What is the TED Tender Scraper?

TED Tender Scraper (Procurement Radar) pulls public tenders from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official EU public procurement journal, from UK Find a Tender, and from US SAM.gov (Contract Opportunities), plus US federal contract awards from USAspending.gov (who won, for how much), and returns them in one clean table. Filter by CPV code, NAICS code, keyword, country, publication date or deadline, and notice type, and get each notice's ID, title, buyer, CPV codes, deadline, estimated value and a direct link. Award rows also show the award date, value and the winning companies.

Filters by CPV, country, notice type, keywords and dates; exports JSON, CSV or Excel; TED needs no API key or login.

Price: $3 per 1,000 results (pay per result, $0.003 per tender notice or contract award, plus a tiny $0.00005 run-start fee). No monthly fee. It costs more than the $1–2 per 1,000 some general TED scrapers charge because you get a curated IT/software slice with ready, normalized output. Example: all 853 IT/software notices TED published in the week of 28 Sep–2 Oct 2026 cost about $2.56.

• 🇪🇺 TED needs no API key and no account. The Actor reads the official, free TED Search API (v3).
• 🇬🇧 UK Find a Tender needs no key either. The Actor reads the official Find a Tender OCDS API (Open Government Licence).
• 🏆 US contract awards need no key: new federal contract awards from the official USAspending.gov API, with the winning company, amount and agency.
• 🇺🇸 SAM.gov does need a key: your own free SAM.gov public API key, pasted into the input.
• 🔎 Filter by keyword, CPV code (EU), NAICS code (US), country, publication date or deadline, notice type
• 🆕 Only new tenders mode: scheduled runs return only notices you haven't seen yet
• 🧾 One format for every source, ready for Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, JSON or your CRM
• 🔒 Organization-level data only: no personal contact details, and suppliers who may be individuals are never named
• ⚙️ Uses the official TED, Find a Tender, SAM.gov and USAspending.gov APIs, not page scraping
• 💶 $3 per 1,000 results ($0.003 per notice or award), no monthly fee, no subscription

Quick start: open the public example task Track new EU IT and software tenders daily (TED, IT/software CPV 72000000 + 48000000, real output), click Start, then schedule it daily.

How many tenders does TED publish? (real, dated numbers)

In the working week Mon 28 Sep – Fri 2 Oct 2026, TED published 853 new IT and software contract notices (CPV 72000000 IT services or 48000000 software, notice type cn-standard). These are the same filters as the example task above.

Buyer country	Notices
Poland	174
Germany	146
Spain	59
France	45
Sweden	41
All EU/EEA countries	853

Day (2026)	Notices
Mon 28 Sep	181

Wed 30 Sep	159
Thu 1 Oct	172
Fri 2 Oct	190

Source: official TED Search API counts, pulled on 5 Oct 2026 and checked again on 15 Oct 2026. Getting all 853 with this Actor would cost about 853 × $0.003 ≈ $2.56.

How many UK tenders and US contract awards are there? (real, dated numbers)

Source: official Find a Tender OCDS API and USAspending.gov API, pulled on 19 Oct 2026. Getting all 32 UK IT tenders plus all 58 US IT awards with this Actor would cost about 90 × $0.003 ≈ $0.27.

Why use it?

• Bid and proposal teams: get a daily list of new opportunities for your CPV/NAICS codes instead of checking two portals by hand.
• GovCon consultants and agencies: build tender alerts for several clients from one tool.
• B2B sales teams: spot public-sector buyers that are about to purchase what you sell.
• Market research: export tender volumes by country, category or buyer.
• Competitor and partner research: see which companies win UK and US government IT contracts, at what value, and from which agencies.
• Tender-alert products and AI agents: feed normalized notices into your own app, Slack channel or AI workflow.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for the rows you get: every tender notice or contract award costs the same. There is no monthly fee and platform usage is not charged separately.

What	Price
One tender notice or contract award	$0.003
1,000 rows	$3
Run start	$0.00005 per run (at the default 512 MB)

Examples: a daily alert that returns 20 new tenders costs about $0.06 a day (about $1.80 a month). Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which covers roughly 1,600 tenders. Use Max results to cap what a single run can cost.

Integrations

• Schedules: run daily or hourly and get only new tenders.
• Zapier, Make, n8n: send new tenders to email, Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable or your CRM.
• Webhooks: trigger your own workflow when a run finishes.

Use via API, MCP or CLI

• API tab: open this Actor's API tab on Apify for ready-made JavaScript, Python and OpenAPI clients that start a run and download results through the Apify API.
• MCP: connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client to Apify's MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com. Add this Actor (carmentara/procurement-radar) so the agent can run searches for you. Sign in with OAuth, or pass an Apify API token; running Actors needs a token.
• CLI (Apify CLI):

apify call carmentara/procurement-radar -p '{
  "sources": ["ted"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000","48000000"],
  "maxResults": 10
}'

Tips and limits

• UK Find a Tender is UK-only and USAspending.gov is US-only. If you set countries, include GB to keep Find a Tender and US to keep SAM.gov and USAspending.gov.
• USAspending.gov data lags. Agencies report new awards within days, and Department of Defense awards appear after a 90-day delay, so a "new awards" run shows awards as they are reported, not on the day they are signed.
• Suppliers who may be individuals are not named. On award rows, a supplier is named only when it has a company or charity register ID or a company-type name (Ltd, LLC, Inc …). Others are counted in suppliersWithheld.
• SAM.gov needs your own API key. Personal keys have a small daily request quota, so keep the number of keywords × NAICS codes small.
• On SAM.gov, keywords match the title of the opportunity.
• CPV codes apply to TED and UK Find a Tender; NAICS codes apply to SAM.gov and USAspending.gov. You can use both in one run.
• CPV matching uses every CPV code on a notice, not only the main one. A notice is returned if any of its listed CPV codes matches your filter, so check cpvCodes if you only want notices whose first (main) code is yours.
• Countries are applied per source.
  • TED supports EU/EEA buyer countries only. Inputs are mapped to ISO‑3 (DE→DEU, etc.). Unsupported codes (e.g., US) are ignored with a warning. If none of the provided countries apply, TED is skipped with a warning.
  • SAM.gov is US‑centric in this actor. Only US is applied; if you provide only non‑US codes, SAM.gov is skipped with a warning. When omitted, no country filter is applied.
• By default, closed tenders (deadline passed) and award notices are left out. Turn on Include closed (past deadline) notices or Include award/result notices to get them.
• Only new since last run remembers what you've already received. Turn it off to get the full result list again.
• If one source is temporarily unavailable, the run still returns results from the other sources, logs the error, and sets a run status message.

FAQ

How many IT/software tenders are there in a month?

In October 2026, TED published 4,401 contract notices in CPV 72*/48*/30.2 — roughly ~1,000 per week. Tracking all of them costs about $3/week at $0.003/result for ~1,000 notices.
Source: official TED Search API counts pulled in Nov 2026 (CPV prefixes 72, 48, 30.2).

How do I scrape TED tenders?

Run this Actor with EU TED as the source and your CPV codes, keywords or countries; it queries the official TED Search API (no API key, no account) and returns each notice as a row you can download as CSV, Excel or JSON. The fastest start is the EU IT and software example task.

Is there an API for TED tenders?

Yes: the official TED Search API (v3) is free and needs no key, and it's the right choice if you want to write your own expert-search queries, paging and storage. Use this Actor instead when you want form-based filters, "only new since last run" alerts, scheduling and integrations, or TED and SAM.gov in one output format.

How much does it cost?

$0.003 per tender notice returned, plus $0.00005 per run start at the default 512 MB, with no monthly fee. For example, all 853 EU IT and software notices from the week of 28 Sep – 2 Oct 2026 would cost about 853 × $0.003 ≈ $2.56.

Can I get daily alerts by CPV code?

Yes. Enter your CPV codes, turn on Only new since last run, and schedule the run daily; each run then returns only notices you haven't received yet. The CPV filter matches a notice if the code appears anywhere in its CPV list (main or additional codes), so a few results can have a different main category, for example a car-park tender that also lists an IT services code.

Can I export to Sheets/Slack?

Yes. Download results as CSV or Excel for Google Sheets, or use Apify's Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n integrations; free ready-made Slack alert templates for n8n, Make and Zapier are at carmentara.com/automations/apify-to-slack.

Is it legal to collect this data?

The tool reads official public APIs from SAM.gov, the EU Publications Office (TED), the UK Cabinet Office (Find a Tender, Open Government Licence) and USAspending.gov (US Treasury). They publish procurement notices and awards so the public can find, bid on and scrutinise them. Only organization-level data is returned and personal contact details are removed. You are responsible for how you use the data. If you are unsure, check with a legal advisor.

Is there an API for UK Find a Tender?

Yes: Find a Tender publishes every notice through a free OCDS API with no key, under the Open Government Licence. This Actor reads that API and adds CPV and keyword filters, "only new since last run" alerts, scheduling, and the same output format as TED and SAM.gov.

How can I see who won a government contract?

Turn on Include award/result notices for UK Find a Tender, or add US contract awards (USAspending.gov) as a source. Award rows include the award date, value, buying agency and the winning companies with their Companies House number or UEI. Run it daily with Only new since last run to follow new awards in your NAICS or CPV codes.

Are personal names included?

No. Personal contact details (names, emails, phone numbers) are removed from every source. On award rows, suppliers that may be individuals or sole traders are not named; they are only counted in suppliersWithheld.

Do I need a SAM.gov API key?

Only for US open tenders from SAM.gov. EU TED, UK Find a Tender and US contract awards from USAspending.gov work without one. Get a free key by signing in at SAM.gov and requesting a public API key under your account details, then paste it into the SAM.gov API key field. The key is stored as a secret input.

Which countries are covered?

The US federal government through SAM.gov (open tenders) and USAspending.gov (contract awards), the UK through Find a Tender, and the EU/EEA plus other countries that publish on TED.

How fresh is the data?

Each run queries the sources live. TED publishes new notices on working days, Find a Tender and SAM.gov update continuously, and USAspending.gov is refreshed daily.

Can I search by keyword in another language?

Yes for TED, which matches keywords in the notice title and description. Many EU notices are published in the buyer's language, so adding local-language keywords finds more results.
