DACH IT & Software Tenders — TED Monitor

Find TED-published IT and software procurement opportunities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Every record includes the tender title, buyer, published date, submission deadline, estimated value when available, and a direct TED link.

Start here: DACH IT & Software Tenders is a ready-to-run task with an IT CPV filter already configured. Use it when you want current opportunities without setting up search parameters first.

What you get

• IT and software tenders from the official TED Search API.
• Structured results for bid, sales, and business-development workflows.
• Buyer, DACH country, estimated value when published, deadline, and direct TED URL.
• Optional keyword, CPV, date, and country filters for a narrower search.
• A reliable onlyNew mode for scheduled monitoring: each distinct search configuration keeps its own history.

Common use cases

• Find current DACH IT and software tender opportunities.
• Build a tender feed for a CRM, spreadsheet, dashboard, or notification workflow.
• Monitor a specific service, product, or CPV category for newly published TED notices.
• Export a short-list for a bid or sales team.

Example output

A run returns Dataset records such as:

{
  "noticeId": "639938-2026",
  "title": "Software development services",
  "buyer": "Example contracting authority",
  "country": "DEU",
  "placeOfPerformance": "DE126",
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
  "estimatedValue": 200000,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-17",
  "submissionDeadline": "2026-10-20",
  "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/639938-2026",
  "collectedAt": "2026-09-17T18:04:06.000Z"
}

estimatedValue, currency, and submissionDeadline can be absent when TED does not publish them.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	string	""	Words or a phrase to search for in procurement notices.

cpvCodes	array	[]	Optional CPV codes. Values may contain 2–8 digits and may end in * for a prefix search.
publishedFrom	string	—	Earliest publication date, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
submissionDeadlineFrom	string	—	Earliest submission deadline, in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Custom IT search

{
  "keywords": "software development",
  "countries": ["DE", "AT"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
  "publishedFrom": "2026-09-01",
  "submissionDeadlineFrom": "2026-10-01",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "onlyNew": false
}

Dates must use YYYY-MM-DD. For example, use 2026-09-01, not 01.09.2026.

Monitor new notices

Use onlyNew: true after the first run to receive only notices that are new for the same search configuration.

• The first matching run establishes a baseline and saves returned notice IDs.
• Later runs with the same countries, keywords, CPV codes, and date filters emit only unseen IDs.
• Different search configurations use separate state automatically.
• For most tender searches, a daily or weekly schedule is appropriate.

Start with a small maxItems value and increase it only when needed.

Scope and limitations

• This Actor searches TED-published notices only. It is not a complete index of every national or regional DACH procurement portal.
• Results reflect data returned by the TED Search API at the time of the run.
• The Actor does not download tender documents or submit bids.
• Search language, completeness of values, and deadlines depend on the notice data published in TED.
