Government Tenders Scraper – UK, EU TED & Canada Bids

Find open public-sector tenders from four official government portals in one unified JSON/CSV format: 🇬🇧 UK Contracts Finder, 🇬🇧 UK Find a Tender, 🇪🇺 EU TED (all EU/EEA member states) and 🇨🇦 CanadaBuys. You can filter by keyword, CPV / UNSPSC code, EU country and publication date. Every notice includes a submission deadline and days left. Turn on only-new mode to get daily alerts.

All data comes from the official open-data APIs. There is no scraping of HTML, no login and no proxy.

FAQ

Does the keyword filter search all languages? On TED it uses full-text search across the notice. UK and Canada notices are matched against the English title and description. Why few UK results? UK portals publish around 50–300 notices a day. Use a larger days value or fewer filters.
