EU Tenders API: TED Public Procurement Notices

What does EU Tenders API do?

European public tenders (EU tenders), calls for competition, prior information notices and contract awards from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official EU journal for public procurement, for all EU and EEA countries. Filter by keyword, buyer country, CPV code and deadline, and get one clean record per notice. Turn on only new since the last run and schedule it, and you have a European tender alert feed that costs cents. Bid teams, consultants, market researchers and AI agents use it to track public contracts across Europe without searching TED by hand. No API key needed.

What you get

• Title in your language (TED translates titles into all 24 EU languages), description, buyer name, city and country, and links to the notice page and PDF.
• Notice type grouped the way buyers think about it: open calls, planning (prior information) and results (awards).
• Publication date, tender deadline and days left until the deadline.
• Procedure type, contract nature (works, supplies, services), CPV codes and place of performance (NUTS codes).
• Estimated value and currency, total value, and for awards the winning suppliers.
• Only-new delivery for scheduled runs: you never pay twice for the same notice.
• Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, send to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook, or call it as a tool from AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

How much does it cost?

You pay per tender notice saved, with no monthly fee: $2.50 per 1,000 tender notices on Apify's free plan, and 10–40% less on paid Apify plans. Each run also costs $0.001 to start. Apify's free plan includes $5 of credit every month, enough for about 2,000 tender notices. Prices as of October 2026; the price shown on this page is the one that applies.

Use	Tender notices	Cost on the free plan
One search	100	about $0.25
Daily alert for one sector, about 50 new notices a day	about 1,500 a month	about $3.75 a month
90 days of awards in your sector	2,000	about $5.00

Set Maximum cost per run to cap any run; the Actor stops cleanly at the cap and keeps everything it saved.

Tender alerts: only new since the last run

1. Set your filters and turn on Only new since the last run (tender alerts).
2. Save it as a task and add an Apify Schedule (for example every weekday at 07:00).
3. Connect the output: Apify's built-in Slack and email notifications, a webhook, or Make, Zapier and n8n to push each new tender into Google Sheets, a CRM or a Teams channel.

Each run returns only notices that earlier runs with the same filters have not delivered, newest first, so you pay only for what is new. TED never edits a published notice (a correction is a new notice), so nothing is missed. The first run returns everything that matches. If a run stops at your maximum results or spending limit, the rest is delivered next time. The memory is kept per set of filters, so separate tasks never interfere.

Missing values are null (or an empty list). Dates are ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). estimatedValue is the value for the whole procedure, or for the single lot when only one lot value is given; it is never summed or guessed. daysToDeadline counts whole days from the run to the end of the first lot's deadline day (UTC).

Use it from AI agents

Add the Actor to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tabulary/eu-ted-tenders). Ask in plain language, for example: "List open EU tenders for cloud hosting from Dutch and Belgian buyers that close in the next 30 days." The agent fills in the input and gets structured records back.

Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tabulary~eu-ted-tenders/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": "software", "countries": ["DEU"], "publishedWithinDays": 7, "maxItems": 50}'

The same works with the Apify Python and JavaScript clients. See the API tab for details.

Data source and limits

• Source: the official TED Search API, which allows anonymous search of published notices for analysis and reuse. Reuse is subject to the TED legal notice; the source is the Publications Office of the European Union.
• Coverage: notices that EU and EEA public buyers must publish in TED, mostly contracts above the EU thresholds. Smaller national contracts often appear only on national portals.
• Keyword search uses TED's full-text index, so a phrase can match text in any part of the notice, in any language.
• One run returns at most 10,000 notices (maxItems). For bigger pulls, split by country, CPV code or period.
• The Actor sends at most about one request per second, identifies itself, and backs off when TED asks it to.
• No personal contact data: contact-person, email and phone fields are never requested, and email addresses or phone numbers that buyers type into a title or description are replaced with [email removed] or [phone removed]. Otherwise text is copied as published.
• Not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Union or the Publications Office.

FAQ

Is this data official? Yes. It comes from TED's own API. Only field names and formatting change, and contact details in free text are masked.

How fresh is it? Every run fetches live data, so notices appear as soon as TED publishes them (TED publishes on working days).

How do I get new tenders every morning? Turn on only-new delivery, save the input as a task and schedule it (see Tender alerts).

Does it include the UK? UK buyers stopped publishing in TED after Brexit. For UK tenders, use UK Tenders API.

Why is the description in another language? TED translates titles automatically but keeps descriptions in the language the buyer used. Pick your language for titles with language.

Can I get buyer contact details? No. The Actor deliberately leaves out personal contact data. Each record links to the official notice, which shows how to respond.

Something broke? Open an issue on the Issues tab. The Actor is tested daily.
