EU Contract Award Radar (TED)

This EU contract award radar tracks who wins European public contracts. It reads contract-award notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily, the official EU procurement journal) and returns, for every awarded contract, the winner, the contract value, the number of bidders and the buyer. Filter by CPV, country, winner name and minimum value. No API keys, no login, no personal-data scraping beyond the winners that the EU itself publishes.

Tenders vs awards: this is the other side

Most tender scrapers show you open calls (opportunities to bid). This actor shows you the results: which company won, for how much, and against how many competitors. That makes it a sales-intelligence and market-research tool rather than a bid-finding tool.

• Competitor tracking: follow a specific company and see every public contract it wins across the EU.
• Market sizing: aggregate award values by CPV, country or buyer to see who spends what.
• Lead signals: a winner is a company that just secured budget and often needs subcontractors; a losing bidder is a buyer with proven demand.

Pairs cleanly with our EU Tenders Scraper (open calls) on the same TED source.

How to use it

Example input, all fields optional:

{
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
  "buyerCountries": ["NLD", "DEU"],
  "winners": ["Accenture", "Capgemini"],
  "minValue": 100000,
  "daysBack": 30,
  "maxItems": 200,
  "mode": "digest"
}

• cpvCodes: CPV codes, filtered server-side on TED (e.g. 72000000 for IT services).
• buyerCountries: ISO-3 codes. Empty for all of the EU.
• winners: keep only awards won by a company whose name contains one of these. Ideal for competitor tracking.
• minValue: only awards at or above this contract value. Awards without a published value are dropped when this is set.
• daysBack: publication window, 1 to 90 days.
• mode: search returns the dataset; digest also writes a ready-to-send markdown summary (grouped by country, with winner and value) to the key-value store under the key DIGEST.

Award monitoring and alerts

Run the actor on a weekly schedule in digest mode and connect an Apify integration (Slack, email, webhook, Make, Zapier) to deliver the DIGEST wherever your team works. Set winners to your competitors to get a weekly "who won what" briefing.

FAQ

Is this allowed? Yes. TED is the official EU procurement journal and publishes contract-award notices, including winners and values, as open government data. This actor uses the public, documented TED Search API v3.

Are winner names personal data? Winners are organizations. In the rare case a winner is a sole proprietor, the name is published by the EU itself in the official award notice. No private-individual data is added.

How does pricing work? Pay per event: a small fee per returned award record, and a flat fee per generated digest. maxItems caps your cost per run.

Can I combine it with open tenders? Yes. It shares TED as a source with our EU Tenders Scraper, so opportunities and awards line up on the same buyers and CPV codes.
