# Official EU Public Tender Opportunities API (`redfoxxie/official-eu-public-tenders-monitor`) Actor Monitor active official EU competition notices from TED with bounded date, country, CPV, buyer, notice-type, and language filters plus deadlines, estimated values, source links, and explicit coverage telemetry. - **URL**: https://apify.com/redfoxxie/official-eu-public-tenders-monitor.md - **Developed by:** [João Ferreira](https://apify.com/redfoxxie) (community) - **Categories:** Automation, Developer tools, Other - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $4.00 / 1,000 official eu tenders This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README Unofficial independent tool. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Publications Office of the European Union or Tenders Electronic Daily. Turn active EU procurement competition notices into a bounded, normalized feed for alerts, research, CRM enrichment, agents, spreadsheets, and opportunity monitoring. The Actor reads the anonymous official Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) Search API. It does not scrape a reseller, infer award probabilities, or claim that a notice is suitable for a particular supplier. ### What does the tender monitor return? Each row includes the official publication number and date, competition notice type, preferred-language title and buyers, places-of-performance countries, CPV classifications, submission deadlines, estimated procedure or compatible lot value when supplied, the official notice link, source attribution, retrieval time, and coverage telemetry. The coverage object records the official result count, number scanned, scan cap, timeout flag, truncation flag, and exact official query, so a partial source scan cannot look complete. Only official competition-stage notice types are eligible. Award notices and planning notices that do not invite competition are excluded. Active API scope and latest notice versions are requested, then every result is independently filtered and deduplicated by publication number. This product normalizes the source and labels that transformation; the official notice remains authoritative. ### Example Fetch recent software and IT opportunities: ```json { "publicationStartDate": "", "publicationEndDate": "", "daysBack": 7, "noticeTypes": ["cn-standard", "pin-cfc-standard"], "countries": [], "cpvPrefixes": ["48", "72"], "search": "", "preferredLanguage": "eng", "scanLimit": 5000, "maxItems": 300 } ```` Country filters use ISO alpha-3 codes such as `PRT`, `ESP`, and `DEU`. CPV filters are prefixes containing two to eight digits, so `72` covers the broad IT-services family while `72000000` is narrower. Search is case-insensitive and applies to the normalized title, buyers, country codes, and CPV codes. Explicit publication dates override `daysBack`; the inclusive date span is capped at 30 days by the input contract. ### Source and reuse behavior Records come from the official TED Search API at `https://api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search`. The official TED legal notice is linked in every output row. TED procurement notices are published for reuse; this independent product adds filtering, field selection, language preference, normalization, deduplication, and coverage telemetry. It does not use an EU institution logo or imply endorsement. Source attribution is retained and the normalization is explicitly disclosed as a change from the source structure. Multilingual fields prefer the requested three-letter TED language, then English, then a deterministic available language. Procedure-level estimated value takes priority. Lot values are summed only when their currencies are compatible; otherwise the value is omitted instead of manufacturing a total. Missing titles, values, or links remain missing. Dates, notice types, buyer names, and deadlines can be corrected by publishers, so schedule a fresh run before acting and retain `retrieved_at_utc`. The API currently permits anonymous search, but availability and rate limits remain controlled by the source. Pagination is bounded to 5,000 source notices and 500 returned records. When a source result set is larger, each row says so through `source_scan_truncated`. This is preferable to silently returning an apparently complete subset. ### Pricing The first 10 returned records in each run are free. Each additional `official_eu_tender` costs **$0.004**. There is no start fee. The launch uses **Pay per event + usage**, so Apify platform usage is billed separately to the account running the Actor, including runs that return only free rows. At the hard `maxItems=500` ceiling, the maximum custom event charge is $1.96. ### Responsible use and support This feed is discovery infrastructure, not legal, procurement, financial, or bid advice. Buyers can amend, cancel, postpone, or clarify notices. Users must read the linked official notice, confirm eligibility, deadlines, documents, language, jurisdiction, and applicable procurement rules before relying on a record. For a reproducible parsing or filtering issue, open the Actor's Apify Issues tab with the run ID, notice ID, query, and official URL. # Actor input Schema ## `publicationStartDate` (type: `string`): First inclusive TED publication date in YYYY-MM-DD form. Leave empty to derive it from days back. ## `publicationEndDate` (type: `string`): Last inclusive TED publication date in YYYY-MM-DD form. Leave empty to use the current UTC date. ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): Publication lookback used only when publication start date is empty. ## `noticeTypes` (type: `array`): Official TED competition notice codes to include. Award and planning-only notices are excluded by design. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Optional ISO alpha-3 countries of performance, such as PRT, ESP, or DEU. ## `cpvPrefixes` (type: `array`): Optional Common Procurement Vocabulary prefixes containing 2 to 8 digits, such as 72 for IT services. ## `search` (type: `string`): Case-insensitive text matched against normalized notice titles, buyers, countries, and CPV codes. ## `preferredLanguage` (type: `string`): Three-letter lowercase TED language code used for multilingual titles, buyers, and official notice links. ## `scanLimit` (type: `integer`): Hard source-side scan cap. Coverage telemetry reports when the official result set exceeds it. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on returned tender opportunities and possible paid events for one run. ## Actor input object example ```json { "publicationStartDate": "2026-07-19", "publicationEndDate": "2026-07-20", "daysBack": 1, "noticeTypes": [ "cn-standard", "pin-cfc-standard" ], "countries": [ "PRT", "ESP" ], "cpvPrefixes": [ "72", "48000000" ], "search": "software", "preferredLanguage": "eng", "scanLimit": 5000, "maxItems": 200 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `tenders` (type: `string`): One normalized row per official active competition notice matching the requested dates and filters. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
