EU TED Tenders Search — public procurement notices, official API

Search every public tender published in the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) by keyword, buyer country, CPV code, notice type and date — and get clean, structured JSON or CSV. Find new bids to respond to, monitor competitors' awards, or build a procurement dashboard.

Why this Actor

• Official source, no key. Uses the European Commission's public TED Search API (v3). No browser, no proxies, no API key, no CAPTCHAs.
• Multilingual data made simple. TED returns every title as a dictionary of 24 languages and every lot as a parallel array. This Actor picks one clean title, buyer and deadline per notice, sums lot values (only when they share a currency) and exposes direct links to the notice page, PDF and XML.
• Incremental monitoring. Set Published in the last N days and schedule the Actor daily to receive only new notices. Notices are de-duplicated and only the latest version of each is returned.
• Powerful filters. Full-text keywords in any EU language, ISO country codes (DE or DEU), CPV codes or CPV branches (72 = all IT services), notice types, contract nature (supplies / services / works) and open for submissions only.
• Reliable. Retries on rate limits and server errors, clear errors for invalid queries.

Use cases

• Bid teams: a daily list of new tenders matching your CPV codes and countries.
• Market research: who buys what, where and for how much.
• Competitor and award tracking with can-* notices.
• Feeding procurement data to dashboards, spreadsheets or AI agents (works via the Apify MCP server).

Limits

• estimatedValue is only present when the buyer published it, so many notices have null.
• Only notices published on TED are covered (above-threshold EU procurement); national below-threshold tenders are not.
• maxItems defaults to 100; raise it for bulk runs.
• Not affiliated with the European Union. Source: TED — Tenders Electronic Daily (© European Union). Notices may be reused for commercial or non-commercial purposes under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the original notices published on TED remain the legal reference.

Pricing

Free to use — you only pay Apify's standard platform usage, which is tiny because this Actor calls an official API directly (no browser, no proxies).
