Danish Public Tenders (TED): Udbud Alerts by CPV & Keyword

Get Danish public tenders (offentlige udbud) as clean, ready-to-use data: title, buyer, CPV codes, estimated value, bid deadline and a link to the notice. The data comes from TED, the EU's official procurement journal. Add Sweden, Norway, Finland or Iceland if you bid across the Nordics.

Daily tender alerts that cost nothing on quiet days. Switch on Only new since last run and schedule the Actor. Each notice is delivered once, ready for Slack, email, Google Sheets or your CRM. A run with nothing new is free.

What it does

• Searches all TED notices from Danish buyers (kommuner, regioner, styrelser, forsyninger, boligselskaber …), with optional other Nordic countries.
• Filters by CPV code (e.g. 72 IT, 45 construction), keywords in any language (software, rengøring, rådgivning), notice type and publication date.
• Only open for bids: drop tenders whose deadline has passed. Minimum value drops small or unpriced tenders.
• Contract awards: who won, with the winner's company number and the awarded value (notice type "Contract awards").
• Buyer CVR number, NUTS region, number of lots, framework agreement flag (rammeaftale) and direct links to the tender documents and bid submission page.
• Only new since last run: remembers what you already received, per saved search (monitorId).
• Every lot of a notice: title, CPV, value and deadline per lot (nested lots array), or one row per lot for spreadsheets.
• Nordic presets (Denmark, Scandinavia, all Nordic) with values converted to DKK and EUR using the ECB reference rates.
• English where it exists: an English CPV category for every notice, plus the buyer's own English title and summary when they published one. Nothing is machine-translated.
• Changes and cancellations are flagged: each notice has a status (published, changed, cancelled, awarded, noAward). In alert mode, corrections, cancellations and awards for tenders you already received are marked updatesSeenNotice: true.
• Titles and buyer names in Danish, English, Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish.
• Fast and cheap: one official API, no scraping, no login and no proxies. A 20-notice run takes a few seconds.

Who it's for

• Bid managers and sales teams who want a morning list of new Danish tenders in their category.
• Consultants and tender-writing agencies who run one saved search per client.
• Market analysts who size public demand by CPV, buyer or value.
• AI agents and automations that need a small, flat record per tender.

1. Save a task. Open the Actor, enter one of the inputs below and click Save as a new task. Name it e.g. "IT tenders DK".
2. Schedule it. In Apify Console go to Schedules → Create new, set e.g. 0 7 * * 1-5 (weekdays 07:00, Europe/Copenhagen) and add your task.
3. Get notified.
   • Email: on the task, open Integrations and add the email integration (or a Zapier/Make "Actor run succeeded" trigger). Have it send the dataset link or items.
   • Slack, Teams or your system: under Integrations → Webhooks, add a webhook for ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED pointing to your endpoint (Slack incoming webhook via Make/Zapier/n8n, or your API). Fetch the items from https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{{resource.defaultDatasetId}}/items?view=overview.
   • Know when something breaks: add a second notification for ACTOR.RUN.FAILED / TIMED_OUT.
4. Quiet days cost nothing: a run with no new notices isn't charged.

Pricing

Pay per event. Platform usage is included.

Event	Price	When
Actor start (actor-start)	$0.002	Once per run that returns at least one notice
Tender notice (tender-notice)	$0.003	Per notice returned ($3 per 1,000)

Runs that fail or return no notices cost nothing, so a daily alert with nothing new is free. Examples: a 20-notice test costs $0.062. A daily alert with about 5 new notices a day costs about $0.50 a month. A 1,000-notice export costs about $3. Use Max notices (or the run's maximum cost) to cap spending.

FAQ

Does it include all Danish tenders? It includes everything Danish buyers publish on TED: all EU tenders above the thresholds, plus voluntary below-threshold publications. Tenders published only on udbud.dk (below the EU thresholds) are not included yet. See Limitations.

How does "only new" work? The IDs of notices you received are stored in a key-value store named dk-tenders-state in your own Apify account. The record is keyed by your Monitor ID plus a fingerprint of your search filters: countries, CPV codes, keywords (case and order don't matter), notice types, minimum value and open-only. Changing the date range, max notices, language, row format or description setting keeps your history, so a rolling "last 3 days" schedule works. Changing a filter starts a fresh list, so you get the full matching set once. The first run returns everything that matches and saves the baseline. Notices that correct, cancel or award a tender you already received are delivered again as their own notices, with updatesSeenNotice: true.

Why zero results? Your filters are narrow or, in "only new" mode, nothing new was published. You're not charged for that. TED publishes on working days (Tue–Sat).

Can I search in Danish? Yes. Keywords match the full notice text in any language. Combine e.g. ["rengøring", "cleaning"].

Limitations

• TED only (v1). udbud.dk's below-threshold notices are not included. udbud.dk allows reuse with attribution, but only through its official API, which needs a registered system-provider account. Support is planned.
• The value is TED's total value or, if that's missing, the sum of the lot estimates. It's in the notice's own currency, and many notices publish no value.
• Currency conversion uses the latest ECB rate, not the rate on the publication date.
• English titles and summaries exist only when the buyer wrote them in English. Most Danish notices are Danish-only, apart from the English CPV category.
• The deadline is the earliest lot deadline for submitting a tender. For restricted and negotiated procedures it's the deadline to request participation instead (deadlineType).
• At most 1,000 notices per run and a 366-day date range.
• No contact persons, e-mails or phone numbers are returned. Contract winners are the company names and identifiers published on TED. A winner can occasionally be a sole trader trading under a personal name.
• Winner identifiers are paired with names only when TED's lists line up one-to-one. Otherwise the identifier is left empty rather than guessed.
• Not every award notice names a winner (e.g. cancelled lots or no tenders received).

OUTPUT record

OUTPUT in the run's default key-value store holds status (OK, PARTIAL, NO_DATA, CHARGE_LIMIT_REACHED, ERROR), message, charged, the TED query, matched, returned, skippedSeen, skippedClosed, skippedValue, filters and attribution. A failed run (e.g. invalid input) still writes status: "ERROR", the message and charged: false.

Currency conversion

valueDkk and valueEur use the latest daily ECB euro foreign exchange reference rates (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml), converted via EUR and rounded to 2 decimals. fxRateDate is the rate date, and OUTPUT fx lists the rates used. The ECB publishes these for information only. They're not a transaction rate, and estimated values are often set months before publication. If the ECB can't be reached, the conversion fields are null and OUTPUT has a warning; the run still succeeds.

Status and changes

status comes from eForms fields: changed when change-notice-version-identifier is set (corrigendum), cancelled when the change reason is cancel/cancel-intent, noAward when every lot result is clos-nw, awarded for other can-* notices, otherwise published. changeOf identifies the changed notice: usually its TED publication number, sometimes its eForms notice ID + version (UUID-01). Matching to notices you already have therefore also uses procedureId. In only-new mode, relatedSeenIds lists earlier notices you received from the same procedure (procedureId) or the notice it changes. isExpired compares the deadline with the run date.

Lots

Per-lot values, deadlines and CPV codes are mapped only when TED returns exactly one entry per lot. Otherwise those lot fields are null rather than guessed (the notice-level value and deadline are still filled).

Billing events

actor-start (once per run with at least one notice) and tender-notice (per notice). Notices are saved first and charged after. If your maximum cost per run is reached, the run returns what it could pay for (status PARTIAL), and only those notices are marked as seen.
