Construction Tender Radar DE - TED

Find single-lot German construction works in TED notices, with source deadlines, official links and exact parent-linked comparisons. Coverage excludes unsupported notices, German tenders absent from TED and complete cancellation history.

Quick start

Choose an inclusive publication window of 1-31 days, optional cpvPrefixes/performance nutsPrefixes and a small result limit. Download the dataset/CSV and read coverage. These historical dates include expired notices; update them for current monitoring.

{"dateFrom":"2026-10-01","dateTo":"2026-10-20","cpvPrefixes":["45"],"maxResults":3,"maxPages":2,"maxParentLookups":2,"maxRunTimeMs":30000}

No TED account, key or proxy is needed. No contacts, full descriptions or attachments are requested. German titles are retained; missing facts are not invented.

Qualification and fields

Only cn-standard/can-standard notices with exactly one lot qualify. Lot MAIN CPV must match a configured prefix beginning 45, main nature must be works, and performance countries must identify Germany alone (DEU). NUTS filters lot performance. Buyer/procedure fields or additional CPV never substitute.

Multi-lot notices are excluded because flat arrays cannot prove each lot's field associations. Absence/exclusion does not prove no tender exists. Identical UUID/version rows are deduplicated per run; conflicting copies are excluded.

Fields	Meaning
recordKey, publicationNumber, noticeId, noticeVersion, procedureId, lotId, noticeType	Source identity and notice type.
titleDe, mainCpv, additionalCpv, mainNature, performanceCountries, performanceNuts	German title and lot classification/location.
publicationDateRaw, deadlineDateRaw, deadlineTimeRaw, deadline	Raw dates/time; combined deadline requires unambiguous values and matching offsets, otherwise null.
eventType, winnerSelectionStatus, nonAwardReason, reportedNoticeState, changeReason	Source codes and the classifications explained below.
changeParentBusinessId, parentReference, comparison, lineageComplete	Explicit parent evidence; lineageComplete is always false.
sourceUrl, sourceXmlUrl, observedAt, sourceAttribution, transformations	Official links, observation time, credit and processing labels.
qualityFlags, observationChange	Missing/ambiguous fields and comparison with your supplied snapshot.

Lifecycle meaning

competition_observation does not mean bidding remains open. deadline_changed requires the exact parent UUID/version, same procedure/lot and two known deadlines. comparison gives before/after, delta seconds and both official links. Both UUIDs can have version 1; version number alone proves no chronology.

lot_closed_no_winner preserves clos-nw: no winner chosen and competition closed. It is not automatically formal cancellation. award_reported preserves selec-w: at least one winner chosen; no winner identity, award value or signed-contract claim is extracted. all-rej includes tenders, requests or projects withdrawn or found inadmissible, not simply "all bids rejected."

reported_notice_state preserves explicit cancel, cancel-intent or susp-review codes separately; it does not infer the status of the entire procedure. Missing, ambiguous, unavailable, out-of-scope or capped parents yield comparison.status: unresolved, with no invented prior value. Only one explicit parent is compared, never full ancestry.

Historical pair 644373-2026 to 674305-2026 proves a move from 2026-10-05T10:30:00+02:00 to 2026-10-07T10:30:00+02:00 (+172800 seconds), not a live opportunity.

Outputs and snapshots

Dataset: qualified observations in JSON or standard Apify exports. OUTPUT: counts, exclusions, unresolved comparisons, errors and coverage. TENDERS: CSV with formula-like cells escaped. SNAPSHOT: compact {recordKey,contentHash} pairs for the next input's previousSnapshots.

observationChange is new/unchanged/changed against supplied source-field hashes, not a legal amendment. Hashes do not authenticate history; absence never means removal. Parent availability alone does not change that hash.

Bounds and coverage

Limits: maxResults 20, maxPages 2, pageSize 20, maxParentLookups 10, maxHttpAttempts 14 including retries, maxRetries 1, timeoutMs 30000 per request/body, 2 MiB per response and 16 MiB total. maxRunTimeMs is at most 60000 including spacing/backoff; storage adds time. Input: at most 1 MiB and 1000 snapshots.

Requests start at least 2.1 seconds apart: our policy, not a claimed TED limit. Bounded Retry-After waits are respected. HTTP 401/403 stops source calls; no challenge bypass. Interrupted fetching fails closed on restart so request/byte/spacing budgets cannot reset; start a fresh explicitly scoped run. Prepared output, delivery and artifact phases support safe same-run recovery.

Stateless page-number results can change mid-run; there is no stable continuation cursor. complete:true requires a short page consistent with the API total, no exclusions/errors and resolved comparisons. It applies only to this bounded query observation, not all German procurement, full lineage or cancellation coverage. Caps, ambiguity and source failures produce partial/failed reports. Narrow or overlap publication windows deliberately.

Pricing and recovery

Pricing is USD 0.01 per delivered qualified distinct observation (USD 10 per 1,000) via notice-returned, with platform usage included. Check the Actor Pricing tab for the actual configuration. No startup fee or notice event applies to empty, excluded or failed observations. Delivered notices with unresolved comparisons are billable; parent lookups and artifacts have no separate event. Separate runs can deliver and charge for the same notice again, including unchanged observations.

A zero spending limit stops before retrieval/delivery. Paid same-run recovery checks exact stored rows and named charge counts; ambiguous acknowledgement stops for reconciliation instead of blindly appending/charging again. Free configuration emits no product event; platform usage follows its selected pricing model.
