Public Tenders Monitor: EU TED, UK & Brazil Government Bids

Get open government tenders from 30+ countries in one clean table. This Actor reads four official public-procurement sources and normalizes them into the same columns:

• EU TED (Tenders Electronic Daily): all EU/EEA contract notices above EU thresholds, searchable in every language
• UK Find a Tender: UK public-sector opportunities (including below-threshold under the Procurement Act)
• UK Contracts Finder: UK lower-value opportunities
• Brazil PNCP: every federal, state and municipal "licitação" (pregão, concorrência...)

No API keys, no logins, no browser. All four are official open-data APIs. Competitively priced: you pay only for tenders saved after your filters.

Try it in under a minute

1. Keep the default sample (keywords: ["software"], last 3 days, all four sources, only still-open) or add your own keywords / countries / CPV prefixes.
2. Click Start, then open Dataset → Overview for title, buyer, country, value, deadline, source and link.
3. Export JSON, CSV or Excel, or connect Make / Zapier / n8n / the API.
4. For daily bid alerts: turn on Only tenders not seen before, sort by deadline, and schedule the Actor once a day.

Who uses it

• B2B companies that sell to government (IT, cleaning, construction, consulting, medical supplies): daily bid alerts across markets.
• Bid writers and tender consultants: one feed for several clients and countries.
• Market researchers and analysts: public-spend trends by sector (CPV) and country.
• Sales teams: buyers' names, and for UK notices buyer contact emails, for relationship building.

Features

• Keywords (any match) and exclude keywords. TED runs a server-side full-text search in all languages; tip: add local words like "limpeza" or "Reinigung".
• Country filter for TED, state (UF) and procurement type filter for Brazil.
• CPV prefix filter (e.g. 72 = IT services, 48 = software, 45 = construction).
• Value range (in the notice's currency) and only still-open tenders (default on).
• Sort by newest, closest deadline, or highest value, applied before your cap.
• Monitor mode: only tenders you have not seen before. Schedule daily for bid alerts by email, Slack or webhook.
• One normalized schema: title, buyer, country, value, currency, published date, deadline, days left, procedure, CPV codes, contacts, official link.
• No duplicates: one row per notice id.

Data sources and licences

• EU TED: © European Union, reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU. Source: ted.europa.eu.

• Brazil PNCP: public information under Lei 14.133/2021 (PNCP open-data API).

FAQ

Why are some values empty? Many notices don't publish an estimated value, and Brazil doesn't use CPV codes. Empty is always null.

Why is a Brazil warning shown? PNCP publishes thousands of pregões per day. The Actor reads the newest 3,000 per procurement type; add states (UF) or shorten the window for full coverage.

Are TED titles translated? TED provides an English summary title ("Country – CPV – original title"); the original-language text stays in the title and description.
