EU TED Tenders Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the EU-wide official journal for public procurement — every EU/EEA member state's contracting authorities publish notices there, from a Polish ministry's IT framework agreement to a German city's construction tender. TED's own v3 search API is keyless and public, but it returns deeply nested eForms-taxonomy JSON with 24-language multilingual fields ({"eng": [...], "pol": [...]}) that are painful to parse by hand. This Actor queries TED's public search API and flattens every notice into one buyer-ready row — buyer, title, CPV classification, estimated value, deadline, and award/winner info once a contract has been won. No API key, no login, no eForms-schema puzzle.

What we handle for you

• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408/429/503/network errors — up to 5 attempts, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Per-notice fault isolation — one malformed notice is skipped and logged, never crashes the whole run.
• 🌐 Multilingual-first field extraction — English preferred, falling back through 24 EU languages so a title/buyer name is never silently dropped.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, never the raw eForms JSON blob.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for rows that land in your dataset. No data, no charge.

Use cases

• Bid-team pipeline — pull new EU-wide tenders matching a CPV code or country every day.
• Market intelligence — track which EU public bodies are buying what, and at what value, across all 27+ member states.
• Award tracking — monitor closed notices for winner names and countries on contracts you bid on.
• Lead generation — build a cross-border prospect list of buyers issuing contracts in your sector.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

  "cpvCodes": [
    "72000000"
  ],
  "maxResults": 5,
  "useProxy": true
}

Output

One row per result, schema-validated before it is written. Export JSON, CSV, Excel or XML from the run, or read it over the API.

Limitations

• TED (EU-wide) only — national procurement portals are out of scope (see our UK Contracts Finder Actor for UK-specific coverage).
• No eForms XML/PDF document downloads, only the structured notice metadata.
• Real-time per-query only — no historical bulk export and no cross-run deduplication.
