both.
cpvCodes	[] = all	CPV codes or prefixes ("72" = the whole IT-services family). Prefix/hierarchical matching on both sources.
keywords	[] = all	OR-combined. TED: server-side full-text search. BZP: matched against title + buyer name.
tedCountries	["POL","DEU","CZE","SVK","LTU","UKR"]	TED buyer-country filter, ISO 2- or 3-letter. Empty list = all EU.
includeAwardNotices	false	Also emit contract-award/result notices.
dateFrom / dateTo	last run → now	ISO dates. Explicit values override delta defaults.
maxNotices	200	Clamped to 1..5000, applied to the emitted feed.
deltaMode	true	See above.

Output — one normalized record for both sources

Field	Example	Notes
source	"ted" / "bzp"
noticeId	"557023-2026" / "2026/BZP 00388143/01"	Source-native id.
uid	"ted:557023-2026"	Globally unique — the dedup key.
type	"contract-notice" | "contract-award" | "other"	Normalized.
rawType	"cn-standard" / "ContractNotice"	The source's own type string.
title	"Poland – IT services … umowa ramowa"	TED: English preferred (EU-translated), original otherwise; BZP: Polish. titleLang says which.
buyer	{ name, nameLang, city, province, country }	province is a NUTS code where available.
cpv	["72000000","72250000"]	Normalized 8-digit codes, deduped.
publishedAt	"2026-08-12" / "2026-08-12T04:50:05Z"	TED publishes day granularity; BZP a full timestamp.
deadlineAt	"2026-09-11"	Tender-submission deadline when the notice carries one.
belowEU	true	BZP only — below-EU-threshold flag.
sourceUrl	notice page on ted.europa.eu / ezamowienia.gov.pl	Human-readable.
rawLinks	{ html, xml, pdf }	Machine formats (TED XML, BZP PDF).
scrapedAt	ISO timestamp

Each run also writes an OUTPUT summary (per-source fetch/match counts, already-seen count, per-source errors) to its default key-value store — check it before trusting an empty dataset.

Pricing (pay-per-event)

Event	Fires	Price
qualified-notice	per normalized notice delivered	$0.002 ($2.00 / 1,000 notices)
Actor Start	once per run, charged by the platform	$0.00005 ($0.05 / 1,000 runs)
Result	per record stored, charged by the platform	$0.00001 ($0.01 / 1,000 records)

The last two rows are Apify platform events rather than ours, listed so this table matches the pricing shown on the Store page exactly. They matter most on a schedule: a delta run that finds nothing new still pays the run charge, so an hourly schedule costs about $0.04 a month even in a completely quiet month. Platform usage — compute and network — is bundled: no separate usage line.

You pay for delivered records, not runtime — filtered-out and already-seen notices cost nothing. Runs respect your budget cap (maxTotalChargeUsd): when the cap is reached the actor stops delivering, reports how much of the result set was delivered, and never charges past it.

Using it from an AI agent (MCP)

The actor works well as an agent tool via Apify's MCP server: an agent can call it with a CPV set and get back a compact, normalized JSON feed it can reason over.

"Watch Polish public tenders for IT services. Every morning give me anything new above or below the EU threshold, with deadlines."

An agent handling this calls the actor with {"cpvCodes": ["72"], "sources": "both"} on a schedule (delta mode on) and summarizes each run's dataset — the uid, deadlineAt, and sourceUrl fields are all it needs to track, remind, and link.

Honest limits

• Poland-complete, EU-partial by design. Below-EU-threshold coverage is Poland only (BZP). Other countries' domestic below-threshold bulletins are not included.
• TED publishes day-granularity dates, so publishedAt/deadlineAt from TED carry no time of day. Delta mode makes overlapping windows safe.
• BZP filtering is client-side (the official API has no CPV/keyword parameters), so a very narrow filter over a long date range reads more pages than it emits records. Keep scheduled windows short — delta mode does this for you.
• Keyword search is literal, not stemmed: kolej also matches kolejny, and Polish inflection means ministerstwo will not match ministerstwa. Prefer CPV codes for precision; keywords are a complement.
• maxNotices caps collection per run. On very broad filters with a long window the cap can truncate; anything truncated in delta mode is emitted by the next run.
• Data is republished from official public registers unchanged; verify legal details on the linked source notice before acting on them.
