German Public Tenders (Ausschreibungen) – Search & Excel Export

Find public contracts in Germany you can still bid on – fill in a simple form, get a clean table, download it as Excel or CSV. No scraping, no XML, no coding.

The data comes from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official EU procurement journal, plus the national tenders below the EU thresholds from the German federal notice service – the many smaller contracts of municipalities, districts and federal states that TED does not contain (about 4 times as many open calls). Updated daily, deduplicated and enriched with a short AI summary in plain German, a category and keywords.

What you can do with it

• Search by keyword – the search understands German compound words: reinigung also finds Unterhaltsreinigung. Use OR for alternatives (photovoltaik OR solar) and quotes for phrases.
• Filter by federal state (Bayern, NRW, Sachsen, ...) and category (IT & Software, Bau & Handwerk, Reinigung & Facility, Entsorgung & Abfall, Sicherheit & Bewachung, ...). Select several at once.
• Only open calls by default – tenders whose deadline has not passed. Contract awards ("who won what") and prior information notices are available too.
• Skip tight deadlines with Minimum days until deadline.
• Choose the source: all tenders, only EU-wide (TED) or only national tenders below the EU thresholds.
• Daily alerts: schedule the Actor (e.g. every morning) and turn on Only new since last run – each run delivers only tenders you have not seen yet. Connect it to email, Slack, Google Sheets or Zapier/Make via Apify integrations.
• Use it from AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, ...) through Apify's MCP server.

Typical users

• Construction, IT, cleaning, facility, waste management, security and consulting companies looking for new contracts
• Sales teams building a lead list of public buyers
• Consultants and tender services monitoring the market for clients
• Analysts researching public spending in Germany (use notice type Contract awards)
