Public Tenders – EU TED & UK Find a Tender Procurement

Find open public tenders and contract awards from the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) – all EU/EEA countries – and the UK's Find a Tender service in one clean English schema. Built for B2B sales teams, bid writers, procurement consultants and AI agents who need daily tender alerts.

Try it free: a test with 50 tenders costs about $0.21 – covered by the $5 monthly credit of the free Apify plan. After that, $4 per 1,000 notices, no subscription.

Why this one

• EU + UK in one schema. One search covers 30+ countries; every notice has the same English fields.
• English-ready. Official English CPV category names, English title prefix for every EU notice, values converted to EUR and USD.
• Built for daily alerts. "Only new or changed notices" mode: schedule it daily and pay only for what's new.
• Clean sourcing. Official open procurement APIs only. No contact persons, e-mails or phone numbers.
• Pay only for results. Notices filtered out by your criteria are free.

How to use

1. Type what you sell (e.g. "software", "cleaning services") – or leave it empty and use the filters.
2. Pick countries (e.g. DE, FR, GB) and optionally CPV categories (e.g. 72000000 for IT services).
3. Click Start. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel – or schedule it daily with "Only new or changed notices".

Use cases

• Daily tender alerts for your sector and countries, straight to Google Sheets, Slack or your CRM.
• Market intelligence: who buys what, and for how much, across Europe.
• Competitor tracking: contract awards in your category.
• AI agents: "Find open IT tenders in Germany closing after 1 December" via the Apify MCP server.

Use it from code, n8n or AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, the Python or JavaScript client, n8n, Make or Zapier – or let an AI agent call it through the Apify MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor).

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("ram1eal/public-tenders-search").call(run_input={"searchQuery":"software","maxItems":20})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client
  .actor('ram1eal/public-tenders-search')
  .call({ searchQuery: 'software', maxItems: 20 });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

MCP: add ram1eal/public-tenders-search to the Apify MCP server and ask in plain English – the agent fills the input and pays per result.

Data sourcing & compliance

• EU: TED API – reuse authorised by Commission Decision 2011/833/EU.
• UK: Find a Tender OCDS API – Open Government Licence v3.0.
• Contact persons are never collected; e-mails and phone numbers inside descriptions are redacted.

FAQ

• Are titles fully translated? EU titles start with an official English prefix (country – category) followed by the original title. Descriptions stay in the original language.
• Why is the value sometimes missing? Many buyers do not publish an estimated value.
• Which UK tenders are covered? Find a Tender (higher-value UK procurement). Contracts Finder (lower-value England) is planned.
• What if something breaks? Open an issue – typical response under 12 hours.
