Tender Alert — New EU Tender Watch

Watch EU public-sector tenders (TED Europa) by keyword or CPV code and get only the tenders that are NEW since your last check — not the same 20 notices you already read last week. Runs on our own live tender-search engine under the hood, so you never re-download the whole list just to spot what changed.

What you get

• A named "watch" (keywords + CPV code + optional buyer country) that remembers what it has already shown you.
• Every scheduled run reports ONLY tenders that were not there last time — title, buyer, country, CPV code, deadline and the notice URL.
• Run several independent watches from one Actor (e.g. one for IT services in Germany, one for construction tenders in France) — each has its own memory.
• The very first run for a new watch tells you honestly that it's establishing a baseline, not hiding a "no new tenders" run as if it found something.
• Runs on Apify: schedule it daily, monitor it, call it from the API, export to JSON/CSV/Excel or push straight into your own pipeline.

How to run it

1. Click Try for free — no card needed on the free plan.
2. Paste your search keywords or a CPV code (e.g. classification-cpv=72000000) into Search queries, optionally a buyer country and a name for this watch.
3. Hit Start. The first run creates the baseline; schedule it to run again (daily or weekly) to get a stream of only the NEW tenders each time.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.005 per run start + $0.01 per NEW tender / baseline created. The "no new tenders" notice on a quiet run and any error/notice row are never charged. 10 new tenders cost about $0.11 (the one-time start fee plus 10 billed rows).

Input

Field	Required	What it does
queries	yes	Keywords or TED expert-query expressions, e.g. "software" or "classification-cpv=72000000". Up to 20.
country	no	ISO 3-letter buyer-country code (e.g. "DEU") ANDed into every query. Leave empty for all EU countries.
baseline_key	no	Name for this watch, so you can run several independent watches. Defaults to a single watch if left empty.
limit	no	Notices requested per query, per run (1-100, default 20).
max_items	no	Max NEW-tender rows delivered (and charged) per run, even if more were found (1-200, default 20).

FAQ / Limitations

Does this cover tenders outside the EU? No — TED Europa is EU-wide public procurement only.

What happens if I change my queries for an existing baseline_key? The watch keeps comparing against whatever it last saw, so changing the filter can produce a burst of "new" tenders that simply weren't checked for under the old filter. Use a new baseline_key for an intentionally different watch.

What this is NOT. This is not legal or compliance advice on tender eligibility, and it does not submit bids or contact buyers. It surfaces public notice data only.

Found a bug or need a custom watch (e.g. tracking deadline changes, not just new tenders)? Issues on the Actor's page.
