## 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

### What does EU Tenders Feed do?

**EU Tenders Feed** reads **TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)**, the EU's official journal for public procurement, and returns **one clean row per notice**, filtered the way you need it: by **publication date, buyer country, CPV code or sector** (IT services, construction, medical, consulting, cleaning …), **keywords**, **notice type** and **minimum value**. Schedule it every morning and you have a daily feed of new tenders.

For every notice you get:

- 🔢 the **TED notice number**, **publication date** and **notice type** (contract notice, contract award notice, prior information notice)
- 🏛️ the **buyer's name and country**
- 📝 the **title**: English when the buyer published one, otherwise the original language with its **language code**
- 🏷️ the **CPV codes with English descriptions**
- 💶 the **estimated value and currency** (when the buyer states one) and, for award notices, the awarded value
- ⏰ the **deadline for tenders**
- 📍 the **place of performance (NUTS regions)** with names
- ⚙️ the **procedure type** (open, restricted, negotiated …) and the contract nature (services, supplies, works)
- 🔗 links to the **TED page**, the notice as **XML and PDF**, and the **tender documents** the buyer published

**No API key, no proxy and no login:** the Actor uses TED's official, free search API.

### Who is it for?

- **Bid and sales teams** that want a daily list of tenders in their sector and countries (IT, construction, medical, consulting, cleaning …).
- **Consultancies and agencies** that monitor calls for tender for their clients.
- **Competitor and market research**: who buys what, where, for how much, and who won (award notices).
- **Public sector analysts and journalists**: count tenders by country, sector or procedure.

### How to use it

1. Click **Start** with the default input: the **last working day**, all countries, the **IT services** preset, contract notices, **50 notices**.
2. Narrow by **Buyer countries** (`DE`, `FR`, `PL` …), **Sectors** or **CPV codes**, **Keywords**, **Notice types** and **Minimum estimated value**.
3. For a **daily feed**, save the input as a task, leave the dates empty and add a **schedule** (for example every morning at 08:00): each run then returns the notices of the last working day. Use `noticeNumber` to de-duplicate.
4. Connect the task to Slack, email, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n with an Apify **integration** to get new tenders where you work.

#### Sectors, CPV codes and keywords

- A **sector** is a preset of CPV codes: for example *IT services* = CPV division 72, *construction* = 45, *medical* = 33 and 85, *consulting* = 79, *cleaning* = 909.
- **CPV codes**: give 8-digit codes (`72000000` or `72000000-8`) or prefixes (`72`, `7226`). A code that ends in zeros stands for its whole group, as in the CPV hierarchy: `72000000` finds every IT services code.
- **Sectors, CPV codes** are combined with OR: a notice matches when any of its CPV codes starts with any of your prefixes.
- **Keywords** are searched in the title and description (any keyword matches; several words are a phrase). All filters are combined with AND.

```json
{
    "publicationDateFrom": "2026-09-28",

One row in full:

```json
{
    "noticeNumber": "677602-2026",
    "publicationDate": "2026-10-01",
    "noticeType": "cn-standard",
    "noticeTypeLabel": "Contract or concession notice – standard regime",
    "noticeCategory": "contract-notice",
    "buyerName": "Gemeente Rotterdam",
    "buyerNames": ["Gemeente Rotterdam"],
    "buyerCountry": "NL",
    "buyerCountryCode": "NLD",
    "buyerCountryName": "Netherlands",
    "title": "Routeplanning en -begeleiding",
    "titleLanguage": "nl",
    "tedTitle": "Netherlands – IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support – Routeplanning en -begeleiding",
    "cpvCodes": [
        { "code": "72000000", "description": "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" },
        { "code": "90500000", "description": "Refuse and waste related services" }
    ],
    "mainCpv": { "code": "72000000", "description": "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" },
    "estimatedValue": 1080000,
    "estimatedValueSource": "procedure",
    "awardedValue": null,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "deadline": "2026-11-24T09:00:00Z",
    "deadlineDate": "2026-11-24",
    "placeOfPerformance": [{ "code": "NLD", "name": "Netherlands" }],

    "documentUrls": ["https://s2c.mercell.com/today/230063"],
    "error": null
}
```

**Fields worth knowing:**

- `estimatedValue` is empty when the buyer did not state one (in many notices). `estimatedValueSource` says whether it is the value of the whole procedure, the sum of the lots or a global estimate. **Values are not converted**: `currency` is what the notice says (EUR, SEK, PLN, CZK …).
- `deadline` is the earliest deadline for tenders; award and prior information notices usually have none.
- `title` is the buyer's own title (`titleLanguage` says which language). `tedTitle` is TED's English header with the country and the CPV label.
- `documentUrls` are the links the buyer published for the tender documents or the e-procurement page where bids are submitted. They may need a free registration on the buyer's platform.
- Rows with an `error` code are free info rows: `invalid-input`, `no-results`, `invalid-query`, `rate-limited`, `source-unavailable`.

### How much does it cost?

This Actor uses **pay per event**:

| Event | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Notice returned (one row per notice) | **$0.002** |
| Info rows, the "no results" row and rows about a source that could not be read | **free** |

- 50 notices cost **$0.10**; a daily feed of 30 notices costs about **$1.80 a month**.
- TED's search API is free.
- Apify also charges a tiny standard start fee per run.
- Set **Maximum cost per run** in the run options and the Actor stops when it is reached.

### Limitations

- **Working days only.** TED publishes notices on working days; there is nothing for Saturdays and Sundays. With empty dates the Actor therefore uses the **last working day before today** (on Monday: Friday), not "yesterday".
- **Above-threshold tenders only.** TED contains the notices that EU rules require to be published (contracts above the EU thresholds, plus some voluntary ones). Smaller national tenders are not in TED.
- **Values are not converted** between currencies; the minimum value is compared only with notices stated in the currency you choose (default EUR). Notices without a stated value are left out when a minimum is set.
- **`mainCpv` is the first code TED lists**; notices with several lots can carry the codes of all lots in `cpvCodes`.
- **Documents:** the Actor returns links; it does not download or read tender documents.
- **Up to 5,000 notices per run** (TED's search allows a window of 15,000 results). The Actor sends one request per 100 notices, one at a time, at least 0.7 s apart, and waits when TED asks it to slow down.
- Titles are in the buyer's language; the Actor does not translate them.

### Data and your responsibility

- The data is from the **official TED search API** of the Publications Office of the European Union. TED's legal notice says that the procurement notices can be freely reused for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Code lists (CPV, NUTS, countries, notice and procedure types) are from the eForms SDK (CC BY 4.0).
- Not legal or bidding advice: always read the official notice and the tender documents before bidding, and check the deadline in the notice. Notices can be corrected or cancelled later.
- The Actor returns **organisation data only** (buyers, places, documents). It does not request contact persons' names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers from the notices.
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Union or the Publications Office.

### FAQ

#### Is this official data?

Yes. It comes from TED's own search API, the same data as on ted.europa.eu.

#### Why did my run return no results?

Either nothing matched the filters, or the date has no publications (weekends, public holidays). The free `no-results` row says which dates were searched. Try a longer date range or fewer filters.

#### Can I get the winner of a tender?

Yes: choose the notice type **Contract award notice**. Award rows have `awardedValue`; winner names are in the notice itself (follow the TED link). The Actor does not return them.

#### Can I find tenders for a specific company type, such as cleaning or catering?

Use a **sector** preset or CPV codes, and optionally keywords. For example *cleaning* + country `DE` + contract notices.

#### How do I get only new tenders every day?

Schedule the Actor every morning with empty dates: it returns the last working day. Use `noticeNumber` to skip notices you already have.
