TED EU Procurement Scraper

Scrape public procurement notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official platform for EU public procurement. Extract tender details including buyer information, deadlines, estimated values, CPV codes, and contract awards across all EU/EEA member states.

How to scrape EU public procurement data from TED

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the official journal for European public procurement. It publishes around 700,000 procurement notices per year from all EU member states plus EEA countries. This actor lets you search and extract structured data from these notices programmatically.

What is TED?

TED is run by the Publications Office of the European Union. All public contracts above certain thresholds in the EU must be published here. This includes:

• Public works contracts
• Supply contracts
• Service contracts
• Concession contracts
• Design contests

The data is essential for businesses looking for government contract opportunities, market researchers analyzing public spending, and journalists investigating procurement patterns.

Tips

• Use broad keywords for more results (e.g., "software" instead of "cloud-native microservices platform")
• CPV codes are hierarchical: 72000000 covers all IT, while 72310000 is specifically data processing
• Contract awards contain winner information, useful for competitive analysis
• Combine country filter with CPV code for highly targeted results
• The daysBack parameter helps focus on recent opportunities

Limitations

• TED occasionally changes its page structure, which may temporarily affect parsing
• Some fields may be empty if not available in the notice listing
• Full notice text requires following the URL to the detail page
• Historical notices older than 5 years may not be available
