# TED Tenders Monitor — New EU Procurement Alerts (`newsignal/ted-delta-monitor`) Actor Get alerted only on NEW EU public tenders. Monitors TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) for a clean delta feed — filter by CPV code, country, or value. - **URL**: https://apify.com/newsignal/ted-delta-monitor.md - **Developed by:** [Davide](https://apify.com/newsignal) (community) - **Categories:** Automation, Lead generation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $5.00 / 1,000 tender founds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TED Delta-Monitor — EU Tenders ### What does TED Delta-Monitor do? TED Delta-Monitor watches [TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)](https://ted.europa.eu), the official EU public procurement journal, and emits **only the tender notices that are new since the last run**. Unlike one-shot TED scrapers, it keeps a persistent memory of already-seen notices in a Key-Value Store, so a scheduled run gives you a clean **delta feed**: no duplicates, no re-processing, just what appeared since you last looked. Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, webhooks and integrations (Slack, email, Make, Zapier) out of the box. ### Why use TED Delta-Monitor? - **Alerting, not scraping** — schedule it daily and pipe new tenders straight to your CRM, Slack or email. The delta logic means every item in the dataset is actionable. - **Open tenders by default** — it filters to contract notices (`cn-*`), the ones you can still bid on, each with its submission **deadline**. - **Clean source** — data comes from the official, keyless TED Search API (reuse permitted under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU). No anti-bot games, no ToS risk. ### How to use TED Delta-Monitor 1. Set the **CPV codes** for your industry (e.g. `33600000` = pharmaceutical products). 2. Optionally narrow by **country** (ISO-3, e.g. `ITA`), **keywords** or **minimum value**. 3. Run once to seed the memory, then **schedule** it (e.g. daily). 4. Consume new notices from the dataset, or attach a webhook/integration for push alerts. ### Input | Field | Meaning | Default | |---|---|---| | `cpv_codes` | CPV codes to monitor (OR) | `["33600000"]` | | `countries` | Buyer countries, ISO-3 | all | | `keywords` | Words matched in title/buyer | none | | `notice_types` | Notice-type families | `["cn"]` (open tenders) | | `min_value` | Minimum estimated value (EUR) | none | | `days_back` | Fetch window in days | `7` | | `only_new` | Emit only unseen notices | `true` | ### Output One dataset item per **new** notice. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. ```json { "notice_id": "442011-2026", "title": "Poland – Pharmaceutical products – DFP.271.127.2026.AB", "buyer": "SZPITAL UNIWERSYTECKI W KRAKOWIE", "country": ["POL"], "cpv": ["33600000", "33680000", "15880000"], "value": 2521475.52, "deadline": "2026-07-14+02:00", "publication_date": "2026-06-29+02:00", "notice_type": "cn-standard", "link": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/442011-2026" } ```` ### How much does it cost to monitor TED? Runs are light: one HTTP request per 250 notices, no browser. A typical daily run over a 7-day window completes in seconds. Pricing is **pay-per-event** — you pay for results, not for idle polling: | Event | Price | |---|---| | Actor start | $0.00005 | | New tender notice found | $0.005 | A scheduled daily run that finds nothing costs virtually zero. A typical filtered feed (5–50 new notices/day) costs **$0.75–7.50 per month**. You can cap spending with the **Max cost per run** setting: if a run hits the cap, it stops emitting and delivers the remaining notices on the next run — nothing is lost. ### FAQ, disclaimers, and support TED data is published by the Publications Office of the EU and may be reused with source acknowledgement (Decision 2011/833/EU). This Actor queries the official public API and respects its terms. Notice deadlines exist only on open tenders; award notices (`can-*`) have none. For issues or feature requests, use the Issues tab. # Actor input Schema ## `cpv_codes` (type: `array`): CPV codes (product/service category) to monitor, e.g. "33600000". OR filter across codes. Empty = no CPV filter. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Buyer countries in TED's ISO-3 format (e.g. "ITA", "CZE", "DEU"). An invalid code makes the run fail with a message naming the rejected value. Empty = all countries. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Keywords to match in the notice text. Empty = no text filter. ## `notice_types` (type: `array`): Notice-type families to include. Default \["cn"] = OPEN tenders only (contract notices, with a deadline). Use \["cn", "can"] to also include awarded contracts (can-\*, no deadline). ## `days_back` (type: `integer`): Fetch window: notices published in the last N days (publication-date >=). The delta vs the Key-Value Store then filters out the ones already seen. ## `min_value` (type: `integer`): Minimum estimated contract value in EUR. Omitted = no value filter. ## `only_new` (type: `boolean`): If true (default), emits only notices not yet seen (delta vs the previous run's Key-Value Store). If false, emits every notice matching the filters. ## Actor input object example ```json { "cpv_codes": [ "33600000" ], "notice_types": [ "cn" ], "days_back": 7, "only_new": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `new_notices` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
