Clean JSON output: buyer, title, value, deadline, direct notice URL. No proxies needed — official data source. - **URL**: https://apify.com/tender.intelligence/eu-tenders-ted.md - **Developed by:** [Sohaib Ahmaddouch](https://apify.com/tender.intelligence) (community) - **Categories:** Lead generation, Automation, Jobs - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $4.00 / 1,000 tender records This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 Tenders Scraper — TED Public Procurement Data Extract **live EU public procurement tenders** from [TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)](https://ted.europa.eu) — the official journal where every European government contract above threshold must be published. Filter by **CPV code, country, publication date and submission deadline**, and get clean, structured JSON ready for lead generation, bid monitoring, market research or BI dashboards. No proxies, no fragile HTML scraping: this Actor uses the official TED Search API (EU open data), so results are complete, legal and stable. ### What you get per tender | Field | Example | |---|---| | `title` | "Netherlands – IT services – Application management" | | `buyer` | "Gemeente Purmerend" | | `estimatedValue` / `currency` | 275000 / EUR | | `submissionDeadline` | 2026-08-19 | | `publishedDate` | 2026-06-16 | | `cpv` | 72000000 | | `countries` | NLD | | `noticeUrl` | direct link to the official notice | ### Use cases - **Sales & lead generation** — find companies' next opportunities before competitors do; feed tender alerts into your CRM or outbound tooling - **Bid / tender monitoring** — track every open tender in your industry (CPV) and countries with a scheduled run - **Market & competitor research** — analyze public-sector spending by sector, country and buyer - **Data products & dashboards** — pipe EU procurement data into Google Sheets, BigQuery, Power BI or your app via the Apify API ### How to use 1. Enter one or more **CPV codes** (e.g. `72000000` for IT services, `45000000` for construction, `33000000` for medical equipment) 2. Pick **countries** (ISO-3: `NLD`, `BEL`, `DEU`, `FRA`, …) or leave empty for all EU 3. Keep **"Only open deadlines"** on to get only tenders you can still bid on 4. Run once, or **schedule it** (daily/weekly) for continuous tender monitoring Advanced users can pass a raw TED expert query to unlock any filter the TED API supports (buyer name, notice type, award criteria and more). ### Common CPV codes `72000000` IT services · `45000000` construction · `79000000` business services · `33000000` medical equipment · `90000000` environmental · `71000000` architecture/engineering · `80000000` education · `60000000` transport · `50000000` repair/maintenance · `48000000` software packages ### Why TED data matters The EU public procurement market is worth **€2+ trillion per year**. Every above-threshold contract from all 27 EU member states — plus EU institutions (Europol, EIB, agencies) — is published on TED in 24 languages. Most companies never systematically monitor it. The ones that do, win. ### Related Works great together with scheduled runs + the Apify Google Sheets integration for a zero-code tender-alert pipeline. # Actor input Schema ## `cpvCodes` (type: `array`): Common Procurement Vocabulary codes to filter by. Examples: 72000000 (IT services), 45000000 (construction), 79000000 (business services), 33000000 (medical equipment), 90000000 (environmental services). One code per line. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Place-of-performance country codes, e.g. NLD, BEL, DEU, FRA, LUX, ESP, ITA, POL, SWE. One per line. Leave empty for all EU. ## `publishedAfter` (type: `string`): Only notices published after this date, e.g. 20260601. Leave empty for no publication-date filter. ## `onlyOpenDeadlines` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, only returns tenders whose submission deadline is still open (recommended for lead generation and bid monitoring). ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many result pages to fetch. 1 page = up to 100 notices. ## `rawQuery` (type: `string`): Optional: override all filters above with a raw TED expert-search query, e.g. (classification-cpv IN (72000000)) AND (place-of-performance IN (NLD)). ## Actor input object example ```json { "cpvCodes": [ "72000000" ], "countries": [ "NLD", "BEL", "LUX" ], "onlyOpenDeadlines": true, "maxPages": 2 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
