EU TED Public Tenders Scraper

Search and download European Union public procurement notices from the official TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) portal — normalized JSON rows ready for CRM, alerts, or bid research.

Built for buyers who need structured EU tender data without writing TED expert queries by hand. Day-1 covers TED Europa’s public Search API (HTTP/JSON). No browser automation. No India GeM login.

What it returns

Each dataset item is one TED notice (normalized), including:

• noticeId — TED publication number (e.g. 579968-2026)
• title — preferred-language title
• buyerName — contracting authority
• buyerCountry — ISO-3 country code
• cpvCodes — unique CPV list
• publicationDate — when TED published the notice
• deadline — earliest tender receipt deadline when present
• estimatedValue / estimatedValueCurrency — when present on the notice
• totalValue / totalValueCurrency — award/total value when present
• procedureType / noticeType / contractNature
• documentUrls — procurement document links when present
• noticeUrl — public TED HTML detail page
• xmlUrl — official XML link
• source — always ted on Day-1 (extensible later)

Copy-paste input example

{
  "searchQuery": "software",
  "countries": ["DEU"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
  "dateFrom": "2026-08-01",
  "scope": "ACTIVE",
  "preferredLanguage": "eng",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "dedupeBy": "notice-id"
}

Sample output (EXAMPLE — synthetic shape from live TED fields)

{
  "noticeId": "579968-2026",
  "title": "Germany – IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support – EXAMPLE framework IT consulting",
  "buyerName": "Example Universitätsmedizin Berlin",
  "buyerCountry": "DEU",
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000", "72220000", "72224000"],
  "publicationDate": "2026-08-21",
  "deadline": "2026-08-28",
  "estimatedValue": null,
  "estimatedValueCurrency": null,
  "totalValue": null,
  "totalValueCurrency": null,
  "procedureType": "open",
  "noticeType": "cn-standard",
  "contractNature": ["services"],
  "documentUrls": ["https://example-buyer-portal.example/tenderdocuments"],
  "noticeUrl": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/579968-2026",
  "xmlUrl": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/579968-2026/xml",
  "source": "ted",
  "ojsNumber": null,
  "procedureId": null
}

Pricing (PPE)

Event	Price	Notes
notice-result	$0.005 / notice	Primary event — one charge per unique notice pushed
First ~50 results	Free	Configure free event count in Console monetization
Actor start	Free / platform default	Do not charge start-only

One serious buyer pulling 4,000 paid notices/month clears **$20**. Charge path uses Actor.pushData(row, "notice-result") with in-run dedupe by noticeId; the Actor stops cleanly when ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD / eventChargeLimitReached is hit.

Honest limitations

• TED only on Day-1. National portals (and India GeM) are out of scope for this release.
• Public notices only — anonymous Search API; no eSender submission, no unpublished drafts.
• Rate limits apply (TED fair use: e.g. ≤700 HTTP requests/minute). Large pulls use ITERATION pagination and may take time.
• Search returns notice projections, not a full lot-relational model. Lot-perfect joins may require following XML (optional future).
• ACTIVE scope is TED’s convenience set — not a guarantee every row is still open for bids; always check deadline / notice type.
• Historical depth via Search is roughly the last 10 years (scope: ALL), not a permanent legal archive.

Who it is for

Bid teams, market-intel analysts, and integrators who want EU OJ S / TED notices as clean JSON with filters for country, CPV, and dates.

Multi-portal roadmap (v1+)

Same dataset schema (source discriminator). Planned adapters (public HTTP where possible): DTVP, evergabe, UNGM / World Bank. v0 ships TED-class depth (batch queries, ITERATION pagination, normalize, cross-query dedup) so the product is not a thin single-endpoint wrapper.

Memory / runtime

• Default 256 MB (min 256 / max 512). HTTP JSON only — no browser.
• One run = many queries/pages (batch input). Pagination mode: ITERATION (iterationNextToken).
