Sample output

Real data from a live run. Every result is a lot, not a notice:

{
  "lot_id": "202124-2026-LOT-1",
  "title": "Kraftstoffpumpen, elektrisch, Waffensystem Leopard",
  "title_en": "Fuel pumps, electric, weapon system Leopard",
  "language": "de",
  "cpv_main": "35420000",
  "cpv_description": "Parts of military vehicles",
  "buyer_name": "Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr",
  "country": "DEU",
  "procedure_type": "negotiated",
  "document_type": "can",
  "publication_date": "2026-03-22T00:00:00Z",
  "award": {
    "winner_name": "Global Logistics Support GmbH",
    "offers_received": 6,
    "is_sole_tender": false
  },
  "change_status": "new",
  "source_url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/202124-2026"
}

Multi-lot notices are split automatically — a 6-lot cleaning contract becomes 6 separate searchable records, each with independent CPV codes and winners.

Data source

All data from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — the EU's official public procurement platform. 76,000+ notices per month, public domain, updated daily.

Both XML formats handled automatically: eForms (UBL 2.3, since 2022) and legacy TED-XML (F02/F03/F05/F06 forms).

FAQ

How is this different from TED API v3? TED API returns notice-level data. Multi-lot notices can't be split reliably. We download and parse the full XML of every notice into lot-level records with CPV descriptions, translation, winner intelligence, and change detection.

Is the data legal? Yes. EU public procurement notices are public domain by design.

What about rate limits? We enforce TED's 700 req/min limit automatically. Typical run: 30-120 seconds for 100 lots.

Can I use this with AI agents? Yes. Structured JSON output designed for LangChain, Claude, AutoGPT.
