EU & UK Public Tenders Scraper: TED, Find a Tender

What does EU & UK Public Tenders Scraper do?

EU & UK Public Tenders Scraper collects public procurement notices (government tenders and contract awards) from three official sources in one run, and returns them in one clean format:

• TED (Tenders Electronic Daily): the EU's official tender journal. It covers all 27 EU countries, plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and others, and adds roughly 3,000 notices every working day.
• Find a Tender (UK): the UK government's service for public contracts.
• Contracts Finder (UK): smaller UK public contracts, mainly in England.

For each notice you get the title, what's being bought, the buyer, the country, CPV category codes, the estimated or awarded value and currency, the deadline, the procedure, and a link to the official notice. Award notices also list the winning companies.

Why use it?

• 🇪🇺🇬🇧 EU and UK in one tool. Search 30+ countries at once instead of running a separate scraper for each portal and gluing the results together.
• 🎯 Filters that matter for bidding: keywords, CPV codes (a broad code like 72000000 includes every IT services code under it), buyer country, notice type (open tenders, awards, planning), value range, and "hide tenders whose deadline has passed".
• 🔔 Tender alerts. Turn on Only new notices since my last run and put the tool on a daily schedule. You get, and pay for, only notices you haven't seen.
• 🏆 Contract awards with winners. Track who wins public contracts in your market, and for how much.
• 🔒 Privacy-friendly. The sources' contact fields (contact names, emails, phone numbers and street addresses) are left out. In description text, emails, phone numbers, UK postcodes and "contact person" sentences are blanked out too, so your dataset holds organisation-level facts.
• ✅ Official open data, no scraping tricks. It uses the sources' own public APIs, so it is fast and doesn't break when a website is redesigned.
• 🚫 No double charges. Updated versions of the same notice, and the same UK notice published on both UK sites, are saved once.

Who uses it?

• Companies that sell to governments (IT, construction, consulting, cleaning, medical supplies...) looking for new tenders to bid on.
• Bid managers and tender consultants running daily alerts for their clients.
• Sales and market intelligence teams tracking which competitors win public contracts, and at what price.
• Researchers and journalists analysing public spending.
• Lead-generation and CRM workflows that want public-sector buyers and opportunities as structured data.

How to use it

1. Pick your Sources (all three are on by default) and Notice types (default: open tenders you can still bid on).
2. Narrow it down with CPV codes, Keywords and/or Buyer countries. TED notices are written in the buyer's own language, so for EU-wide searches CPV codes are the most reliable filter. Look codes up at https://simap.ted.europa.eu/cpv. On TED, keywords are searched in the full official notice (in every language it is published in), so a match can come from a part of the notice that isn't in the title or description. On the UK sources, keywords are matched in the title and description.
3. Choose how far back to look (Published within the last N days, default 7) and, if you like, a minimum or maximum value.
4. Click Start. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or get them through the API.
5. For alerts, tick Only new notices since my last run and add a schedule (for example every morning).

Field	Meaning
source	ted, findATender or contractsFinder
noticeType	open (call for tender), award, planning or other (changes, cancellations)
title / headline	The buyer's title. On TED, headline adds the country and category in your chosen language
estimatedValue / awardedValue / currency	In the notice's own currency; many buyers don't publish a value
deadline	Last day to submit a bid (open tenders)
winners	Winning companies for awards: name, country, size (SME or large) where published
cpvCodes	EU procurement category codes
url / pdfUrl	The official notice

The run's SUMMARY record (in the key-value store) shows, for each source, how many notices matched, how many were saved, and how many were skipped as duplicates or already seen.

How much does it cost?

You pay per notice saved (see the Pricing tab). Notices removed by your filters, duplicates, and notices skipped by "only new" are free. Use Max notices per source and Max notices in total to cap the cost of a run.

Tips

• Start with CPV codes. They are the same in every EU language, unlike keywords. Broad codes include everything under them (45000000 = all construction work).
• Daily alert recipe: your CPV codes plus your countries, notice type "Open tenders", 2 days back, "Only new" on, scheduled every morning.
• Competitor tracking: notice type "Contract awards", your CPV codes, 30 to 90 days back, then filter the winners column.
• Find a Tender only allows about 12 requests a minute, so long date ranges that include awards take a few minutes. TED and Contracts Finder are fast.
• Values are in each notice's own currency; they are not converted.

FAQ

Is this legal? Yes. All three sources are official open-data services. TED notices "can be freely reused, for commercial or non-commercial purposes" (TED legal notice), and the UK sources are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Please credit the source if you republish the data.

Why are some TED titles not in English? Buyers write notices in their own language. The headline field is in the language you choose (default English) and names the country and category, so you can always tell what a notice is about.

Does it include contact people? No, on purpose. Contact fields are dropped, and contact sentences, emails and phone numbers are blanked out of descriptions (free text is cleaned automatically, so an unusual format can occasionally slip through). You get the buying organisation, its city and the official notice link, where the contact details for bidding are published.

Which tenders are on TED? Public contracts above the EU value thresholds (roughly €140k+ for goods and services from central government, €5.5M+ for works), plus many smaller ones published voluntarily.
