German Public Contract Awards – Competitors & Market

Who wins public contracts in Germany – and at what price? Fill in a simple form and get a clean table of contract awards or a ranking of the winning companies. Download it as Excel or CSV, or schedule it to get notified whenever a competitor wins a contract. No scraping, no XML, no coding.

The data comes from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the EU's official procurement journal: more than 60,000 German contract award notices from the last 12 months, updated daily, with company names cleaned up so that spelling variants (Drees & Sommer SE / GmbH / und) count as one company.

What you can do with it

1. Contract awards – who won what, at what price

One row per award notice: title, buyer, federal state, category, award date, contract value, number of bids, procedure type and the winning companies.

• Track competitors: enter their names under Winners (e.g. Bechtle, Drees & Sommer) to get every contract they won.
• Competitor alerts: turn on Only new since last run and schedule the Actor daily or weekly – each run delivers only new awards. Connect it to email, Slack or Google Sheets via Apify integrations.
• Price research before you bid: what did similar contracts cost, and how many companies bid?

2. Company ranking – who wins in this market

One row per company, ranked by number of awards won or by contract value: "Who are the top cleaning companies in North Rhine-Westphalia?" or "Who supplies IT to public buyers in Bavaria?"

Each run also saves a market summary (record MARKET_SUMMARY) for the same filters: number of awards, known contract volume, median price, average number of bids, share of single-bid awards, SME share among winners, procedure types, top buyers and a monthly trend.

Filters

Search terms (German, compound words work: reinigung finds Unterhaltsreinigung), federal states and categories (select several), CPV codes (e.g. 72, 48 for IT), buyer name, award date range and contract value range.

Typical users

• Companies bidding for public contracts – construction, IT, cleaning, facility, security, consulting, waste management
• Sales and business development teams looking for buyers and competitors
• Consultants and tender services analysing markets for their clients
• Analysts and journalists researching public spending in Germany

Pricing

You pay only per delivered row (award or company). Set Maximum results to control the cost of each run; with Only new since last run a scheduled competitor alert usually delivers just a few rows.

Good to know

• Coverage: Germany, contract award notices published on TED in the last 12 months – mainly contracts above the EU thresholds. Smaller national awards not published on TED are not included.
• Contract values are not disclosed for every award (roughly half include one). Value filters and sums only use known values.
• For awards with several winners (framework agreements, lots), TED does not state each winner's share. Company values therefore only count awards won as the sole winner.
• Companies are matched by cleaned-up name. Branches with their own name (e.g. … IT-Systemhaus Hamburg) appear as separate companies.
• Always verify details in the official notice (url) – this is a data service, not legal advice.
