EU Public Tenders Scraper (TED): contract notices, CPV & buyer data

Find EU public procurement tenders from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official EU journal for public contracts, without logging in or clicking through the TED website. You choose countries, CPV codes, keywords, notice types and a minimum contract value, and you get one clean, flat row per notice: buyer organisation, CPV codes, estimated value, tender deadline, procedure type and direct links. You can export it as CSV, Excel or JSON, or connect it to your CRM, Google Sheets or Slack.

The data comes from the official TED Search API (anonymous public API of the Publications Office of the EU). There is no HTML scraping and no browser, so runs are fast and cheap.

What you can use it for

• Bid / tender monitoring: run a daily scheduled search for new contract notices in your CPV codes and countries, and send them to your sales team.
• Lead generation for B2G sales: build lists of public buyers (ministries, hospitals, municipalities, utilities) that are buying what you sell.
• Market sizing: see how many tenders, and of what estimated value, are published per country or CPV category.
• Competitive intelligence: pull contract award notices (can-standard) to see which buyers awarded contracts in your sector.
• Consultants & bid writers: watch big-ticket opportunities (e.g. above €1M) across all EU/EEA countries.

Input

Field	Description
daysBack / dateFrom / dateTo	Publication date window (default: last 7 days).
countries	Buyer countries, ISO 2- or 3-letter codes (DE, FRA, IE ...). Empty = all.
cpvCodes	CPV codes. Trailing zeros match the whole family: 72000000 = all IT services, 45 = all construction works.
keywords	Full-text keywords/phrases (any must match), e.g. cybersecurity, cloud computing.
noticeTypes	Default: open contract notices (cn-standard, cn-social). Also prior information notices, contract award notices (can-standard), modifications, etc.
minEstimatedValue + valueCurrency	Only notices with a published procedure value at or above this amount (default currency EUR). Notices without a published value are excluded when this is set.
language	Preferred language for translated titles and buyer names (default English).
maxResults	Stop after this many notices (default 100).

Example:

{
  "daysBack": 7,
  "countries": ["DE", "FR"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
  "noticeTypes": ["cn-standard", "cn-social"],
  "maxResults": 100

  "noticeUrl": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/689128-2026",

}

Notes:

• Not every notice publishes an estimated value or a tender deadline; these fields are null when the buyer did not publish them. If a notice has no procedure-level value but all its lots share one currency, estimatedValue is the sum of the lot values (estimatedValueBasis: "sum of lots").
• tenderDeadline is the earliest lot deadline. Always check the official notice before bidding.

Privacy: no personal data

The Actor requests only organisation-level fields from TED. It never requests or outputs contact person names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers or beneficial-owner data, and it masks any e-mail address or labelled phone number that appears inside a title. You get the buyer organisation, its city, country and public website. To contact a buyer, use the official procurement documents linked from the notice.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.003 per notice returned, plus a small flat start fee per run. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops cleanly when your limit is reached. Example: 100 notices ≈ $0.30 plus the start fee.

Rate limits & reliability

TED's fair-usage limit for the anonymous Search API is 700 requests per minute. This Actor uses at most 2 requests per second by default, fetches up to 100 notices per request, and backs off automatically on HTTP 429/5xx.

FAQ

Does it need a TED account or API key? No. The TED Search API is public and anonymous.

How fresh is the data? TED publishes one new edition every working day (Monday to Friday, by 09:00 CET). Schedule this Actor daily with daysBack: 1 or 2.
