TED Tenders Scraper – EU Tenders, Awards & Winners

Search TED tenders and European public procurement awards by keyword, buyer country, CPV, publication date and value. Export notices with deadlines, buyer details and award winners, including national registration numbers when TED supplies a reliable match.

What you can collect from TED tenders

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the European Union’s public procurement publication service. Suppliers can follow new EU tenders in their sector, consultants can prepare a shortlist for clients, and analysts can compare published awards across buyers and countries. This actor returns one row for each published notice, so a contract notice and its later award remain separate records with separate notice numbers. A notice may describe several lots without creating an extra charge for each lot.

The results include the notice identifier, publication date, title, procedure type, buyer name and national identifier, buyer country, unique CPV classifications, available value information and the earliest submission or participation deadline. Links point to the published notice and its XML and PDF versions. Award notices can also include the winning suppliers, their countries and their national registration numbers.

Use cases for TED tenders data

• Bid and sales teams monitor new European tenders for their CPV codes and countries, and route each notice with its deadline into a CRM, spreadsheet or alert channel.
• Bid consultants build a weekly shortlist of open procurement opportunities for each client, filtered by value and buyer country.
• Market analysts study who wins public contracts in a sector, at what value, and for which buyers, using award notices with winner names and registration numbers.
• Sales intelligence joins winning suppliers to company registers through the normalized registration number, to find companies that already sell to governments.
• Researchers and journalists collect award notices for a buyer or region over a historical date range and keep the original XML and PDF links as evidence.

Input

Start with keywords, countries and max_items when looking for opportunities. Buyer countries accept either two-letter or three-letter ISO codes. The country filter describes the buying organisation, so it does not require a winning supplier to be based in the same country. cpv_codes use eight digits, with an optional check digit. TED treats classifications hierarchically, which means a broad classification can include more specific activities.

Use notice_types to select individual TED notice types. cn-standard selects standard contract notices and can-standard selects standard contract award notices. The convenience group competition expands to related contract notice types. award selects can-standard, can-social, can-desg, can-tran and veat. Select can-modif explicitly to include contract modifications. Use the individual codes if your workflow requires an exact publication category.

published_from and published_to accept calendar dates in YYYY-MM-DD format. If neither boundary is provided, the actor searches from seven days ago. This date floor also applies to expert queries. For an older notice, provide an explicit historical date boundary. Supplying only published_to searches through that date without applying the recent floor. The default ordering uses the unique publication number descending, so notices from the same publication date remain reachable across result pages.

query accepts TED expert search syntax and combines it with the other filters. If the query contains an explicit sorting clause, that clause is preserved. Sorting explicitly on a non-unique field can skip notices on subsequent result pages. For ordinary text, commas outside double quotes in keywords separate alternatives. Quoted phrases stay together, including when preceded by other words. Input containing only commas is rejected. The aliases keyword, expertQuery, maxItems and maxResults are available; the corresponding primary field takes precedence when both are supplied.

min_value filters TED’s total value in the notice’s original currency. This number may represent an estimated procurement value or a contract award, depending on the notice. Values in euros, Czech crowns and other currencies are not converted into a common unit. Compare values together with currency. only_open uses TED’s ACTIVE search scope.

language defaults to ENG and accepts TED’s 24 publication language codes. The chosen language controls the notice heading and the detail and PDF links. The country and CPV wording is localized by TED; the original procurement title, buyer name and description are not automatically translated.

This expert query searches standard contract notices from German buyers, with German headings and the unique publication number as the sort field:

{
  "query": "FT~software AND buyer-country=DEU AND notice-type=cn-standard AND publication-date>=20261001 SORT BY publication-number DESC",
  "published_from": "2026-10-01",
  "language": "DEU",
  "max_items": 3
}

Output

Each dataset row uses stable field names, including source, fetched_at, notice_id, publication_date, published_at, title, notice_type, notice_type_code, buyer_name, buyer_country, buyer_national_id, cpv_codes, deadline, estimated_value, awarded_value, value, currency, estimated_currency, winners, url, xml_url and pdf_url. notice_type is the readable English label from the official eForms notice-type code list; notice_type_code keeps the raw code (can-standard, veat, …) that notice_types accepts. Buyer and winner countries are two-letter codes; buyer_country_iso3 retains the original three-letter buyer code. The stage field uses the stages shared with other public tender sources: planning, tender (call for competition) or award (including VEAT and modifications of a running contract); it is null for corrections and other forms. stage_detail keeps the finer TED stage: planning, competition, award, modification, correction or other.

Estimated and awarded values are separate fields. VEAT notices have stage award and their total value is returned as awarded_value. During planning or competition, total value can fill a missing estimate. A contract modification’s total value fills neither field; an explicit source estimate is retained. value is the single amount for the stage: the estimate for planning and tender, the awarded value for an award. currency is null whenever value is null, including contract modifications without an award amount. Missing information remains null, and missing supplier lists remain empty. Older notices often lack original procurement titles, descriptions and winner information. The actor preserves that absence instead of inferring those fields.

Winners are taken from TED’s actual winning supplier names. A supplier’s registration number is included only when the supplier name matches the tenderer organisation data. Non-winning tenderers are not returned as winners. Repeated winner names across contracts and lots are deduplicated. Each supplier can include national_id, its original identifier, and registry_id, a normalized identifier for a company register lookup, with jurisdiction naming that register's country. A French SIRET is reduced to its SIREN where its format is valid. Recognized formats also include British Companies House numbers, eight-digit Dutch and Czech numbers and nine-digit Portuguese numbers. Other countries and unrecognized identifiers have a null registry_id; their raw national_id is retained. Format recognition does not verify a company’s registration. Register data is not automatically fetched, so customers can choose which register or verification service to join.

Output example: an award notice with its winner

Notice 674647-2026 is Stedin’s award for Pre- en In-Employment Screening. Its winning supplier is International Security Partners B.V., with Dutch registration number 39050726. Other organisations that submitted a tender are not included in its winners list. The example files contain actual TED responses captured on 5 October 2026 and projected into the documented row format. This is that row, with the long description shortened:

Result limits and continuation

max_items defaults to 100 and can request up to 100,000 notices. Large actor runs collect successive result pages automatically until they reach the requested number or the available results. The run summary reports incomplete work when a source timeout or a request limit prevents completion. Keep the summary alongside your dataset when auditing coverage. An empty search returns no dataset rows.

When using the API directly, next_cursor lets you continue a larger search. Return the complete token unchanged with the same filters, language and scope and resume promptly, because source tokens can expire. The default date window stays anchored to the initial search when continuing across UTC midnight. The continuation keeps unread notices so a result limit does not discard them. total_count is the source’s total number of matched notices and can exceed the number you requested. A notice deadline is published information; confirm current tender documents before making a submission decision.

How this compares to other ways of getting TED tenders

	TED website search	TED bulk XML packages	This actor
Filter by keyword, country, CPV, date and value	yes, by hand	no, you filter yourself	yes, in one input
One flat row per notice	no	no, nested eForms XML	yes
Winning suppliers with registration numbers	read each notice	parse each XML file	in the winners field
Estimated and awarded value kept apart	read each notice	parse each XML file	separate fields
Schedule, API, webhooks and exports	no	no	yes, through Apify

Other TED tender scrapers in the Apify Store mostly return the search fields of a notice. This actor also reads the award data, keeps non-winning tenderers out of the winners list, and normalizes the winner’s national identifier so you can match it to a company register.

Pricing

This TED tenders actor uses Apify’s pay-per-event pricing. The billable event is tender, charged once for each notice delivered to the dataset, at a list price of $0.002 per notice ($2 per 1,000 notices). No additional event is charged for each winning supplier or lot. Empty searches deliver zero notices and incur zero tender events. The actor’s pricing panel in the Apify Store is the applicable price; an example or an export does not replace it.

Users on a free Apify plan can receive up to ten notices per run. The same limit applies when using a volume alias. Paid-plan users can request the larger documented limit. Choose a small maximum when testing a filter, then increase it after checking the results.

FAQ

Can I search historical procurement notices?

Yes. Set an explicit publication date boundary and use a keyword, filter or expert query. Without a date boundary, the actor applies its rolling seven-day publication floor. Historical notices may contain fewer structured fields than newer notices.

Are buyer and winner identifiers verified company records?

They are identifiers published by TED, matched to the correct supplier name when possible. The actor does not confirm a company’s current legal status. Use the normalized identifier and country to join a company register if your workflow needs that information.

Does the language option translate the full procurement description?

TED’s heading and links follow the selected language. Original procurement titles and free-text descriptions remain in their published language, so the actor does not promise a translated specification or translated contract documents.

Why can an award have an empty winners list?

The source may not expose structured winner names, especially for older notices. The actor returns an empty list and keeps other available award fields. It does not substitute all tenderers for the winning supplier.

Can I get only open tenders with a deadline still ahead?

Set only_open to true and choose competition notice types. The actor then uses TED’s active search scope. Always check the deadline in the tender documents before you bid.

How do I get daily alerts for new EU tenders?

Save your input as an Apify task and schedule it once a day with the default seven-day window or a published_from date. Connect a webhook or an integration to send new notices to your inbox, spreadsheet or CRM.
