Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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. ### What data does it return? ```json { "id": "ted-award:449210-2026", "source": "ted-award", "title": "Poland - Laboratory, optical and precision equipment - Purchase and delivery of spectrometers", "buyer": "Uniwersytet Warszawski", "country": "POL", "cpv_codes": ["38000000", "38433000", "42300000"], "notice_type": "can-standard", "publication_date": "2026-07-01", "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/449210-2026", "winners": ["SHIM-POL A.M. Borzymowski", "SPECTRO-LAB Sp. z o.o", "VERDER POLSKA"], "winner_countries": ["POL"], "award_value": 310562.33, "currency": "PLN", "num_bids": 16 } ```` ### How to use it Example input, all fields optional: ```json { "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](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) 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. ### Related Fetchwerk actors All Fetchwerk procurement actors share a normalized output schema, so you can merge them into one pipeline: - **[EU Tenders Scraper](https://apify.com/fetchwerk/eu-tenders-scraper)**: the opportunities side. EU-wide open calls from TED plus Dutch tenders from TenderNed. - **[German Tenders Scraper](https://apify.com/fetchwerk/de-tenders-scraper)**: German national and below-threshold tenders from the official oeffentlichevergabe.de service. - **[UK Tenders Scraper](https://apify.com/fetchwerk/uk-tenders-scraper)**: UK public contracts from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, which left TED after Brexit. *** Built and operated by **Fetchwerk**. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Case-insensitive match on title, buyer and winner names. Empty = no keyword filter. ## `cpvCodes` (type: `array`): CPV classification codes, e.g. 72000000 (IT services). Filtered server-side on TED. ## `buyerCountries` (type: `array`): ISO-3 codes, e.g. NLD, DEU, BEL. Empty = all of the EU. ## `winners` (type: `array`): Only keep awards won by a company whose name contains one of these (competitor tracking). Empty = all winners. ## `minValue` (type: `integer`): Only awards with a total value at or above this amount. Awards without a published value are dropped when set. ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): Only award notices published in the last N days. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on returned awards (also caps your cost). ## `mode` (type: `string`): search = dataset only; digest = dataset + markdown digest in key-value store (key DIGEST). ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [], "cpvCodes": [], "buyerCountries": [], "winners": [], "minValue": 0, "daysBack": 30, "maxItems": 200, "mode": "search" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
