🇪🇺 TED EU Public Procurement Scraper

🚀 Pull EU public procurement tenders from TED in minutes. 525,000+ contract notices across all EU/EEA countries. Filter by country, CPV, or expert query. No API key.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-09 · 📊 30+ fields per notice · 🌍 32 EU/EEA countries · 🚫 No auth required

Pull live EU public procurement tenders from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official EU publication for public-sector contracts. The actor walks the TED catalog with your filter combination (country, CPV code, or expert query), paginates through results, and returns one structured record per contract notice ready for government-tender intelligence, B2G sales prospecting, regulatory compliance, or public-spending research.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of TED at run time. Records include the buyer name, country, contract description, contract value (where exposed), submission deadline, CPV codes, notice type, publication date, lot count, and a back-reference URL to the canonical TED notice.

📋 What the TED Scraper does

• 🌍 Country filter. Restrict to a specific EU/EEA country (32 supported).
• 🏷️ CPV code filter. Filter by Common Procurement Vocabulary code (e.g. 72000000 IT services, 45000000 construction).
• 🔍 Expert query. Pass a TED expert-search query for advanced filtering (overrides country/CPV).
• 💰 Contract values. Estimated and final contract values where exposed.
• 📅 Deadlines. Submission and decision deadlines.
• 🏢 Buyer details. Buyer name, country, postal code, NUTS region.

The scraper accepts a country plus CPV code OR a TED expert query. It walks TED's API surface, fetches each notice, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

💡 Why it matters: TED is the canonical record of EU public procurement worth €2 trillion+ annually but its UI is paginated and lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual searches for B2G sales, compliance, and public-spending research.
