EU & UK Tenders Scraper: TED public procurement + UK Contracts Finder government contracts (with AI fit scoring)

Monitor public procurement in 27 EU countries + EEA (TED) and the UK (Contracts Finder) in one feed. Filter by keyword, CPV code, country, notice stage, value and date. You can switch on "only new since last run" for daily alerts. An optional AI layer summarises each notice and scores how well it fits your company profile.

Why this Actor

• One schema for two official sources. TED Search API v3 and the UK Contracts Finder OCDS feed are normalised into the same fields: title, buyer, country, CPV, value, deadline, stage, links.
• Built for scheduling. onlyNew remembers what it already delivered, so a daily schedule sends only fresh notices to Slack, e-mail or a CRM via Apify integrations.
• AI bid/no-bid triage (optional, bring your own key). You get a plain-English summary, a category and a 0–100 fit score against your companyProfile. This works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
• You pay per result. You can cap spend with the run's max-charge setting.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for results (pay per event). There is no separate compute charge, and you can cap any run with Max total charge.

Scenario	Cost
40 tender notices (one example run)	40 × $0.004 = $0.16
Daily alert for one niche, ~15 new notices/day	450 × $0.004 = $1.80 / month
Same, with AI bid/no-bid fit score (your own LLM key)	+ 450 × $0.01 = +$4.50 / month

A tiny "Actor start" event (about $0.00005) is also charged once per run.

Use it from your code or tools

Run it and get the results in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/Tendoyo~eu-uk-tenders-radar/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"keywords": ["cybersecurity"], "countries": ["DE", "FR"], "daysBack": 1, "onlyNew": true}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("Tendoyo/eu-uk-tenders-radar").call(run_input={"keywords": ["cybersecurity"], "countries": ["DE", "FR"], "daysBack": 1, "onlyNew": true})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

To get alerts, add a Schedule (for example daily at 07:00) with onlyNew: true where available. Then connect Slack, e-mail, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n or a webhook in the Integrations tab. It also works with AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Which countries are covered? All countries publishing on TED (EU-27, EEA and others above EU thresholds) plus the UK via Contracts Finder. Use countries with ISO codes such as DE, FR, UK.

Do I get expired tenders? Not by default. With stage: competition, notices whose submission deadline has already passed are skipped (excludeExpired, on by default). Notices without a published deadline are kept.

Can I get only new notices every day? Yes. Set onlyNew: true and add a schedule; each notice is delivered once. Connect Slack, e-mail, Google Sheets or a webhook through Apify integrations.

Are titles translated? TED titles are returned in English where TED provides one; the original-language title is kept in titleOriginal. The optional AI layer writes an English summary for every notice.

How do I search by sector instead of keywords? Use cpvPrefixes, e.g. ["72"] for IT services, ["48"] for software packages, ["79"] for business services.
