EU Tender Monitor — TED Public Procurement Scraper

Monitor EU public procurement tenders from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — the official journal where every above-threshold public contract in the EU must be published.

Filter by CPV codes, countries, keywords and deadlines. Turn on monitor mode and schedule the actor to get only new tenders since the last run — a zero-noise daily feed for your bid team, CRM, or AI agent.

Why this actor

• ✅ Official data source — uses the public TED API (no scraping of protected sites, no legal gray zone, no broken selectors).
• ✅ All 27 EU countries + EEA — one actor for your entire market.
• ✅ Monitor mode — remembers what you've already seen; a scheduled run outputs only new tenders. Perfect for daily alerts.
• ✅ Bid-ready fields — buyer, submission deadline, estimated contract value, CPV classification, direct links to the notice (HTML/PDF/XML).
• ✅ AI-agent friendly — clean JSON output; plug it into an LLM to score tender fit against your company profile.

Typical use cases

Bid / tender teams	Daily scheduled run → email or Slack with new tenders matching your CPV + country

}

Every run also writes a RUN_SUMMARY record to the key-value store with the result counts, the resolved filters and the exact TED query used — handy for integrations, debugging and AI agents.

Scheduling a daily alert

1. Set your filters, enable monitorMode.
2. Create a Schedule in Apify Console (e.g. every morning at 7:00).
3. Add an integration (email, Slack, webhook, Make, Zapier) on the actor run — you'll only be notified when there are new tenders.

Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee per run start plus a fee per tender returned. You only pay for results — an empty monitor run costs almost nothing.

Data source & fair use

All data comes from the official, publicly funded TED API. TED data is free to reuse under the EU open-data policy. This actor does not collect personal data.
