EU TED Tenders Scraper – Public Procurement & Tender Alerts

TED Tenders Scraper: EU public procurement and tender alerts

Who it's for: companies that bid for public contracts in Europe (IT, consulting, construction, medical, facilities and more), bid managers, tender-alert resellers and market analysts.

What you get: EU tenders published on TED: calls for tenders, contract awards and other EU public procurement notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official EU journal where every above-threshold public tender in the EU, EEA and partner countries is published. Each notice becomes a clean, English-first row with buyer, country, CPV code and label, estimated or awarded value in EUR, tender deadline, winners, and links to the notice, PDF, documents and e-submission. An optional one-line English summary tells you in a sentence what is being bought. Schedule it daily with delta mode for tender alerts that cost $4 per 1,000 notices.

Data comes from the official, open TED Search API, with no browser and no login.

Quick start

1. Click Try for free. Defaults are a cheap sample (keyword software, contract notices, last 7 days, one-line English summary on, 10 results ≈ $0.04). No fields are required — just click Start.
2. Narrow it down with CPV codes (e.g. 72 = all IT services), keywords, countries, notice type ("Contract notice" for open calls you can bid on) and minimum value in EUR. Raise Max results for bigger pulls.
3. Tick Only open tenders to keep notices whose deadline hasn't passed. Summary is already on by default (free).
4. Click Start, then export to Excel, CSV or JSON, or push rows to Google Sheets, Slack or your CRM.
5. For a daily alert, turn on Delta mode and add a schedule.

Sample input (about $0.04 — same as the Try defaults):

{
  "keywords": ["software"],
  "noticeTypes": ["competition"],
  "addSummary": true,
  "maxResults": 10
}

Award notices also carry winners. For example, from the same day: "Contract awarded: JUDETUL VRANCEA(CONSILIUL JUDETEAN) (Romania) awarded bridge construction work (CPV 45221110) … awarded value €5.9M, open procedure, 2 lots. Winners: CRISTILORY PROD; S.C. TROIA PREMIUM CONSTRUCT S.R.L.; S.C. VALLYS DECO S.R.L."

How much does it cost?

Pay per result, with no subscription:

• $0.004 per notice saved, which is $4 per 1,000 notices.
• Plus Apify's tiny Actor start fee (about $0.00005 per run). Platform compute is included.
• Notices removed by the value filter, or skipped by delta mode, are free.
• The summary option costs nothing extra.

Use case	Typical cost
Default sample (maxResults: 10)	about $0.04
Larger pull with maxResults: 100	$0.40
Daily alert whose filters match about 20 new notices a day	about $2.40 a month (20 × 30 × $0.004)
One-off market study of 5,000 award notices	$20

Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly usage, enough for about 1,250 notices a month. Cap spending with Max results or Apify's maximum cost per run.

Integrations

• Export to Excel, CSV, JSON, XML or HTML.
• Google Sheets, Slack, email, Airtable, HubSpot through Apify integrations, Make, Zapier or n8n.
• Webhooks when a run finishes.
• API and JavaScript/Python clients (see the API tab).
• AI agents through the Apify MCP server, for example "find open cybersecurity tenders in Poland over €200K".

Tips

• TED publishes Monday to Friday. A daily morning schedule with delta mode catches every new notice.
• CPV matching is hierarchical: 45 covers all construction work and 72 covers all IT services.
• Many notices publish no value, so a minimum value filter drops them. Leave it empty for maximum coverage.
• Use Contract award notice with your competitors' CPV codes to see who wins and at what price.

FAQ

What is TED?

Tenders Electronic Daily is the online version of the Supplement to the Official Journal of the EU. Public buyers must publish tenders above EU thresholds there, so it covers most large public contracts in the EU and EEA.

Is it legal to reuse TED data?

Yes. Under the European Commission's reuse policy, procurement notices published in the Supplement to the Official Journal can be freely reused for commercial or non-commercial purposes. TED's editorial content is licensed under CC BY 4.0, which requires credit and an indication of changes. Every row carries a source attribution stating that the data comes from TED (© European Union) and has been normalised. Only notices published in the Official Journal are authentic, so always check the official notice before you bid. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Publications Office of the EU, and it does not use the TED logo.

How does it respect TED fair use?

It calls only the official public Search API, fetches up to 250 notices per request and by default makes at most 2 requests per second, far below TED's 700 requests per minute fair-use limit. It backs off politely on rate-limit errors.

Are the EUR values exact?

No. They are converted with the latest ECB euro reference rates. totalValue and currency always keep the original amount. For calls for tenders the value is the buyer's estimate; for award notices it's the awarded total (valueType).

Is the summary written by AI?

No. It is assembled from the notice's own fields (notice type, buyer, CPV label, value, procedure, deadline, winners) by fixed rules, so it is instant, free and cannot hallucinate. Original-language titles are quoted with their language code.

Why did I get 0 results?

Filters combine with AND. Widen the date window, remove the value filter or use a broader CPV prefix. In delta mode, notices you already received are skipped.

Personal data

TED notices are official records about organisations. This Actor does not request contact persons, emails or phone numbers. Your results could still contain personal data, for example a sole trader named as a winner. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the EU and by other laws worldwide. Don't process it without a legitimate reason; if unsure, consult a lawyer.
