Tenders Search – EU Public Procurement & TED Tenders API

Tenders search for EU public procurement. Search and monitor every EU public procurement tender published on TED – Tenders Electronic Daily, the official EU journal for public contracts (~€700 billion/year, all 27 EU member states + EEA, Switzerland, Ukraine and more). Filter by keywords, CPV codes, country, deadline, estimated value and notice type, and get clean, flat JSON ready for your CRM, spreadsheet, Slack alert or AI agent.

Built on the official TED v3 Search API of the EU Publications Office – no scraping, no proxies, no login, fast and stable.

What you can do

• 🔎 Find open tenders for your products: "software", "solar", "cleaning", CPV 72000000 (IT services), 45000000 (construction)…
• 🔔 Daily tender alerts – turn on Monitor mode and schedule the Actor; each run returns only notices you have not seen yet.
• 🏆 Contract award intelligence – who won what, at what value (noticeTypes: awards).
• 🌍 Multilingual – titles and buyer names in English (or DE/FR/ES/IT/PL/HU/NL/CS/PT/RO/SV) where TED provides translations.
• 🤖 AI agents & MCP – small predictable records, ideal for Claude/Cursor via the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com).

The run summary (OUTPUT record) shows the exact TED query and total matches.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.003 per tender notice returned + $0.005 per run start. 100 tenders ≈ $0.31. Use maxNotices and Monitor mode to control cost – you never pay for notices you already received.

Tips

• CPV trailing zeros are a prefix: 72000000 matches every IT-services code (72xxxxxx).
• Countries match the buyer or the place of performance.
• Power users: expertQuery accepts raw TED expert syntax (e.g. FT~"hydrogen" AND buyer-country IN (NLD)).

FAQ

Is it legal? Yes – TED data is published by the EU Publications Office as open data, free to reuse (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU). Each record links to the official notice. How fresh? TED publishes every working day; the Actor queries TED live. National-only tenders below EU thresholds? Those are on national portals and are not in TED.
