EU Tenders Scraper (TED Procurement)

Scrape EU public procurement tenders and contract awards from the official TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) API — filtered by CPV category, country, buyer, value, and date — as clean, AI-ready JSON. No API key required. The EU publishes ~€2 trillion of procurement a year through TED; this Actor turns it into a structured, filterable feed.

What does this Actor do?

• 📋 Tender notices & contract awards — title, buyer, country, publication date, submission deadline, value, CPV codes
• 🏷️ Filter by CPV category — IT (72…), construction (45…), business services (79…), and any other Common Procurement Vocabulary code
• 🌍 Filter by country — DEU, FRA, IRL, POL, ESP… any EU member state
• 🔎 Keyword & notice-type filters — open tenders (cn-standard), awards (can-standard), prior info (pin-only)
• 🔗 Direct link to each notice + XML source
• 🌐 English-normalized — picks the English title/buyer name from TED's multilingual data
• 🤖 AI-ready JSON — for tender-alert tools, CRM enrichment, market research, and AI agents (via the Apify MCP server)

Why scrape TED?

EU public procurement is a massive, high-value market, but TED's raw interface is hard to monitor. Vendors, consultancies, construction/IT/services firms, and bid-management teams use this Actor to:

• Get alerted to new tenders in their category and country as they publish
• Feed opportunities into a CRM or bid pipeline automatically
• Analyze contract awards — who's winning, at what value, in which markets
• Track competitors and buyer spending patterns
• Power AI agents that watch for relevant public-sector opportunities

Finding CPV codes

CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes classify what's being procured. A prefix matches all subcategories — 72 catches all IT, 45 all construction. Full list: SIMAP CPV. Common ones: 72000000 IT services, 45000000 construction, 79000000 business services, 85000000 health/social, 48000000 software packages.

How much does it cost?

Pay per notice returned — a small fee each. A single won tender can be worth millions, so the ROI is high. No subscription.
