Romanian Public Tenders (TED)

Search public procurement notices published in the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) for Romanian buyers (or any other country) and get clean, structured records: title, buyer, CPV codes, notice type, estimated value, deadline and the link to the notice. Data comes straight from the official TED API.

Free while in beta. From November 2026: $0.005 per notice.

What you can use it for

• Bid finders and consultants: a daily list of new Romanian tenders in your CPV codes, with deadline and value.
• B2B sales: find which public buyers are buying what you sell, and when their contracts are awarded.
• Market research: count and size tenders by buyer, sector or period.
• AI agents: give an agent reliable procurement facts instead of scraped guesses.

  "cpvCodes": ["72*"],
  "countries": ["ROU"],
  "noticeTypes": ["cn-standard"],
  "publishedWithinDays": 30,

}

• keywords: words or phrases searched in the notice text; a notice matches if it contains any of them. Empty = no keyword filter.
• cpvCodes (optional): CPV codes, any match counts. End with * for a whole branch (72* = IT services).
• countries: buyer country, 3-letter ISO codes. Default ["ROU"].
• noticeTypes (optional): TED notice-type codes, for example cn-standard (contract notice), can-standard (contract award notice), pin-only (prior information notice). Empty = all.
• publishedWithinDays: default 7. Or set publicationDateFrom / publicationDateTo (YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive), which win over it.
• maxResults: default 100, up to 10,000.

(Illustrative record: the shape is from a real run, individual values are not copied from one notice.)

Fields TED did not publish for a notice are null, never guessed. Notes:

• estimated_value is the procedure's estimated value when TED publishes one (estimated_value_basis: "procedure"). Otherwise it is the sum of the lot values if they all share one currency ("sum_of_lots"), else null.
• deadline is the earliest lot deadline for submitting tenders. Award notices have none.
• language is the notice's original language (ISO 639-2, upper case); title_original / buyer_name are in it, title_en is TED's English title.

Limits

• Up to 10,000 notices per run. The Actor pages through the API (100 per page), waits between requests and retries temporary errors (429 and 5xx) with backoff. A 100-notice run takes a few seconds.
• TED publishes notices above the EU thresholds, plus some below. Small national purchases that are never sent to TED are not here.
• Data is what TED publishes when you ask. No enrichment, nothing stored after the run.

Coming next

Romania's national e-procurement system (SEAP / e-licitatie.ro) also publishes procurement open data on data.gov.ro. If a licence and format check passes, it may be added as a second source for below-threshold national tenders. Not included today, and this Actor does not scrape e-licitatie.ro.
