Find new public tenders in the EU's official procurement journal (TED) that fit your business: filter by country, CPV code, keyword and estimated value, and get only the notices you have not seen yet. Each notice comes with a short summary in English or German, and every run also saves a CSV and an Excel file.

The data comes from the official TED Search API of the EU Publications Office. No login, no API key, no website scraping.

What you get

For every notice:

• title (original language) and the TED title with the main CPV label
• buyer, city and country, place of performance (NUTS)
• CPV codes, contract type (works, supplies, services), procedure
• deadline for tenders and days left
• estimated value and currency, when the buyer published one
• winner, for contract award notices
• link to the notice on TED and to the PDF
• a summary like this one:

Contract notice (works) from Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft m.b.H. (Graz, Austria). CPV 45311200 Electrical fitting work. Procedure: open procedure. Deadline: 2026-11-04 (28 days left).

On top of the dataset (JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML via the Apify export), each run writes tenders.csv and tenders.xlsx to the key-value store. The Excel file has bold headers, filters, a frozen first row and clickable links.

Typical setups

Daily alert for your sector. Countries AT, DE, CPV 72000000 (IT services), switch on Only notices not delivered before, and add an Apify schedule for every weekday morning. Each run returns only the notices that are new since the last run. Connect the run to email, Slack, Google Sheets or Make with Apify integrations if you want the list sent somewhere.

Keyword search across Europe. Leave countries empty, keywords video production, Imagefilm, social media, search in the full text, last 30 days.

Market research on awards. Notice type Contract awards, CPV 90910000 (cleaning), country AT, last 90 days. You get winners and award values.

How "only new" works

The Actor keeps a list of notices it has delivered in a named key-value store (eu-tender-monitor-state) in your own Apify account, one entry per monitor. The monitor is identified by its name, or, if you leave the name empty, by the filter settings. Delivered notices are remembered for 180 days. Notices that were found but not delivered (for example because of the result cap) show up in the next run.

Pricing

Pay per event:

• $0.003 per notice delivered
• Apify's standard Actor start fee ($0.00005 per run)

You pay only for notices that end up in your dataset. A daily monitor that finds 5 new tenders costs about $0.015 per day. A run with nothing new costs only the start fee. Set Maximum notices per run or a maximum cost per run to stay in control.

Data source and reuse

Source: TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), © European Union, https://ted.europa.eu. TED notices may be reused for commercial and non-commercial purposes under the Commission's reuse policy (Decision 2011/833/EU). Please keep this credit if you publish the data. The Actor normalises the data (picks languages, adds the summary and deadline countdown) and does not change the content of the notices.

The Actor follows the TED fair-usage rules (well below 700 requests per minute, pauses between pages, backs off on errors).

Always check the official notice and the tender documents before you bid. Summaries are built automatically from the structured fields and can miss details.

FAQ

Why do some notices have no value? Many buyers do not publish an estimated value. Use Keep notices without a stated value to decide what happens with them.

Can I monitor national portals too? Not yet. This Actor covers TED, which includes all EU notices above the EU thresholds and many below them.
