Open Tenders Daily – TED, BOAMP & UK Tenders

Independent, unofficial tool, not affiliated with the EU, the Publications Office or the DILA (full notice below).

Call this Actor to list open public tenders (calls for tenders) in the EU, France and optionally the UK, filtered by keywords, countries, CPV sector codes, French département, estimated value and publication period. Use it when an AI agent or a human needs "which tenders can we still answer about X", or, with award notice types, "who won which public contract". It does not return contact persons or award winners' personal data, and it is not a document or bid-submission tool. For past French awards with winner and amount use the French Public Contract Awards (DECP) Actor instead. One call = one answer. Typical run: 5-30 s. Empty input returns the latest 20 open tenders per source of the last 2 days (the platform's default test run), so always send at least one filter for a useful answer.

Minimal input

Goal	Minimal input	What comes back
Open tenders for a topic	{"keywords": ["software"], "sinceDays": 7, "maxResults": 5}	notices matching the words, newest first, from TED and BOAMP
One country, EU only	{"sources": ["TED"], "countries": ["DEU"], "maxResults": 5}	German buyers' open tenders
Who won contracts	{"noticeTypes": ["can-standard"], "onlyOpen": false, "keywords": ["cloud"], "maxResults": 5}	award notices (noticeKind: "award")
Daily digest	{"keywords": ["cloud"], "sinceDays": 2, "onlyNew": true}	only notices not delivered before for these filters

Short output (real record, 4 Nov 2026): {"source": "TED", "publicationNumber": "739674-2026", "title": "Prestations de support de maintenance corrective et évolutive sur les produits SAP BO", "noticeKind": "call", "publicationDate": "2026-10-26", "deadline": "2026-11-30", "buyerName": "Conseil régional Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes", "buyerCountry": "FRA", "cpv": ["72261000"], "estimatedValue": 600000, "currency": "EUR", "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/fr/notice/-/detail/739674-2026"} (full records below; every record also carries attribution and extractedAt).

For AI agents (MCP)

• One call = one answer. Default maxResults is 20 per source; keep it small and raise it only when the run SUMMARY says capped: true. Add translated keywords (software, logiciel) because notices are in many languages.
• Errors fail fast in the form Field X invalid: expected Y, got Z, example W (for example Field countries invalid: expected a 3-letter country code (Code pays), got "FR", example ["FRA", "DEU", "BEL"].). Fix that field and call again; no notice is charged.
• 0 results is not an error. The run succeeds with an empty dataset and the key-value store record SUMMARY carries note: "0 results: <reason / how to widen the search>" (increase sinceDays, set onlyOpen to false, use more general keywords). The note also explains partial results (platform time limit, source error), the cost limit, and truncation (maxResults reached).
• Sources can be skipped: BOAMP is skipped with a CPV filter or minEstimatedValue (it has neither), UK when countries has no GBR; SUMMARY.skipped says so.
• Pricing: pay per delivered notice; set "Maximum cost per run" to cap spending.
• Notices are public-buyer data only (no personal contact data). Keep the attribution field if you redistribute results; always check the official notice (url) before answering a tender.

Monitor new public tenders from official sources: TED (Tenders Electronic Daily, the EU's public procurement journal), BOAMP (France's official bulletin, including contracts below the EU thresholds that TED does not cover) and, as an option, the UK government portals Contracts Finder and Find a Tender.

Independent, unofficial tool that uses the official APIs. This is not an official application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the European Union, the Publications Office, the DILA, the BOAMP or the UK Cabinet Office. It only retrieves the public data they publish through their official TED API and BOAMP open dataset. The stars in the icon only indicate the market whose public data this Actor retrieves.

No scraping of web pages: the Actor uses TED's official API, the BOAMP open dataset and the UK portals' open APIs, so results are stable. No personal contact data is collected (no contact persons, e-mails or phone numbers): only public buyers, subjects, dates and links. A small public buyer may itself be named after a person, as published in the official journal.

Who uses it

• Tender alerts and RFP monitoring: get new calls for tenders matching your keywords or CPV codes every day, without checking three portals.
• Bid and sales teams: find public buyers and upcoming deadlines in your market (IT, consulting, training, engineering, supplies...).
• Market intelligence: follow award notices to see who wins which contracts, at what estimated value, in France, the EU and the UK.
• Data pipelines: feed a CRM, spreadsheet, dashboard or alerting tool through the Apify API, Schedules and Webhooks.

What you get

• Only tenders you can still answer. By default: calls for tenders and design contests whose deadline is not passed (notices without a published deadline are kept). Award notices, modifications and prior-information notices are available as options.
• Filters: keywords, CPV codes, buyer country, French départements, publication period, estimated value (EUR), notice types.
• "New notices only" mode: schedule the Actor every day and receive only notices you have not received before for the same filters.
• Same output for both sources (noticeKind: call, award, modification…), with the keywords actually visible in the notice (matchedKeywords), a clean title, the buyer, dates, deadline, CPV, estimated value when published, and the link to the official notice.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab, pick your keywords and countries.
2. Click Start. Results appear in the Dataset (JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML table).
3. To get a daily digest, create a Schedule and enable New notices only.

Example input – open IT tenders in France and Belgium, daily:

{
  "keywords": ["logiciel", "software", "cloud"],
  "countries": ["FRA", "BEL"],
  "sinceDays": 2,
  "onlyNew": true
}

Example input – open tenders above 500,000 EUR in the EU:

{ "minEstimatedValue": 500000, "sinceDays": 7, "maxResults": 500 }

Example input – open UK tenders mentioning software or cloud (UK source is optional, not in the default sources):

{ "sources": ["UK"], "keywords": ["software", "cloud"], "sinceDays": 7, "minEstimatedValue": 50000 }

Example input – French tenders in Paris and Lyon, BOAMP only:

{ "sources": ["BOAMP"], "departments": ["75", "69"], "keywords": ["formation"], "sinceDays": 5 }

How keywords work

• Several keywords are combined with OR: a notice matching any of them is returned.
• Singular/plural forms, upper/lower case and accents are largely handled by TED (checked on several words, not guaranteed for every word). A multi-word keyword is searched as an exact phrase.
• TED notices exist in several languages: add the equivalents (for example logiciel, software).
• Where to search (TED): "Full text" is broad (a word may appear only in the detail of the contract, and very common words such as application bring noise). "Title only" is precise. matchedKeywords tells you which keywords are visible in the title or description.
• UK: only open calls for tenders are covered (Contracts Finder contract notices and Find a Tender tender notices; the two portals publish different notices, no overlap seen). Keywords are matched in the title and description; minEstimatedValue is read in pounds (GBP) and notices without a published value are dropped; CPV filters work on the CPV codes the notices publish. The UK source is skipped if the countries filter does not include GBR, or if no "call for tenders" type is selected.
• At BOAMP the search always covers the subject of the contract. BOAMP has neither CPV codes nor amounts: with a CPV filter, a CPV exclusion or a minimum value, BOAMP is skipped (the run log says so).

}

Example (BOAMP):

{
  "source": "BOAMP",
  "publicationNumber": "BOAMP-26-106511",
  "title": "EQUIPEMENTS DE PROTECTION INCENDIE (EXTINCTEURS, ROBINETS D'INCENDIE ARMES, PLANS D'EVACUATION…) : ACQUISITION, RENOUVELEMENT, MAINTENANCE ET VERIFICATION",
  "noticeType": "Avis de marché",
  "noticeKind": "call",
  "contractNature": "services",
  "publicationDate": "2026-11-04",
  "deadline": "2026-12-04",
  "buyerName": "Ville de La Rochelle",
  "buyerCountry": "FRA",
  "cpv": [],
  "matchedKeywords": [
    "maintenance"
  ],
  "estimatedValue": null,
  "currency": null,
  "description": null,
  "departments": [
    "17"
  ],
  "descriptors": [
    "Extincteur",
    "Maintenance",
    "Matériel de secours et d'incendie",
    "Sécurité incendie"
  ],
  "procedure": "Procédure Ouverte",
  "url": "https://www.boamp.fr/pages/avis/?q=idweb:26-106511",

  "extractedAt": "2026-11-04T15:00:09.213Z"
}

Not every notice publishes an estimated value or a deadline: those fields are then null. BOAMP notices carry no description text (the source does not provide one): use title, descriptors and the official link.

Pricing and cost control

You pay per delivered notice (see the Pricing tab). Set Maximum cost per run to cap what a run can spend: the Actor never delivers more notices than your limit allows, and with "New notices only" the remaining ones stay new for your next run. If a run is about to hit the platform time limit, it stops searching and delivers what it already has (the log and the SUMMARY record say so).

Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/Shadow-Tools~boamp-ted-open-tenders/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["software"],"countries":["DEU"],"maxResults":50}'

Use Apify Schedules and Webhooks to trigger your own workflows after each run.

Support

Questions, bugs or ideas: please open an Issue on this Actor's page. Replies come in English or French. Include your input (without secrets) and the run link so the problem can be reproduced.

Privacy / GDPR by design

This Actor is deliberately built not to return personal data about natural persons (contact names, e-mails or phone numbers of individuals). This is a design choice made to respect the GDPR.

• No contact fields are requested or read: TED is queried without the contact name / e-mail / phone fields, BOAMP and the UK portals' contact and party details are ignored. Only the buyer organisation name is kept.
• E-mail addresses and phone numbers that appear in the free-text title and description are replaced by [e-mail removed] / [phone removed].
• Not guaranteed: free text can still mention a person's name (for example a named contact in a title), and a buyer can be a small body named after a person. The masking is pattern-based and may miss unusual formats. You remain responsible for your own use of the data.
• The Actor stores nothing about you beyond your run's own dataset and logs on Apify.

Limits

• TED limits request rates; the Actor retries automatically. Very large requests may return partial results (stated in the log).
• maxResults applies per source (up to 5,000). If more notices match, the log shows the total announced so you can raise the limit.
