Who uses it

• Companies that sell to governments — a daily list of new tenders in your sector and countries, before your competitors see them.
• Bid writers, tender consultants & agencies — one alert per client with a memory name each.
• Sales & business development — awards show who just won a contract (= new budget, new supplier needs); buyers show who buys what.
• Market & competitor research — who wins which contracts, at what value, in which country.
• Tender portals, newsletters & SaaS — feed your platform with clean, structured notices.
• NGOs, universities & researchers — US federal grants and EU procurement data in one export.

How to use it

1. Keywords — e.g. software, cyber security, cleaning services, solar panels, translation. Empty = everything (then use the filters).
2. Sources — EU TED, UK Find a Tender, UK Contracts Finder, SAM.gov (and Grants.gov for grants).
3. Notice types — open tenders, planned / upcoming, contract awards.
4. Filters (optional): buyer countries (DE, FR, ES, GB, US…), CPV codes (72000000 = all IT services), NAICS codes (541511), minimum / maximum value, published in the last N days, only open.
5. Run → export to CSV, Excel, JSON or Google Sheets, or connect it to Slack, email, Make, Zapier or n8n.

Daily tender alerts in 2 minutes

1. Set your keywords / CPV / countries, Published in the last N days = 2 and turn on Only new notices.
2. Save it as a task and add a daily schedule.
3. Add an integration: email, Slack or Google Sheets — you get only the notices you have not seen yet.

Use a different Memory name per client or project so each alert has its own memory.

Pricing

$3 per 1,000 notices (pay per event: you pay only for the notices saved, nothing for empty searches or errors). Example: a daily alert that finds 30 new notices costs about $0.09 a day. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the scraper stops right there.

Tips

• Too many results? Add CPV codes or countries, raise the minimum value, or use more specific keywords ("cloud migration" instead of cloud).
• CPV codes include their children: 72000000 returns every IT services code (72200000, 72267000…). For the UK sources the check is done on every lot's codes.
• Keywords on EU TED also search the original-language text, so a notice written in German or Polish is found by its English CPV heading too. Add words in the local language for full coverage (Software, logiciel, oprogramowanie).
• SAM.gov values: federal opportunities rarely publish an estimated value; awards do (awardValue). Keep "Keep notices without a published value" on when you filter by value.
• Planned / upcoming notices (prior information notices, presolicitations, sources sought, UK pipeline notices) give you weeks of head start.

FAQ

Is this data legal to use? Yes. All sources are official open data: EU TED is published by the Publications Office of the EU for free reuse, including commercial reuse; UK notices are under the Open Government Licence v3.0; SAM.gov and Grants.gov are US federal public data. The scraper only reads public notices — no login, no personal accounts.

Do I need a SAM.gov API key? No.

How fresh is it? Live: every run asks the sources directly. TED publishes on working days, the UK and US sources continuously.

Can I get older notices? Up to the last 365 days per run.

Something missing or broken? Open an issue in the Issues tab — I answer quickly and add sources on request.
