TED Europe Tenders – EU public procurement scraper for all 30 EU and EEA countries

TED Europe Tenders collects public procurement contract notices (tenders) for all 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway from the official TED Search API (Tenders Electronic Daily). Every tender becomes one clean, structured row: buyer, CPV code with a plain-English label, contract type, place of performance, estimated value, tender deadline with days left, and direct links to the procurement documents, the submission page and the notice PDF/XML. It is made for bid teams, suppliers and analysts who want a daily or weekly list of new tenders, filtered by country, CPV code, keyword or contract type. With Only new tenders switched on, scheduled runs return only what you have not received before. The easiest way to try it: open the Actor and click Start. The default input fetches tenders from Germany and France published in the last 7 days (max 100), and users on Apify's free plan get up to 50 tenders per run.

Why bid teams use it

• All 30 EU/EEA countries in one feed, straight from the official TED Search API. No TED account, no API key and no proxies needed.
• Ready to act on: plain-English CPV labels, days left to the deadline, estimated value, and direct links to the procurement documents and the submission page.
• Daily tender alerts without duplicates: with onlyNew, each tender is returned and billed once per filter.
• Simple pricing: $3.00 per 1,000 tenders, no start fee, and nothing to pay when a run finds no tenders.
• Personal data minimised: contact names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers are removed before the data reaches you.

Only need the Nordic countries? TED Nordic Tenders has the same fields with Sweden as the default.

Use cases

• Bid discovery: every morning, get new calls for tender in your CPV codes and countries, with deadlines and document links.
• B2G sales leads: see which public buyers are purchasing what, and at what estimated value, and feed it into your CRM or sales pipeline.
• Tender alerts in Slack, e-mail or Teams: combine a daily schedule with Make, Zapier or n8n.
• Market analysis: compare tender volumes by country, CPV sector, contract type or procedure over time.
• AI agents and LLM pipelines: let an assistant find, filter and summarise relevant tenders (see "Use it with AI agents" below).
• Pay-as-you-go tender monitoring: for small firms that follow a few sectors and don't want a tender-portal subscription.

Example: new construction tenders in Google Sheets every morning

A construction company in Germany that also works in Austria wants to know every morning which authorities have published new building contracts. They set countries to ["DE", "AT"], cpvCodes to ["45000000"] (construction work) and switch on onlyNew. The Actor runs on a daily schedule and is connected to Google Sheets. Each morning the sheet gets new rows only, with the buyer, title, estimated value, days left until the deadline, and links to the documents and the submission page. Tenders that were already delivered yesterday are not returned and not billed again.

How to use TED Europe Tenders

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and choose the buyer countries. Leave the field empty for all 30 EU/EEA countries.
2. Pick the publication period (last day, 7 days, 30 days or custom dates). Optional: add CPV codes, a keyword, a contract type or switch on Only open tenders.
3. For scheduled runs, switch on Only new tenders since the last run.
4. Set maxResults and click Start.
5. Open the Output tab to view the tenders as a table, or download them as JSON, CSV or Excel. You can also read them through the Apify API.

How much does it cost to scrape TED tenders?

The Actor uses pay per event pricing: $3.00 per 1,000 tender notices ($0.003 per saved row), with no start fee and no charge for runs that find nothing. One tender row saved equals one billed event.

Example: a run that saves 1,000 tenders costs $3.00. A run that saves 100 tenders (the default maximum) costs $0.30, and a daily onlyNew run that finds 20 new tenders costs $0.06.

Typical setup	Tenders saved	Cost
One test run with the default input	up to 100	up to $0.30
Daily alert for construction (CPV 45000000) in Germany and Austria, as in the example above (3,070 tenders in the 30 days to 27 Oct 2026)	about 3,100 a month	about $9.20 a month
Weekly pull of all EU/EEA construction tenders, CPV 45000000 (1,766 in the week 21–27 Oct 2026)	about 7,600 a month	about $23 a month
One-off export of 10,000 tenders	10,000	$30.00

The figures are examples. You pay only for the tenders that are actually saved, and you can cap the cost of any run with Maximum cost per run in the run options.

Free plan: users on Apify's free plan get at most 50 tenders per run. For plans and platform credits, see Apify pricing.

No double billing with onlyNew: with the same filters, a tender is returned and billed once. Later runs skip it.

Schedule it and connect it

• Schedule: run the Actor every day or week with Apify schedules. For a daily list, combine the schedule with onlyNew.
• API: start runs and read the dataset through the Apify API.
• Integrations: send new rows to other tools through Apify integrations, for example Make, Zapier, n8n or Slack.
• Google Sheets: use the Actor Google Sheets Import & Export to write the dataset to a spreadsheet.
• Export: download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Use it from your code: cURL, Python and JavaScript

You can start TED Europe Tenders and read the results through the Apify API. Get your API token in Apify Console under Settings → API & Integrations and set it as the environment variable APIFY_TOKEN. The snippets below were run against this Actor on 28 October 2026.

cURL: start a run, wait for it and get the rows in one request. The synchronous endpoint waits up to 5 minutes, so use it for small and medium runs.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/madeform~ted-europe-tenders/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"countries":["DE","AT"],"cpvCodes":["45000000"],"datePreset":"last7d","maxResults":50}'

Python (pip install apify-client, tested with version 3.4):

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("madeform/ted-europe-tenders").call(run_input={
    "countries": ["SE", "DK"],
    "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
    "datePreset": "last30d",
    "maxResults": 50,
})
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item["publicationNumber"], item["buyerName"], item["tenderDeadline"])

With apify-client 1.x or 2.x, call() returns a dict: use run["defaultDatasetId"] instead of run.default_dataset_id.

JavaScript / TypeScript (npm install apify-client, tested with version 2.25):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('madeform/ted-europe-tenders').call({
    countries: ['SE', 'DK'],
    cpvCodes: ['72000000'],
    datePreset: 'last30d',
    maxResults: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const item of items) console.log(item.publicationNumber, item.buyerName, item.tenderDeadline);

The API tab on this Actor's page has more examples and the full OpenAPI definition.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

TED Europe Tenders also works as a tool for AI assistants and agents through the Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client, and sign in with your Apify account when asked:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=madeform/ted-europe-tenders

Then ask in plain language, for example: "Find open IT services tenders from Sweden and Denmark published in the last 7 days and list them by deadline, with buyer, estimated value and document link." The agent fills in the input (countries, cpvCodes, datePreset, onlyOpen, maxResults), runs the Actor and reads the rows. Agent runs are billed exactly like normal runs, one event per saved row.

FAQ

Is it legal to use TED data?

TED data is published by the Publications Office of the European Union and may be reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU. The Actor modifies the data (see "Data source and licence" below). You are responsible for how you use the output.

How up to date is the data?

Every run fetches the notices live from the TED Search API. The Actor does not keep its own archive, so the result depends on what TED has published for your period at the time of the run. Each row has a retrievedAt timestamp.

Which tenders are covered?

Contract notices published in TED where the buyer is in one of the 30 EU/EEA countries. National procurements below the EU thresholds are usually not included, because they generally do not have to be published in TED. Award notices and winners are not collected, and there are no contact details.

How does "only new" work?

With onlyNew the Actor remembers how far the last run got and returns only tenders published after that point. It stores the last publication date and the publication numbers it has already handled on that date, nothing else, in a key-value store named ted-europe-tenders-state in your own Apify account. The memory is kept per filter: a different combination of countries, CPV codes, keywords, contract types or onlyOpen has its own history, so one schedule does not affect another. The first run with a given filter uses your publication period. After that the period is ignored and the run continues after the last tender delivered, oldest publication day first. If a run stops early (maxResults, the free plan limit or your maximum charge), the next run continues where it ended and skips nothing. To start over, delete the key state-… in that store.

Does the data contain personal data?

The Actor requests only a fixed list of fields and removes e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, personal identity numbers and contact names from free text, in the main EU languages. Notices may still contain personal data, for example names in free text. See "Minimised personal data" below.

How do I filter by CPV code?

Add one or more 8-digit codes to cpvCodes. Matching is by hierarchy prefix, so 45000000 matches all construction codes starting with 45. Each row also carries the English label of every CPV code.

Why are some fields null?

The Actor shows only what the notice states. Many notices have no estimated value, some have no tender deadline in the form TED returns, and not every buyer lists a website or a submission link. A null means the notice did not provide the value.

What do I get on the free plan?

Up to 50 tenders per run. For paid usage see the pricing section above.

Can I see who won a tender?

No. The Actor returns contract notices only, not award notices or winners.

How is this different from searching on TED?

TED's website is made for reading notices one at a time. This Actor turns them into uniform rows with English CPV labels, deadlines in days and direct document links, remembers what you have already received, and sends the result to a spreadsheet, your CRM, an API client or an AI agent on a schedule.

Can I get the tenders in Slack or by e-mail?

Yes. Schedule the Actor with onlyNew and connect the run to Slack, e-mail, Make, Zapier or n8n through Apify integrations. Each new tender then reaches you once.

Can I use it from my own code or an AI agent?

Yes. See "Use it from your code" and "Use it with AI agents (MCP)" above.

Minimised personal data

The Actor is built to keep personal data to a minimum:

• It asks the TED API only for a fixed whitelist of fields. Contact names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, winners and tenderers are never requested, and only contract notices (no award notices) are collected.
• Free text (title, description, buyer name, city, place of performance) is scrubbed of e-mail addresses (including obfuscated forms such as name(at)example.de), telephone numbers and national identity numbers. Names that follow words such as "contact person", "Ansprechpartner", "personne de contact", "persona de contacto", "responsabile del procedimento" or "contactpersoon" are removed as well. Removed parts are replaced by [removed]. Organisation names are kept.
• Links that contain an e-mail address are dropped.
• The only state kept between runs (onlyNew) is a date and publication numbers. It holds no notice data.

Notices may still contain personal data (for example names in free text). You are the controller for your use of the output. Check your legal basis (typically legitimate interest), your information duties under GDPR Art. 14 and your retention period. Do not use the data for direct marketing to individuals.

Data storage: Apify stores datasets in AWS us-east-1 (USA) under Apify's Data Processing Addendum with Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC); see Apify's shared responsibility model. If you need to keep the data in the EU, export it and delete the dataset after the run.
