Public Tender Monitor (EU TED + UK) — new tenders by keyword, CPV & country

Get new public tenders from the European Union and the United Kingdom delivered as clean, structured data — filtered by keyword, CPV code and buyer country, with only what is new since your last run.

Three official sources, one record format:

• TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — the EU's public procurement journal (~2,000 notices every working day from all EU member states plus EEA), via the official Search API.
• UK Contracts Finder — public-sector contracts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, via its public OCDS API.
• UK Find a Tender — above-threshold UK procurement under the Procurement Act 2023, via its public OCDS API.

No scraping, no proxies, no login: results are exactly what the journals publish, normalised into one flat record per notice with an English title, the buyer (with contact e-mail where published), the deadline, the estimated value and direct links to the notice.

Output

One summary record per run and one notice record per tender.

}

The summary record carries the exact TED expert query that was executed (query), the total number of matching notices on TED, how many were new, and a one-sentence llmSummary.

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read it via the API.

Why use it

• Win more bids — be the first to see calls for competition in your niche (e.g. "cloud" + CPV 72* + Germany) instead of browsing TED by hand.
• Sales intelligence — public buyers announce budgets months ahead. A tender for "SaaS HR system" is a qualified lead for every HR-software vendor.
• Market research — count tenders by country / CPV division over time.
• AI agents & workflows — schedule it daily, connect the dataset to Slack, email, Google Sheets, Make/n8n or your CRM, or call it as an MCP tool and let an agent read the llmSummary.

How it works

1. Enter keywords (full-text, any language), CPV codes (with * prefix wildcards) and/or buyer countries (ISO alpha-3).
2. Choose the look-back window (daysBack, default 7) and notice types (default: contract notices — calls for competition).
3. Run. The first run captures a baseline (everything in the window). Every later run with the same filters returns only notices not returned before (change: "new"). Memory lives in a named key-value store, so schedules work out of the box.

Input

{
  "keywords": ["cloud", "software as a service"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72*", "48*"],
  "countries": ["DEU", "NLD"],
  "noticeTypes": ["cn-standard", "cn-social", "cn-desg"],
  "daysBack": 7,
  "sinceLastRun": true,
  "maxNotices": 500,
  "includeDescription": true
}

Field	Default	Meaning
sources	all three	ted, uk-contracts-finder, uk-find-a-tender. UK sources are skipped automatically if countries excludes GBR.
keywords	—	Full-text search terms; a notice matching any keyword qualifies. Phrases allowed. (TED: server-side full text; UK: title, description and lot titles.)
cpvCodes	—	CPV codes; 72* matches every code starting with 72 (IT services), 48* software, 45* construction, 79* business services, 85* health.
countries	—	Buyer country codes: DEU, FRA, NLD, ESP, ITA, POL, SWE, BEL, AUT, IRL, DNK, FIN, PRT, CZE, ROU, NOR …
noticeTypes	contract notices	TED notice types. pin-* = prior information notices, can-* = contract award notices, cn-* = calls for competition.
daysBack	7	Publication window.
sinceLastRun	true	Emit only notices not seen before for the same filters.
maxNotices	500	Safety cap per run (TED returns up to 250 per page; the Actor pages automatically).
includeDescription	true	Add up to 1,500 characters of the procedure/lot description (original language).
stateStoreName	tender-monitor-state	Where the "already seen" memory is kept.

At least one of keywords, cpvCodes, countries is required.

Monitor mode, watchlists and the free first run

All handa-labs monitors share the same controls:

Field	Default	Meaning
mode	monitor	monitor remembers what was returned and emits only changes on later runs; snapshot returns everything matching on every run
watchlistId	default	label for this watchlist; runs with the same ID share memory, different IDs are independent
emitBaseline	false	the first monitor run establishes a free baseline (only the Actor-start fee) and returns counts; set true to also receive, and pay for, every current item on that first run

Schedule the Actor with the same input and you get a clean change feed. Nothing is charged for records on the first run unless you ask for them.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: a small fee per run plus a fee per notice returned. Because only new notices are returned on scheduled runs, a daily watch on a focused query typically costs a few cents per day.

Notes

• Source: TED — Tenders Electronic Daily, official Search API v3. TED data may be reused free of charge under the EU's reuse policy; keep the notice links when you republish.
• Titles come from TED's multilingual title field; English is preferred when available (it usually is, in the form "Country – CPV description – original title").
• Contract award notices (can-*) include winners; prior information notices (pin-*) announce future procurement. Add them to noticeTypes if you need them.
• Want US federal (SAM.gov), UK (Contracts Finder / Find a Tender) or other sources in the same feed? Open an issue on the Actor page — they are on the roadmap.
