TED Tender Monitor — EU public tenders by trade

Find and monitor EU public procurement notices (TED — Tenders Electronic Daily) filtered by CPV code, country and keywords. Built for trades and SMEs who should be bidding on public contracts but don't have time to watch the portals.

Public buyers — municipalities, states, federal agencies — publish thousands of contracts every week: metalwork, construction, machining, IT, services. The businesses that win them are usually just the ones that saw them in time.

What it does

• Queries the official TED API (no scraping, no login, stable)
• Filters by CPV codes (e.g. 45262670 metalworking, 42600000 machine tools), countries (DEU, AUT, NLD, …) and optional keywords (e.g. Laserschneiden, CNC)
• Returns clean structured data: title, buyer, deadline, publication date, CPV, direct TED link + German PDF link
• Monitoring mode (onlyNew): run it on a schedule and each run emits only tenders you haven't seen before — connect the dataset to email/Slack/Sheets via any Apify integration and you have an automatic tender radar

Example: German metalworking, last 14 days
