Government Tenders API - EU TED, UK & US SAM.gov

Find new public sector tenders, RFPs, solicitations and contract awards across the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States in one clean feed. This Actor searches the official portals, normalizes every notice into the same format, removes duplicates, and returns only what matches your keywords, countries, categories and budget.

Source	Coverage
TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)	All EU member states, EEA and candidate countries: above-threshold public procurement
UK Find a Tender	UK above-threshold contracts
UK Contracts Finder	UK lower-value contracts (England and non-devolved bodies)
SAM.gov	US federal contract opportunities: solicitations, presolicitations, sources sought and awards

Why use it

• One schema for four portals. Titles, buyers, deadlines, values, categories and links arrive in the same fields whichever portal published the notice. US notices add NAICS, PSC, set-aside and solicitation number.
• Deduplicated. The same UK tender published on both Find a Tender and Contracts Finder appears once, with the other link kept in alsoPublishedOn. Amended notices replace their earlier versions.
• Monitor mode. Schedule it daily with Only new notices on, and you receive (and pay for) only notices you haven't seen before.
• Readable EU titles. TED titles come in your chosen language, with the original-language title kept alongside.
• Official open-data APIs. No scraping of HTML pages, no proxies, fast and reliable runs.

Use cases

• Bid and sales teams: a daily feed of new opportunities in your sector, pushed to Slack, email, a CRM or Google Sheets through Apify integrations.
• Market research: who buys what, how often, and at what contract values.
• Competitor tracking: use Contract awards mode to see which companies win contracts and for how much.
• AI agents: give your agent live procurement data through Apify's MCP server.

Input examples

IT and software opportunities in Germany, France and the UK, last 3 days:

{
  "keywords": ["software", "cloud", "cybersecurity"],
  "countries": ["DE", "FR", "GB"],
  "publishedWithinDays": 3
}

Daily alert: construction tenders over €1M anywhere in the EU and UK (schedule daily):

{
  "cpvCodes": ["45"],
  "minValue": 1000000,
  "publishedWithinDays": 2,
  "onlyNew": true
}

US federal IT opportunities, small-business set-asides included (NAICS 5415 = computer systems design):

{
  "countries": ["US"],
  "naicsCodes": ["5415", "518210"],
  "publishedWithinDays": 3
}

IT tenders on both sides of the Atlantic (CPV for EU/UK, NAICS for US):

Who won IT contracts in Poland this month?

{
  "noticeTypes": "awards",
  "countries": ["PL"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72"],
  "publishedWithinDays": 30
}

Category codes are regional. The EU and UK use CPV codes; the US uses NAICS. If you give only CPV codes, US notices are skipped (and vice versa), so give both to cover all regions.

Common NAICS prefixes: 236 building construction · 237 heavy and civil construction · 5415 computer systems design · 5416 management consulting · 5413 engineering · 5617 building services and janitorial · 4234 medical equipment wholesale.

Common CPV prefixes: 45 construction · 48 software packages · 72 IT services · 79 business services · 71 engineering and architecture · 85 health and social · 90 cleaning and environmental · 33 medical equipment · 34 transport equipment · 50 repair and maintenance.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? EU and UK runs query the official APIs live: TED publishes every working day, and the UK portals publish continuously. US data comes from SAM.gov's daily public extract, refreshed each morning (US Eastern time).

Why do some notices have no value? Many buyers don't publish an estimated value. Use Minimum estimated value only if you're happy to skip those.

Which US notices are included? Federal contract opportunities posted on SAM.gov. Opportunities returns solicitations and combined synopsis/solicitations; Everything adds presolicitations, sources sought and special notices; Awards returns award notices with the awardee and amount. State and local US tenders aren't covered.

Does one busy source crowd out the others? No. When Maximum results is reached, each source gets a fair share.
