EU Tenders Monitor (TED): European Public Procurement

Get new EU public procurement notices (calls for tenders, contract awards and prior information notices) from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the EU's official procurement journal, as clean JSON rows. Filter by buyer country, CPV code, keywords and value in EUR. Schedule it daily and it returns only the notices you haven't seen yet. It uses the official TED Search API, so you don't need an API key, a login or any scraping.

Built and maintained by FedSignals Data.

What it does

• Searches every notice on TED (EU 27, EEA and other countries that publish there): thousands of new notices every working day.
• Filters by buyer country, CPV code (parent codes include all sub-codes), keywords in any language, notice type and minimum value.
• Normalizes the eForms data: English title where available, buyer, earliest and latest lot deadline in UTC, value converted to EUR (ECB reference rate), unique CPV codes, lots, and links to the TED page and the buyer's tender documents.
• Open calls only by default: openOnly drops calls once every lot's deadline has passed, so you only see tenders you can still bid on (a notice stays in while any lot is open).
• Incremental by default: onlyNew remembers which notices it already delivered for your filter set, so a daily schedule returns, and charges for, new notices only.
• Privacy by design: contact persons, emails and phone numbers are never requested, emails and phone numbers that buyers write into titles or descriptions are replaced with [redacted], and winner names are not collected. Titles and descriptions are passed on as the buyer published them; in rare cases (about 0.15% of notices in our 2,000-notice check) they name an official or a designer in their professional role. Emails and phone numbers in that text are still redacted.

Use cases

• Daily "new tenders in my sector" alerts for bid teams, by email, Slack or CRM
• Lead lists of public buyers for IT, construction, consulting, medical and facility services
• Market research on contract awards by country and sector
• Feeding a bid/no-bid scoring model or an LLM agent with fresh tenders

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
countries	list	all	Buyer countries: DE, DEU or Germany. Misspellings fail before any notice is charged, with a suggestion.
cpvCodes	list	all	CPV codes, e.g. 72000000 (IT services) or 45000000 (construction). Sub-codes are included. Check digit optional.
keywords	text	–	Comma-separated words or phrases; a notice matches if it contains any of them.
noticeTypes	list	competition	competition (calls for tenders), result (contract awards), planning (prior information). An empty list returns all three.
minValueEur	integer	0	Only notices worth at least this much in EUR. On award notices for framework agreements, TED's total can be the framework maximum, so such notices may pass a high minimum.
includeWithoutValue	boolean	true	With a minimum value set, keep notices whose buyer published no value.
publishedWithinDays	integer	3	Look back this many days (1–90).
openOnly	boolean	true	Drop calls for tenders and prior information notices once every lot deadline has passed (checked against the current UTC time; a notice with any lot still open is kept). Notices with no deadline, and contract awards, are always kept.
onlyNew	boolean	true	Return only notices not delivered by an earlier run with the same filters.
maxItems	integer	100	Stop after this many notices (caps the cost).
stateKey	text	–	Advanced: name the "already seen" memory to share it between tasks.

estimatedValue / estimatedValueEur hold the buyer's estimate only. On contract award (result) notices the total awarded is in awardedValue / awardedCurrency / awardedValueEur (null on other notices). valueBasis tells you which figure minValueEur was compared against: awarded (awardedValueEur, result notices), estimated (procedure estimate), estimatedLots (sum of lot estimates) or none (the buyer published no value). Framework agreements: on award notices TED's total is often the framework maximum, which can far exceed what was actually awarded (e.g. notice 745274-2026 shows €4.01 billion against €407,237.86 payable), so awardedValue, awardedValueEur and any minValueEur filter on award notices can be inflated by such rows. deadline is the earliest lot deadline and latestDeadline the latest one (they are the same for single-lot notices). deadlineType is tenders, or requestsToParticipate for restricted and negotiated procedures.

A SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store shows the TED query, total matches, notices delivered per type and country, skipped notices (already seen, deadline passed, below the minimum value) and why the run stopped (completed, maxItems, spendingLimit, scanLimit, upstreamError). If TED fails partway through, the run keeps the notices it already delivered and lists the error under partialFailures instead of crashing.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.003 per notice ($3 per 1,000), plus Apify's start fee of $0.00005 per run. Already-seen notices are skipped for free. Example: a daily run returning 20 new notices costs about $0.06 per day, or about $1.80 a month. Set maxItems or a maximum charge per run to cap the cost; the run stops cleanly before going over it (start fee included). Runs that find nothing new cost only the start fee. If the input is invalid, the run stops before any notice is charged: no results were charged; only Apify's small start fee ($0.00005) applied.

FAQ

Do I need a TED account or API key? No. The TED Search API is open and needs no authentication.

Why is the title in English but the description in French? TED translates notice titles into all EU languages; descriptions stay in the buyer's language.

Why do some notices have no value? Many buyers don't publish one. Use includeWithoutValue to keep or drop them when filtering by value.

Why did my run return no notices? The status message says why: nothing new since the last run (with onlyNew), every match already past its deadline (with openOnly), nothing above your minValueEur, or no matches at all. Try more publishedWithinDays, fewer filters or a broader parent CPV code (e.g. 72000000 instead of 72212000). The SUMMARY record shows the exact TED query that was run.

How do I get only tenders I can still bid on? Keep the defaults: noticeTypes: ["competition"] and openOnly: true. Calls whose lots have all passed their deadline (UTC, judged by latestDeadline) are skipped for free; a multi-lot call with one lot still open is kept, so check deadline and latestDeadline. A date-only deadline counts as open through that day. Notices with no deadline are kept, so check deadline on those. Set openOnly: false to get closed calls too.

Where is the contract value on award notices? In awardedValue and awardedValueEur. estimatedValue is only the buyer's estimate, which award notices usually leave empty. For framework agreements the awarded total is often the framework maximum, not the amount actually spent.

Can I search in several languages? Yes. Add translations to keywords, e.g. cybersecurity, cybersécurité, Cybersicherheit.

Dates, time zones and currency

• deadline is ISO 8601 in UTC (Z). Buyers set deadlines in local time, so a Swedish deadline of 23:59 CET shows as 22:59:00Z.
• publicationDate is the TED publication date (calendar date, no time zone). scrapedAt is UTC.
• currency is the ISO 4217 code of estimatedValue as the buyer published it (e.g. EUR, SEK, PLN). estimatedValueEur is the same value converted to euros. awardedCurrency and awardedValueEur work the same way for awardedValue.
• openOnly compares latestDeadline (the last lot deadline) with the current UTC time when the run starts.

Other languages and regions

Covers buyers in the EU 27, the EEA and other countries that publish on TED. Keywords work in any language; titles are in English where TED provides them.

Also searched as: Ausschreibungen, öffentliche Vergabe (DE) · appels d'offres, marchés publics (FR) · licitaciones, contratación pública (ES) · gare d'appalto (IT) · przetargi (PL) · aanbestedingen (NL) · licitações, contratos públicos (PT) · upphandlingar (SV) · udbud (DA) · kilpailutukset (FI).

Limits

• At most 50,000 notices are scanned per run (narrow the filters for bigger backfills); publishedWithinDays goes back 90 days.
• Values in non-EUR currencies are converted with the ECB reference rate of the run day; if the ECB rate is unavailable, estimatedValueEur and awardedValueEur are null.
• Notice data is as published by the buyers on TED; corrections appear as new notices.
