Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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 ## EU Procurement Award Radar — Who Won Which Tender Most procurement scrapers show you open calls — tenders you could still bid on. This one shows you the opposite: **who already won**. Give it a country, a sector (CPV code or keyword), and a lookback window, and it returns real AWARD notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — buyer, winner, award value, currency, CPV code — and, where the winner's country has a matching registry in our fleet, its official registration number and status. This is a lead-generation feed, not a bidding tool. If you sell to companies that just won public contracts (subcontractors, insurers, financiers, competitors doing market intelligence), this is the list of who just got the money. ### What it does - **Only award notices, never open calls.** The actor queries TED for eForms notice types `can-standard` and `can-social` — genuine "Contract Award Notice" documents — not `cn-standard` (open call for tenders) or `pin-standard` (prior information). A tender that's still open never shows up here. - **Real winner identity, not a buyer-only feed.** TED's search API exposes `winner-name`, `winner-country`, `winner-city`, and `winner-decision-date` fields for award notices, but none of our five existing procurement scraper actors (TED, Belgian, Dutch, Norwegian, EU Funding & Tenders) request or output them — verified by reading their source before building this. This actor queries TED directly for the fields that actually carry the winner's name. - **Registry-enriched where cheap.** For each award lead, the actor optionally calls our own `eu-dealer-counterparty-check` meta-actor with the winner's name and country, and attaches the winner's official registration number, registry status (active/dissolved/insolvent/unknown), and match confidence. Covers winners in DE, FR, GB, PL, IT, ES, CH, NO, SE, CZ, NL — the countries our registry fleet supports. - **Pan-EU/EEA coverage from one source.** TED covers every EU/EEA member state plus the UK for above-threshold public contracts, so this actor doesn't need a separate scraper per country. - **Multi-lot notices handled honestly.** When a notice has more than one winner (common for framework agreements split into lots), the first winner becomes `winner` and the rest land in `additionalWinners` — nothing is silently dropped, nothing is faked into a false 1:1 alignment TED's own flat API doesn't actually guarantee. ### How to scrape EU procurement award data 1. Leave every filter empty to get the broadest feed: all EU/EEA + UK award notices published in the last 21 days, most recent first. 2. Narrow by **countries** (buyer's country — the contracting authority, not the winner) to focus on one or a few markets. 3. Narrow by **CPV code** (e.g. `72000000` for IT services, `45000000` for construction) to focus on a sector, or by **searchQuery** for a free-text keyword match on the notice title/description. 4. Set **daysBack** — TED publishes thousands of award notices a week across the EU, so 14–21 days is usually plenty of volume even for a narrow filter. 5. Leave **enrichWinners** on (default) to get the winner's registration number and status where available. Turn it off for a faster, cheaper run if you only need the raw TED data. 6. Run it. Each row is one award lead: who won, from whom, for how much, and (where enriched) their registry status. ### Input options | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `searchQuery` | string | Free-text filter on notice title/description. Empty = all sectors. | | `countries` | array | Buyer (contracting authority) country filter, ISO2 codes. Empty = all EU/EEA + UK. | | `cpvCode` | string | CPV sector code filter, e.g. `72000000`. Empty = all sectors. | | `daysBack` | integer | Award-notice publication lookback window. Default `21`. | | `maxResults` | integer | Max award leads to return. Default `20`. | | `enrichWinners` | boolean | Registry-enrich each winner via `eu-dealer-counterparty-check`. Default `true`. | | `maxEnrichments` | integer | Cap on how many winners get enriched per run (bounds cost/runtime). Default `3`. | | `timeoutPerEnrichmentSecs` | integer | Timeout per registry-enrichment call. Default `60`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Only needed as a fallback — TED's v3 API is a public, open endpoint queried directly by default. | ### Output fields | Field | Example | Description | |---|---|---| | `noticeId` | `"503731-2026"` | TED publication number | | `tenderTitle` | `"Italy – Business and management consultancy services – ..."` | | | `buyer` | `"Giunta Regionale"` | Contracting authority | | `country` | `"IT"` | Buyer's country (ISO2) | | `winner` | `"KPMG Advisory S.p.A."` | Primary winning company | | `additionalWinners` | `["BAGGER BS s.r.o."]` | Other winners on the same notice (multi-lot awards), if any | | `winnerCountry` | `"IT"` | Winner's country, where TED reports it | | `winnerCity` | `"Milano"` | | | `winnerRegId` | `null` or a registry number | From registry enrichment, when available | | `winnerRegStatus` | `"active"` | From registry enrichment | | `winnerConfidence` | `"medium"` | Registry match confidence — see `eu-dealer-counterparty-check` for the scale | | `awardValue` | `1328850` | | | `currency` | `"EUR"` | | | `awardDate` | `"2026-07-16"` | Winner decision date, or notice publication date as fallback | | `cpvCode` | `"79410000"` | Primary CPV code | | `cpvCodes` | `["79410000"]` | Full CPV code list on the notice | | `url` | `"https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/503731-2026"` | | | `source` | `"TED"` | | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp | | ### Example output ```json { "recordType": "award_lead", "noticeId": "503731-2026", "tenderTitle": "Italy – Business and management consultancy services – Servizio di assistenza professionale per attività concernenti il piano di sviluppo strategico della Zona Logistica Semplificata della Regione Lazio", "buyer": "Giunta Regionale", "country": "IT", "winner": "KPMG Advisory S.p.A.", "additionalWinners": [], "winnerCountry": "IT", "winnerCity": "Milano", "winnerRegId": null, "winnerRegStatus": "active", "winnerConfidence": "medium", "awardValue": 1328850, "currency": "EUR", "awardDate": "2026-07-16", "cpvCode": "79410000", "cpvCodes": ["79410000"], "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/503731-2026", "source": "TED", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-21T13:15:49.330Z" } ```` ### Cost estimate Priced at $0.02 per award lead (pay-per-event, plus a small actor-start fee). Registry enrichment is included in that price where it succeeds — there is no separate enrichment charge. ### Zero results is sometimes correct If your filter (a rare country + narrow CPV + a keyword) genuinely matches zero award notices in the lookback window, the actor does not fail. It pushes a single `run_status` row documenting the filter and the fact that TED was reachable and scanned successfully. A run only fails when TED itself couldn't be reached — that's the real "something is broken" signal, not a narrow query returning nothing. ### Limitations - **Winner identity depends on what TED itself received from the buyer.** A small share of award notices are published without a machine-readable winner name (direct-award justifications, redacted notices) — those are skipped, they never appear as a lead. Roughly a handful in every hundred scanned, based on live testing. - **Registry enrichment only covers 11 countries** (DE, FR, GB, PL, IT, ES, CH, NO, SE, CZ, NL) — the same set `eu-dealer-counterparty-check` supports. Winners elsewhere (e.g. Croatia, Poland's neighbors outside that list) come back with `winnerRegId: null`. - **Multi-lot notices are not perfectly lot-aligned.** TED's search API returns winner-name/winner-country/winner-city as flat arrays per notice, not grouped per lot — when a notice has multiple winners, only the first is guaranteed correctly paired with its country/city; the rest are listed in `additionalWinners` by name only. Getting exact lot-level pairing would require parsing each notice's full XML, out of scope for this feed. - **Award value can be missing** for notices where TED's `result-value-notice` field wasn't published (falls back to `total-value`, the pre-award estimate, when available — otherwise `null`). - **This actor calls a child actor** (`eu-dealer-counterparty-check`) for enrichment — a Store account restriction on that actor would degrade enrichment coverage but never breaks the core award feed, which is 100% TED-direct. ### Related scrapers `ted-eu-procurement-scraper` (open calls + general notices, all EU/EEA), `belgian-procurement-scraper`, `doffin-scraper` (Norway), `tenderned-scraper` (Netherlands), `eu-funding-tenders-scraper` (EU grants + tenders portal), `eu-dealer-counterparty-check` (the registry enrichment engine behind this actor's `winnerRegId`/`winnerRegStatus`), `eu-fresh-company-radar` (newly registered EU companies). # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text filter on the notice title/description (e.g. 'software', 'construction', 'catering'). Leave empty to get all recent award notices unfiltered — the broadest and safest default. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Only return awards where the CONTRACTING AUTHORITY (buyer) is in one of these countries. Leave empty for all EU/EEA + UK member states. ## `cpvCode` (type: `string`): Restrict to one CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) code, e.g. 72000000 for IT services or 45000000 for construction. Leave empty for all sectors. ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): How many days of award-notice publication history to scan. TED publishes thousands of award notices per week across the EU, so 14-21 days is usually plenty. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of award leads (one per notice with an identified winner) to return. ## `enrichWinners` (type: `boolean`): For each award lead, call our EU Dealer Counterparty Check actor to look up the winning company's registration number and status in its national registry. Supported winner countries: DE, FR, GB, PL, IT, ES, CH, NO, SE, CZ, NL. Adds one extra child-actor call per enriched lead. ## `maxEnrichments` (type: `integer`): Caps how many winners get a registry lookup in one run (bounds runtime and child-actor cost). Leads beyond this cap are still returned, just without winnerRegId/winnerRegStatus. ## `timeoutPerEnrichmentSecs` (type: `integer`): How long to wait for each registry-enrichment child-actor call before giving up on that winner. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): TED's v3 search API is a public, open data endpoint that does not block direct traffic, so this actor queries it directly without a proxy by default. This is only used as a fallback if TED's direct API becomes unreachable from Apify's infrastructure. ## Actor input object example ```json { "countries": [], "daysBack": 21, "maxResults": 20, "enrichWinners": true, "maxEnrichments": 3, "timeoutPerEnrichmentSecs": 60, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
