EU Tenders Scraper (TED) — Public Contracts by CPV & Country

Search the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) by buyer country, CPV code, keyword or your own TED query and get one clean row per notice: buyer, title, CPV codes, estimated value and currency, submission deadline, country, place of performance and procedure type, with a link to the notice on TED. $2.00 per 1,000 notices, no login, no API key.

Run it again, or put it on a daily schedule, and every row also tells you whether the notice is new since the last run (isNew). Set What to return to Only new and you pay only for the notices you have not seen before. TED publishes thousands of notices a day, so the useful question is what appeared since yesterday; this keeps the list of what you have already seen.

What you get

Field	What it is
publicationNumber, url	the TED notice number (for example 689141-2026) and the link to its page on TED
noticeKind, noticeType	what kind of notice it is: open-call (a contract notice you can still bid on), award (the result), planning, contract-modification, consultation…, and TED's own notice type code (cn-standard, can-standard, pin-only…)
publishedOn	the date TED published it
deadline, deadlineType	the submission deadline with time and time zone as the notice states it (the date only when the notice gives no time). tenders = deadline for receipt of tenders, requests-to-participate = deadline to ask to take part (restricted and negotiated procedures). The earliest one if the lots differ (a lot date earlier than the notice's publication date is a typing slip by the buyer and is skipped when another lot has a valid one)
isNew, previousRunAt	true / false whether you had not seen this notice in your previous run of the same search, and when that run was (null on the first run)
buyerName, buyerNames, buyerCity	the contracting authority (a public body); buyerNames lists every buyer when several buy together
buyerCountry, buyerCountryIso3	the buyer's country as ISO 3166 two- and three-letter codes (DE / DEU)
title, titleLanguage	the title as the buyer wrote it, and its language as a three-letter code (deu, fra, eng…)
contractNature	services, supplies or works
cpvCodes, mainCpv, mainCpvDescription	all CPV codes of the notice (each once), the main one, and the main one's name in English
estimatedValue, currency, estimatedValueSource	the estimated value the buyer states for the whole procurement, its currency, and where it comes from: notice (stated for the whole procedure) or lots (sum of the lots' values)
awardedValue, awardedCurrency	on award results: the total value awarded
placeOfPerformance, nutsCodes	where the work is done (Hannover (DE)) and the NUTS region codes
procedureType, procedureCode	for example Open procedure / open, Restricted procedure / restricted, Negotiated procedure with a call for competition / neg-w-call
observedAt	when the row was collected

Run it again and again

• On a schedule: save your input as a task and add a Schedule: the same search every morning. Send each run to Google Sheets, Slack or email with an integration on the task.
• Watch for changes: Set What to return to Only notices that are new since the last run.
• In bulk: Combine Buyer countries, CPV codes and Keywords in one run.

Use it for

• Bid monitoring: a daily schedule with your countries and CPV codes, Open calls and Only new, sent to Sheets, Slack or your CRM
• Lead lists for suppliers: the public bodies that buy what you sell: buyer, city, country, CPV, value and the notice link
• Market research: Award results by CPV code and country show who buys, how often and for how much
• Pipeline planning: Planning notices announce purchases before the call is published

Input

{
  "countries": ["DE", "FR"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
  "keywords": ["cloud"],
  "noticeKind": "open-calls",
  "publishedWithinDays": 7,
  "maxNotices": 200,
  "output": "new"
}

• All filters are combined with AND; the entries inside one list are combined with OR.
• countries: the buyer's country, ISO codes with two or three letters. This is a filter on the buyer, not a ranking hint.
• cpvCodes: a code covers its whole branch: 72000000 (or 72) matches every 72… code.
• keywords: each line is searched as a phrase in the notice title (which includes the name of the main CPV code) and in the description of the procedure.
• query: optional, in TED's expert-search syntax, for anything the fields above cannot say, for example contract-nature-main-proc=works AND estimated-value-proc>5000000.
• Results are always sorted newest first, and maxNotices (default 200, up to 5,000) cuts the list from the old end. With Only new it is the number of new notices to return: the Actor reads down the list, past the notices you have already seen (up to 5,000 notices deep), until it has found that many. Notices below the cut-off are not marked as seen, so they come back as new in your next run.

"Is it new" is remembered per search — the same countries, CPV codes, keywords, notice kind and query — in a named key-value store in your Apify account, so the second run of the same search already shows isNew. Changing Published within or Maximum notices keeps the same history.

Pricing

$2.00 per 1,000 notices, plus $0.01 per run. Error rows (a search TED rejects, TED not answering) are free. With Only new, notices you have already seen are skipped and not charged. The $0.01 run-start fee is the one charge every run pays, even one that returns nothing.

Notes

• Source: the public search API of TED, the EU Publications Office's procurement journal. Anonymous access, nothing from behind a login. TED's own legal notice applies to reuse of the data.
• Buyers are public bodies. No contact persons, email addresses or phone numbers are returned; the Actor never asks TED for them.
• Titles stay in the buyer's language (titleLanguage); in a read of the 5,000 newest notices on 9 Oct 2026 only 204 had an English title. mainCpvDescription is in English, which tells you what the notice is about.
• deadline is filled on open calls (2,488 of 2,501 in that read; the rest are mostly qualification-system and prior-information notices that name no deadline). Award and modification notices have none, and planning notices almost never (1 of the 2,499 other notices in that read). A few buyers type a deadline that lies before the notice's own publication date on every lot (12 of 2,272 tender deadlines in that read); the Actor passes on what the buyer entered.
• estimatedValue is what the buyer states, and about half of the open calls state none (1,324 of 2,501 in that read), so it is empty there. Some buyers enter a placeholder: a value of 1 or less in the buyer's currency made up 87 of the 2,242 values in that read, so check small values before you add them up. estimatedValueSource lots is the sum of the lots that state a value and can understate the total. awardedValue is filled on award results only (1,811 of 2,011 in that read), and some of those are 0 too.
• isNew and previousRunAt are null on the first run of a search, because there is nothing to compare with yet.
• procedureType is empty on contract-modification and consultation notices (they have no procedure type in TED), on most planning notices, and on a few award and open-call notices (24 of 4,512 in that read). placeOfPerformance and nutsCodes are empty when the notice names no place.
• A notice a buyer corrects appears once, in its latest version.
• TED publishes thousands of notices a day (3,705 latest-version notices on 8 Oct 2026), so a wide search with the default 200 gives you the newest 200. Narrow it with country, CPV code, keywords or notice kind rather than raising the limit. Reading 5,000 notices took 37 seconds in a live run on 9 Oct 2026.
• A notice that carries no buyer, no title and no CPV code at all (1 of 5,000 in that read) is skipped and not charged.
• If TED stops a search early because it took too long, the Actor keeps the notices it received and adds a free error row saying the list may be incomplete; narrow the search and run it again.
• If TED is rate limiting, the Actor waits and retries twice. If it still gets no answer it adds a free error row, and the run is marked failed when nothing at all could be read.

For AI agents

{"countries": ["DE"], "noticeKind": "open-calls", "publishedWithinDays": 3, "maxNotices": 5} returns up to 5 rows, newest first, each with buyer, title, CPV codes, deadline and value. Rows have type: notice or error. Fields that do not apply to a notice are null (or an empty list), never missing. Schedule the same input daily with "output": "new" to get only what was published since the previous run.
