Public Tenders Scraper — EU TED, UK, US SAM.gov, France

Find government tenders and contract awards from the main official sources in one consistent format:

Source	Coverage
🇪🇺 TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)	Every EU and EEA country, all notices above the EU thresholds
🇬🇧 Find a Tender + Contracts Finder	United Kingdom, including lower-value contracts
🇺🇸 SAM.gov	US federal contract opportunities and awards
🇫🇷 BOAMP	France, including the contracts below the EU thresholds that never reach TED

Search by keyword, buyer country, CPV or NAICS code and get, for every notice: title, description, buyer, country and city, CPV/NAICS codes, estimated value and currency, deadline for bids, procedure, documents link and, for awards, who won and for how much.

Reliable by design: the data comes from the official publication platforms and open-data APIs, so there is nothing to block and no proxy cost. No API keys are needed.

What can you use it for?

• Bid monitoring: schedule a daily run with Published since = 1 day and get the new tenders in your field into Slack, email or your CRM.
• Sales pipeline for B2B companies: find public buyers that need what you sell, in the countries you serve.
• Competitor and market intelligence: see who wins which contracts, at what value, and which authorities buy what.
• Planned procurements: catch prior information notices and US pre-solicitations / sources sought before the tender is out.
• Research and journalism: build datasets of public spending by sector and country.

Sample results

A few of the notices from a real run for software and cybersecurity (the full description, CPV codes, buyer city, procedure and documents link are in the output too):

For awards you also get the winner, e.g. D A LANGUAGES LIMITED for Sussex Police's translation services (UK) or Carahsoft Technology Corp, 9,000,000 USD, on SAM.gov.

How much does it cost?

You pay per notice, with no monthly rental: $5 per 1,000 notices ($0.005 each). Notices removed by your filters (closed deadlines, other notice types, duplicates across keywords) are never charged. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which covers about 1,000 notices a month — plenty for daily monitoring of a few keywords. You can also set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

How to use it

1. Click Try for free and sign in to Apify (no credit card needed).
2. Type a few keywords (e.g. software, cleaning services, solar), and optionally pick sources, buyer countries and CPV or NAICS codes.
3. Choose the notice types: open tenders (default), planned procurements and/or contract awards.
4. Click Start. Download the notices as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to Google Sheets, Slack, email or your own system. For monitoring, create a schedule with Published since = 1 day.

Input

Field	Description
Keywords	Words to find in the notice title and description. Each keyword is a separate search; leave empty to get everything matching the other filters. TED translates titles into all EU languages, so English works across the EU; for BOAMP use French terms (logiciel, nettoyage).
Sources	ted, uk, sam, boamp. All by default.
Notice types	tender (open calls for bids), planning (prior information, pre-solicitations, sources sought), award (contract awards).
Published since	Absolute (2026-10-01) or relative (1 day, 7 days, 2 weeks). Default: 3 days.
Only tenders still open	Skip tenders whose deadline has passed (on by default).
Buyer countries	2-letter codes such as DE, FR, IT, PL, GB, US. Sources that don't cover them are skipped.
CPV codes	EU procurement codes for TED, the UK and BOAMP. A code covers its branch: 72000000 = all IT services, 45000000 = all construction work.
NAICS codes	US industry codes for SAM.gov, e.g. 541511.
Max notices	Limit for the whole run (0 = no limit). With a limit, you get the newest notices across all sources, so one busy source can't crowd out the others.

• noticeType is always tender, planning or award; noticeTypeDetail keeps the source's own type (e.g. TED cn-standard, SAM.gov Combined Synopsis/Solicitation).
• title is in the notice's own language. For TED, titleEnglish adds TED's English heading ("Germany – Software package and information systems – …").
• deadline is a date (TED) or a date and time in UTC (other sources).
• SAM.gov notices also get naicsCodes, setAside (small-business, 8(a), HUBZone, veteran- or women-owned programmes) and placeOfPerformance; award notices carry the award amount.

Privacy

This Actor outputs procurement data only. Sources also publish the names, emails and phone numbers of contact officers; those fields are never output, and email addresses found inside descriptions are replaced with [email removed]. Award winners are companies (occasionally sole traders, as published by the authority).

Limits

• UK Find a Tender has no search and allows only about a dozen requests before a 2-minute pause, so the Actor reads its feed slowly and for at most the last 31 days (about 10 seconds per 100 notices; a daily run takes under a minute). Contracts Finder is searched for the whole range.
• BOAMP keyword search works on the French subject and descriptors: use French keywords. When TED is also selected, BOAMP's EU-level notices are skipped because TED already has them.
• Keyword searches look at the title and description (and, for TED, the translated titles); notices that only mention a word in their legal boilerplate are left out on purpose.
• Values are the buyer's estimates as published, in the notice's currency. Many notices don't publish one.

FAQ

Do I need API keys or accounts? No. All sources are public.

Is it legal to use this data? Yes. Public procurement notices are published so that anyone can bid, and these sources release them as open data (US federal data is in the public domain). Contact persons' details are left out.

Which other countries are coming? National portals below the EU thresholds (Spain, Italy, Germany...) are next. Want one first? Open an issue.

Can I run it from my own code? Yes, through the Apify API. In Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("cleandata/public-tenders-scraper").call(
    run_input={"keywords": ["software"], "countries": ["DE", "FR"], "publishedSince": "1 day"}
)
for tender in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(tender["deadline"], tender["buyerName"], tender["title"])
