## Pricing

from $0.96 / 1,000 notices

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## TenderNed Scraper: Netherlands Tenders (Aanbestedingen)

**Dutch public procurement notices from TenderNed: contract notices, awards and market consultations with buyer, CPV, closing date and procedure. $1.20 per 1,000 notices.**

Use this TenderNed API alternative to scrape Dutch public procurement notices from the official Netherlands tender platform. Search aanbestedingen by buyer, CPV code or keyword and export notices to CSV.

TenderNed is the Dutch government's official tender platform, where national, provincial and municipal buyers publish their contract notices and awards, both European and national.

### Quick start

1. Press **Start**. The form is already filled with this example input, so the first run returns real rows in under a minute:

```json
{
  "maxResults": 50
}
```

2. Swap in your own values, or call the Actor through the Apify API, Make, Zapier, n8n or the Python/JS clients with the same JSON.
3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel from the **Output** tab, or schedule the run to repeat.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** From the public TenderNed publications API (tenderned.nl/papi), free and without registration.

**Is any personal data included?** Buyers are public bodies. Contact persons, e-mails and phones are never output, and contact details are removed from descriptions.

**How fresh is it?** Live. TenderNed publishes new notices every working day.

**Can I get only new records each day?** Yes. Use the date window input and schedule the Actor; each run returns what is new in that window.

**Can I get TenderNed notices without an API key?**
Yes. No TenderNed API key is required.

**How do I find Dutch tenders by buyer and CPV code?**
Use `buyerNames` for buyer names and `cpvCodes` for eight-digit CPV codes. Set `openForBidsOnly` to keep notices whose closing date is today or later.

**Can I export TenderNed notices to CSV or Google Sheets?**
Yes. Download the dataset as CSV or connect it to Google Sheets through Make, Zapier or n8n.

**Can an AI assistant search TenderNed with MCP?**
Yes. Connect it through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=mrslm_data/netherlands-tenderned-tenders).

**How much does a run saving 1,000 TenderNed notices cost?**
On Free/Bronze pricing, 1,000 saved notices cost $1.20, plus the $0.00005 start fee, for $1.20005. Filtered-out notices are not charged.

### Is it legal?

This Actor only reads official open-data APIs that the publisher offers to everyone without a login or key. It obeys robots.txt, stays under the published rate limits, and never tries to get past logins, paywalls, captchas or bot checks. Buyers are public bodies. Contact persons, e-mails and phones are never output, and contact details are removed from descriptions. You are responsible for how you use the data: follow the source's licence and terms and the privacy and marketing laws that apply to you (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, PECR, etc.). This tool is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the data publisher.
