EU TED CPV Award/Rebid Monitor

A commercial-grade Apify Actor package for procurement intelligence teams monitoring notices published through Tenders Electronic Daily (TED). The monitor filters by CPV code, country, buyer, notice type and search terms, then emits structured deltas instead of forcing users to review raw notice downloads.

Product promise

The Actor is designed for suppliers, procurement consultancies, CROs, systems integrators and public-sector market intelligence teams that need to identify new contract opportunities, awards, amendments, cancellations, reopening signals and rebid-like changes from the EU TED publication stream.

The monitor keeps a durable named baseline in TED_CPV_AWARD_REBID_BASELINES. Baselines are keyed by the effective query configuration so separate monitoring profiles do not overwrite each other. Each run emits only meaningful deltas and one RUN_SUMMARY record.

Core events

Event	Meaning
NEW	A notice is newly observed in the configured result set.
UPDATED	A previously observed notice changed; changes, changedFields, and changeDetails expose old and new values.
NO_LONGER_MATCHES_QUERY	A notice leaves the current result set after previously matching.
RUN_SUMMARY	Counts, query context, baseline key and monitoring metadata for the run.

The monitor also derives a signalType: AWARD, OPPORTUNITY, REBID_OR_AMENDMENT_SIGNAL, or REMOVED_FROM_RESULT_SET. This is a triage signal, not a legal determination that a procurement has been re-tendered.

API and data model

The default endpoint is https://api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search. The official TED Search API provides anonymous access to published procurement notices through POST /v3/notices/search [1]. CPV 2008 is the current classification used to describe procurement subjects and supports hierarchical filtering from divisions through detailed categories [2].

The package tolerates common response envelopes (notices, results, or data) and preserves a normalized notice record with a compact rawHash. For production deployments, validate the exact fields returned by your selected TED API query and pin a tested API contract in your release process.

Recommended starting input

{
  "cpvCodes": ["33600000"],
  "countries": ["DE", "FR", "NL"],
  "noticeTypes": ["can-standard", "can-modification", "cn-standard"],
  "searchTerms": [],
  "lookbackDays": 30,
  "pageSize": 100,
  "maxPages": 5,
  "resetBaseline": false
}

Use resetBaseline: true only for an intentional re-baselining operation. Keep it false for scheduled monitoring. The Actor does not provide legal, bid/no-bid, or award certainty; users should review the official TED notice before relying on a signal.

Deployment

The package is structured for Apify Web IDE or CLI deployment. Install dependencies, run npm run typecheck, build the Actor, configure the input schema, and schedule a daily or twice-daily run. Do not use hourly polling unless you have confirmed that the value justifies the increased API and platform activity.

Commercial packaging

The recommended initial offer is Early Access for procurement intelligence teams. The commercial value is the normalized delta stream, durable baseline, and triage-oriented signal classification—not merely downloading TED records. If using Apify result-based monetization, disclose that cost varies with the number of emitted records. For a fixed per-run price, implement an Apify custom event and charge it once after a successful run instead of pricing every Dataset item.
