Gov Tender Radar — EU Public Procurement Search (TED)

Point this Actor at keywords or CPV codes and get back matching EU public-sector tenders — title, buyer, buyer country, CPV classification, submission deadline and a direct link to the notice, sorted newest-first. Every result comes straight from TED Europa's own public search API: no scraping, no API key, no login.

What you get

• Live tenders, not a stale index. One row per matching notice: publicationNumber, title, buyer, buyerCountry, cpv, deadline, publicationDate and a ready-to-open url.
• Two ways to search. Plain keywords do a full-text search; TED expert-query field expressions (e.g. classification-cpv=72000000) filter directly, and you can mix both with AND/OR.
• Country filter. Set country to AND an ISO 3-letter buyer-country code into every query.
• Sorted newest-first by publication date, so live and upcoming opportunities surface before old, closed notices.
• Runs on Apify: schedule it, monitor it, call it from the API or the MCP server, export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or push results straight into your own pipeline.

Who uses it

• Sales & bid teams — get alerted to a matching tender before half the submission window is already gone.
• Public-affairs teams & consultants — track a client's sector or a specific buyer for new notices.
• Market researchers — measure procurement activity by country or CPV category over time.

Why it matters

Companies chasing public-sector contracts either pay for a procurement-alerts SaaS seat or manually refresh the TED Europa website for new notices matching their CPV codes. Both are slow, and by the time a human spots a fresh tender, half the bidding window is already gone.

How to run it

1. Click Try for free — no card needed on the free plan.
2. Paste keywords or TED expert-query expressions into Search queries, one per line. Optionally set Buyer country.
3. Press Start. Results appear in the dataset — read them in the UI, pull them from the API, or have a webhook push them onward.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.005 per run start + $0.005 per result found. No monthly seat, no minimum. 100 matching notices cost about $0.51; 1,000 about $5.01.

A query that matches nothing, or fails outright, is still returned with found: false — and it is not charged for. You pay for matches, not for attempts.

Input

Field	Required	What it does
queries	yes	Keywords or TED expert-query expressions, one search per entry. Plain words do a full-text search; field expressions (classification-cpv=72000000) filter directly; mix both with AND/OR. Up to 25 per run.
country	no	ISO 3-letter buyer-country code to AND into every query, e.g. DEU, FRA. Leave empty for all EU countries.
limit	no	Max notices returned per query (1–100, default 20).
maxConcurrency	no	Parallel queries against TED (1–8, default 3).

{
    "queries": ["classification-cpv=72000000", "software"]
}

Output

One row per matched notice, or one graceful "no match" row per query that found nothing. This is a real row from a real run:

{
    "sourceQuery": "classification-cpv=72000000",
    "found": true,
    "publicationNumber": "512430-2026",
    "title": "Portugal – Technical computer support services – Aquisição de serviços de assistência técnica da plataforma SUN Oracle",
    "buyer": "Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira",
    "buyerCountry": "PRT",
    "cpv": "72611000",
    "deadline": null,
    "publicationDate": "2026-07-24+02:00",
    "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/512430-2026",
    "matched": null,
    "error": null,
    "summary": "Portugal – Technical computer support services – Aquisição de serviços de assistência técnica da plataforma SUN Oracle — Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira (PRT).",
    "checkedAt": "2026-07-26T13:58:42.826Z"
}

Field	What it means
sourceQuery	The query that produced this row
found	Whether a matching notice was returned
publicationNumber	TED's notice ID
title	Notice title (English, or first available language)
buyer	Contracting authority
buyerCountry	Buyer's ISO 3-letter country code(s)
cpv	Common Procurement Vocabulary code(s)

These run on the same account, take the same shape of input and bill the same way, so they slot into an existing pipeline without new plumbing.

FAQ

Does it need an API key or login? No — TED Europa's search API is public and keyless.

How fresh is the data? Results are sorted newest-first by publication date, so live and just-published notices surface first.

Why is deadline null on some rows? Not every notice type carries a submission deadline — prior information notices and contract award notices, for example, are informational and won't have one. That's expected, not a missing field.

Can I call it from an AI agent? Yes — it's a standard Apify Actor, callable via the Apify API or the Apify MCP server.

What this is NOT. It does not evaluate whether you're eligible to bid, does not fetch the full tender documents, and does not cover national-only tenders below the EU publication threshold — only what TED itself publishes.

This Actor surfaces public procurement notices for research and monitoring. It is not legal or bidding advice — verify eligibility, deadline and requirements directly on the official notice before submitting anything.
