EU Tenders (TED) Scraper — Public Procurement Notices

Pull EU public-procurement tenders from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — the official EU journal of contract notices and awards. Filter by CPV code, country, keyword, notice type and date, and get one clean row per notice: buyer, title, value, currency, CPV, deadline, country and links to the notice, PDF and XML. Runs on TED's official open API — no key, no browser.

Why use this scraper

• The official source — reads TED's own v3 API (api.ted.europa.eu), so the data is complete and authoritative across all EU member states.
• Powerful filtering — CPV product/service codes, buyer country, full-text keywords, notice type, and publication date range — or paste a raw TED expert query for total control.
• Drains the full result set — token-based pagination pages past the web UI's limits; set maxItems: 0 to pull everything that matches.
• Clean, English-first output — multilingual titles/buyers resolved to English where available, one row per notice, JSON or CSV.
• No key, no browser, no anti-bot — plain HTTP against an open government API. Fast and cheap.

Supported inputs

Use cases

• Bid discovery — find live tenders in your sector/country to bid on.
• Competitive intelligence — track contract awards (who won, how much) in a market.
• Lead generation — build a list of public-sector buyers by category and geography.
• Market sizing — aggregate tender values by CPV, country or time.

How it works

1. Your filters are composed into a TED expert query (or your raw query is used as-is).
2. The actor calls TED's official /v3/notices/search API and pages through results with token pagination.
3. Each notice is mapped to a flat, English-first row and pushed to the dataset.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Query the official EU public-procurement register (TED) and return structured tender notices. No key, no browser.

Minimal input (tested):

{ "cpvCodes": ["72000000"], "countries": ["DEU"], "publishedAfter": "2026-01-01", "maxItems": 50 }

Output fields (flat): publicationNumber, title, noticeType, formType, buyerName, buyerCountry, publicationDate, deadlineDate, totalValue, currency, cpvCodes[], contractNature, placeOfPerformance[], noticeUrl, pdfUrl, xmlUrl, htmlUrl.

Behaviors agents should know:

• Filters (cpvCodes, countries, noticeTypes, keywords, date bounds) are AND-combined; multiple values within one filter are OR'd. expertQuery overrides them with raw TED syntax.
• noticeType distinguishes calls for tenders (cn-standard) from awards (can-standard).
• Multilingual titles/buyers are resolved to English when available.
• Billing is per notice row plus one apify-actor-start per run. Cap with maxItems.
