EU Public Tenders (TED) – Search & Daily Alerts API

Search EU public tenders from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) – the official journal for public procurement in the European Union – and get clean, flat JSON rows. The Actor uses the official, open TED Search API (api.ted.europa.eu, no API key, no website scraping) and turns simple filters like country, CPV code, keyword, notice type, value and deadline into a TED expert query for you.

One row per notice with buyer, country, city, CPV codes, notice and procedure type, estimated value and currency, publication date, submission deadline, number of lots, a short summary and the direct TED link – ready for daily alerts in n8n, Make or Zapier, CRM import, Slack/e-mail notifications or as a data source for AI sales agents.

Who is it for?

• Companies selling to the public sector in Europe (IT, consulting, construction, facility services, medical suppliers) that want a daily feed of new calls for tenders matching their CPV codes and countries.
• Bid managers and tender consultants watching several countries at once.
• Market and competitor research – switch to contract award notices to see who buys what and how large contracts are.
• Developers and AI agents that need structured EU procurement data without learning TED's expert-query syntax.

Why this Actor?

• Official open data only – TED Search API v3 of the Publications Office of the EU. No login, no API key, no bot-protection tricks.
• Simple filters instead of expert-query syntax – ISO country codes (DEU, AUT, FRA – 2-letter codes are converted), CPV prefixes (72 = IT services), notice type, "published in the last N days", deadline and minimum value.
• Flat, normalised schema – deadline as ISO date-time (earliest lot deadline), value summed across lots with currency, main CPV plus all CPV codes, title/buyer in your preferred language (English by default).
• Privacy by design – only the contracting organisation is returned, never contact persons, e-mail addresses or phone numbers.
• Fast and cheap – the default input (Germany, CPV 72, last 7 days, 20 notices) finishes in about 10 seconds; you pay only for notices returned.
• Robust – if TED changes or drops a field, the Actor removes it and keeps running instead of failing your daily workflow.

Looking only for German tenders below the EU thresholds too? Use our sister Actor German Public Tenders – service.bund.de, which covers national federal, state and municipal tenders in Germany. Together they give you EU-wide and German national coverage.
