Monitor EU public tenders (TED) for your keywords with Apify and n8n

Description and use

An automated workflow using Apify and n8n checks daily for new open EU tenders matching specified keywords and sends a digest, filtering out closed and duplicate notices.

Problem

Finding new, still-open EU public tenders that match specific keywords quickly and reliably.

Outcome

The workflow delivers a concise daily digest of new, still‑open EU tenders matching the user’s keywords, eliminating irrelevant contract award notices and duplicate alerts.

Workflow

• Run Apify TED Actor with keyword, country, and date filters
• Filter results to keep only contract notices (cn-*) with deadlines in the future and not previously alerted
• Deduplicate using workflow static data
• Build a digest message (subject and body)
• Send the digest via chosen notification channel

Evidence

Every year the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) publishes hundreds of thousands of procurement notices.

An n8n workflow runs it every weekday, drops notices you've already seen and anything already closed, and sends you a digest (email, Slack, Telegram, whatever you prefer).
