Ausschreibungs-Monitor DACH – Public Tenders DE, AT, CH

Public tenders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, from official open sources, filtered to what you sell, delivered only once.

German public procurement is split across portals. Above EU thresholds, tenders appear on TED. Below the thresholds (the large majority for small and mid-sized companies) they appear on the federal Datenservice Öffentlicher Einkauf (oeffentlichevergabe.de) and on service.bund.de. This Actor queries official, openly licensed sources (TED and the Datenservice Öffentlicher Einkauf; service.bund.de optionally, title and link only), merges duplicates and returns one clean list. It covers what these sources publish; tenders that appear only on other portals (for example some state or municipal platforms) are not included, so the feed is not guaranteed to be complete.

Optionally it also covers Austria (TED plus the legally required Kerndaten open-data sources under BVergG, incl. below-threshold tenders) and Switzerland (simap.ch). Choose with countries; default is Germany only. simap.ch is off by default: to get Swiss tenders, select Switzerland under countries and add simap under sources. Please check the simap.ch terms yourself before reusing Swiss data commercially.

What you get

• One feed, official sources: Germany: EU TED Search API, Datenservice Öffentlicher Einkauf (daily OCDS export, incl. below-threshold tenders) and optionally the service.bund.de tender feed (title, deadline and link only). Austria: TED and the Kerndaten sources listed on data.gv.at. Switzerland: simap.ch (optional, off by default).
• Country field: every item has country (DE, AT, CH), so mixed feeds are easy to split.
• Only new tenders: with onlyNew the Actor remembers what it already delivered. Schedule it daily and you see each tender once, and you only pay for new ones.
• Filters that matter for bidders: keywords, exclusion words, CPV prefixes (e.g. 72 = IT services), Bundesland or canton (Bayern, NRW, Steiermark, NUTS codes like DE21 or AT13, Swiss cantons like CH-ZH) and minimum days until the submission deadline.
• Duplicates merged: a tender published on TED and nationally appears once, with alsoPublishedIn.
• Alerts: optional webhook (Slack, Microsoft Teams workflow, Discord, Zapier, Make, n8n) receives a Markdown digest and all new tenders. The digest is also stored as DIGEST in the key-value store.
• Robust: if one portal is down, the others still deliver; the run only fails if no source is reachable, and the "already seen" memory is never overwritten by an empty run.

Fields that a source does not provide are null (for example service.bund.de has no CPV codes, some Austrian Kerndaten sources have no region).

When several countries are selected and maxItems is reached, the newest tenders are delivered first; the rest follow in the next run when onlyNew is on (as long as they are within daysBack).

Pricing

Pay per result: you are charged per new tender delivered. Runs that find nothing new cost only the Actor start. Use maxItems to cap the cost of a run.

• Austria: Kerndaten sources under the Bundesvergabegesetz, listed on data.gv.at (eForms, CC BY 4.0). Some sources are occasionally unreachable; the others still deliver.
• Switzerland: simap.ch public API (official procurement platform of the Confederation, cantons and municipalities), off by default, used under the simap.ch API terms. Whether those terms allow commercial reuse is not clearly settled; check them before you use Swiss data commercially. This is not an official publication.

Every item carries a sourceNotice with the source and licence. If you republish the data, keep that notice (required for CC BY 4.0 and the simap.ch terms). Tender texts are excerpts and may be shortened; the linked original notice is authoritative. No warranty for completeness or correctness.

The Actor only reads official public notices. Data protection: e-mail addresses and phone/fax numbers contained in tender descriptions are removed before output; the Actor does not collect contact persons. Buyer names are those of public bodies.
