EU Legal & Procurement Search

Search 4 EU legal and procurement data sources in one query — EUR-Lex regulations, EUR-Lex directives, TED procurement notices, and TED contract awards.

• ✅ Search 4 EU legal and procurement sources across legislation, tender discovery, and contract-award tracking
• ✅ Get CELEX-numbered EU legal documents plus TED procurement notices and award records in one workflow
• ✅ Covers 2 EUR-Lex legal sources and 2 TED procurement sources
• ✅ Export results as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or connect it to Apify MCP, API, Make, n8n, and Zapier
• ✅ Current Apify listing is pay per usage, so you can start with small runs and expand only when the workflow proves useful

EU legal and procurement research usually means switching between separate systems. EUR-Lex is where you look for regulations and directives. TED is where you track procurement notices and contract awards. If you are monitoring a policy topic, vendor category, procurement market, or compliance issue, that split slows down basic discovery work. This Actor turns those public EU sources into one searchable dataset you can export or automate.

What you can do with it

1. Search EUR-Lex regulations by topic, keyword, or CELEX number

When you need binding EU rules, regulations are often the first place to look. A compliance or legal workflow may start with a topic like energy efficiency, medical devices, AI, or digital services, then expand into the specific regulation texts and identifiers behind that topic.

This Actor lets you search the active EUR-Lex regulations source directly from the same workflow you use for procurement tracking.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	GDPR, energy performance, AI Act, or a CELEX number
Categories	Legal only
How many results	20 per source

What you get back:

Source	Example fields
EUR-Lex Regulations	Title, CELEX number, publication date, status, document metadata

This is useful for legal research, compliance mapping, policy monitoring, and internal knowledge workflows where one search term needs to resolve to the actual EU regulation records behind it.

---

2. Search EUR-Lex directives that member states must transpose

Directives are different from regulations, and that distinction matters in practice. If you are tracking EU obligations that still need national implementation, or you want to understand where a compliance theme originates, directive search is often the right layer.

This Actor includes a separate EUR-Lex directives source, so you do not have to mix everything into one undifferentiated legal search result.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	renewable energy, packaging, public procurement, or a directive number
Categories	Legal only
How many results	20 per source

What you get back:

Source	Example fields
EUR-Lex Directives	Directive title, CELEX number, publication date, document status, legal metadata

This is useful for regulatory monitoring, legal analysis, public-sector advisory work, and EU policy research where you need directive-level records rather than only regulations.

---

3. Find EU public procurement notices on TED

If your workflow starts with opportunity discovery, TED procurement notices are usually the operational source you need. This is where you search for live or recent public-sector buying opportunities by keyword, buyer, category, or topic.

The Actor includes a TED procurement-notice source, which makes it easier to monitor sectors like energy, transport, healthcare, construction, software, or consulting without opening the TED interface manually for every search.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	medical devices, cybersecurity, rail, consulting
Categories	Procurement only
How many results	20 per source

What you get back:

Source	Example fields
TED Procurement Search	Buyer name, notice title, country, procedure metadata, deadline, contract value when available

This is useful for bid discovery, market scanning, vendor intelligence, sector monitoring, and AI workflows that need one searchable layer across EU tender opportunities.

---

4. Track TED contract awards to see who won and where spending went

Procurement workflows do not end at tender discovery. Many teams also need award-side visibility: who won, what category was awarded, which country or buyer published the result, and how the market is moving over time.

This Actor includes a TED contract-awards source so you can search the award layer separately from the notice layer.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	software, facilities management, defence, energy
Categories	Procurement only
How many results	20 per source

What you get back:

Source	Example fields
TED Contract Awards	Buyer, award title, country, award metadata, contract amount when available, publication details

This is useful for competitive intelligence, procurement-market research, sales targeting, award tracking, and internal dashboards that need public contract-award records.

---

5. Use one Actor for combined legal and procurement discovery

Some workflows need both sides at once. You may want to search a policy theme like energy, medical devices, or digital services and see both the legal-document side and the procurement-market side in one run.

That is where this Actor is strongest. Instead of teaching your assistant or automation how to query EUR-Lex and TED separately, you can use one Actor as the search layer.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	energy
Categories	Legal + procurement
How many results	20 per source

What your assistant or automation gets back:

Source family	Returned data
EUR-Lex	Regulation and directive records with CELEX and document metadata
TED	Procurement notices and contract awards with buyer, country, and procurement metadata

This is useful for cross-functional monitoring, EU public-market intelligence, policy-to-market research, and AI assistants that need one entry point across EU legal and procurement discovery.

How to use (no code required)

1. Click "Try for Free" at the top of this page
2. Type one or more search terms — legal topics, CELEX identifiers, sectors, procurement categories, or buyer-related keywords
3. Choose whether to search:
   • EUR-Lex legal documents
   • TED procurement records
   • both together
4. Set how many results you want per source
5. Click Start — the Actor queries the enabled EU legal and procurement sources and returns the results in the Dataset tab

You can then export the results as Excel, CSV, or JSON.

Because this Actor is listed as pay per usage, it is easy to begin with a small exploratory run, check whether the legal and procurement mix fits your workflow, and then scale from there.

---

What you get back

Each result comes back as one dataset row. The exact columns vary by source, because a EUR-Lex legal document and a TED procurement record do not use the same schema.

Across the dataset, you will typically see:

• name
• type
• status
• country
• authority
• _product_id
• _source
• _search_term
• _collected_at

Then source-specific fields such as:

• EUR-Lex: title, CELEX number, document date, legal-document metadata
• TED notices: buyer, title, country, tender metadata, deadlines, amounts when available
• TED awards: buyer, award title, country, award metadata, award amounts when available

Every row keeps the source label and matched search term, so it is easy to split legal records from procurement records, filter by authority, or feed the results into downstream research and automation workflows.

Coverage

This Actor currently searches 4 active EU legal and procurement sources:

Category	Count	Coverage
EUR-Lex legal	2	Regulations and directives
TED procurement	2	Procurement notices and contract awards

The current active maps in the Actor are:

• 2 EUR-Lex legal sources
• 2 TED procurement sources

That matters because this Actor is not a full EU legal research platform and not a full procurement-management suite. It is a combined public-data discovery layer across EUR-Lex and TED.

Pricing

This Actor is currently listed on Apify as pay per usage.

The safest place to confirm the live commercial terms is the pricing tab:

• https://apify.com/lentic_clockss/sip-eu-legal-procurement-search/pricing

If you want to keep runs small, the easiest approach is to:

• search only legal or procurement when you do not need both
• start with one or two search terms
• lower maxResultsPerSource for exploratory runs
