UK & EU Public Tenders: Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, TED

UK & EU Public Tenders: Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and TED in one feed

Get open public-sector tenders from the UK and the EU as clean, structured data: title, buyer, deadline, estimated value, CPV codes and a link to the official notice. Three official sources share one schema. You can filter by keyword, CPV code, country, value and date. Monitoring mode returns only notices you haven't seen before, so a daily schedule becomes a daily tender alert.

Who it's for

• Bid and sales teams who check tender portals every morning and want one list instead of three websites.
• Consultants and analysts tracking public demand in a sector such as IT, construction, health or energy.
• Automations and AI agents that need tenders as JSON: send them to Google Sheets, Slack, n8n, Make or Zapier through Apify integrations, or call the Actor from an agent over Apify's MCP server.

Sources

Source	What it covers	Volume we measured (Nov 2026)
UK Find a Tender (uk-fts)	UK above-threshold procurement, including Procurement Act 2023 tender notices	about 100 new tender notices in 3 days
UK Contracts Finder (uk-cf)	Lower-value public contracts in England	a few a day
EU TED (eu-ted)	Tenders Electronic Daily, the EU's official procurement journal	about 2,000 opportunity notices per weekday

All three are official open-data APIs, so there is no scraping of web pages and nothing breaks when a site's layout changes.

How to use it

Default run ({}): the newest 100 open notices from all three sources, published in the last 3 days.

IT services in Germany and France worth at least €100,000:

{ "sources": ["eu-ted"], "countries": ["DEU", "FRA"], "cpvPrefixes": ["72"], "minValue": 100000 }

Daily UK construction alert. Save this as a task and add a daily schedule:

{ "sources": ["uk-fts", "uk-cf"], "cpvPrefixes": ["45"], "publishedWithinDays": 2, "onlyNew": true, "monitorName": "uk-construction" }

Keyword search across everything:

{ "keywords": ["cyber security", "penetration testing"], "publishedWithinDays": 7 }

Input

Field	What it does	Default
sources	Any of uk-fts, uk-cf, eu-ted	all three
keywords	Keep notices that mention any keyword. UK: title and description. TED: full notice text, via TED's own search.	none
cpvPrefixes	CPV code prefixes, e.g. 72 (IT services) or 45 (construction)	none
countries	Buyer country, ISO 3-letter codes such as GBR, DEU, FRA	all
publishedWithinDays	How far back to look, 1–30 days	3
openOnly	Drop notices whose deadline has passed	true
minValue	Drop notices with a known estimated value below this number. Unknown values are kept, and currencies are not converted.	none
maxItems	Maximum results per run, shared fairly across the selected sources, so TED's volume can't crowd out the UK	100
onlyNew	Monitoring mode: return only notices not returned by earlier runs	false
monitorName	Keeps separate monitors apart (letters, digits, hyphens)	default

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.00 per 1,000 notices ($0.002 each). There is no start fee, and you pay only for notices returned. A daily alert that returns about 20 new notices a day costs about $1.20 a month.

Monitoring mode

With onlyNew: true, the Actor remembers the notices it has returned, in a named key-value store called uk-eu-tenders-<monitorName> in your account. Later runs skip those notices. The first run returns everything in the window, and after that you get only what's new. Use a different monitorName for each saved search, so that two alerts never hide each other's notices. A run that finds nothing new succeeds with the status message "No new notices since the last run."

FAQ

Can I reuse this data commercially? UK notices are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. TED notices may be reused for commercial or non-commercial purposes under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU. Both require attribution, so every result carries a licence and an attribution field.

Why are there no contact names or email addresses? Notices name individual officials. This Actor outputs organisation-level data only, and it replaces any email address found in a description with [email removed]. Contact details for bidders are on the official notice behind url.

Why are TED dates plain dates and UK dates timestamps? That's how each source publishes them. publishedAt and deadlineAt start with YYYY-MM-DD in both cases, so they sort and filter the same way.

Why can a UK run take a few minutes? Find a Tender rate-limits API clients. When it answers "too many requests", the Actor waits the time the server asks for, which is about two minutes, and then continues. You aren't charged for waiting.

Does minValue convert currencies? No. It compares the published number, whether that's GBP, EUR, PLN or something else. Pair it with countries when the currency matters.

A source was down. Do I lose the run? No. The other sources still return their results, and the run's status message names the source that was unavailable. The run fails only if every selected source fails.
