German Public Tenders

What does German Public Tenders do?

German Public Tenders finds open public tenders (Ausschreibungen) from Germany in the official EU procurement database TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) and returns them as clean, structured data: title, buyer, CPV industry codes, region, bid deadline, estimated value and direct links to the tender documents. Austria and other EU countries are supported too.

The data comes from the official TED Search API of the Publications Office of the EU. TED notices may be reused freely, also commercially, with attribution (CC BY 4.0). No contact persons, e-mail addresses or phone numbers are included.

Typical uses:

• Daily or weekly tender alerts for your industry, e.g. all new IT, cleaning or construction tenders in your region
• Lead lists for bid teams and consultants with deadlines and document links
• Market research on public demand by region, CPV category and buyer
• Automations and AI agents that screen new tenders and draft bid/no-bid decisions

FAQ

Is it legal to use this data?

Yes, TED notices may be reused freely for commercial and non-commercial purposes with attribution (CC BY 4.0), according to the TED legal notice. The Actor uses the official public TED Search API, respects rate limits and returns no personal contact data. Keep the source attribution when you republish the data.

Why are value and duration often empty?

Many buyers do not publish an estimated value or duration in the notice. The Actor returns what TED publishes and leaves the field empty otherwise.

Does it include national tenders below the EU threshold?

No. TED contains tenders above the EU thresholds and some voluntarily published ones. Smaller national tenders are only published on national portals.

Why did my run stop early?

Either Maximum results or your spending limit was reached. The status message of the run tells you which one.

Can I use it through the API or with AI agents?

Yes. Every input field is documented for API and MCP use. Call the Actor with a JSON input like {"cpvCodes": ["72"], "regions": ["DE3"]}.
