See who won an EU public contract before you bid on it (free TED data)

Description and use

An Apify scraper fetches previous winners and prices for EU tenders, streamlining bid/no‑bid decisions and pricing.

Problem

Bidder needs to know incumbent and price of previous contract to assess competition and pricing.

Outcome

Bidder can quickly see incumbent, price, and deadline for each tender, enabling informed bid/no-bid decisions and pricing strategy.

Workflow

• Run EU Public Tenders Scraper (TED) on Apify with includePreviousAward=true
• Read previousAward column for each tender
• Schedule task weekly to get new tenders
• Integrate dataset with Google Sheets, Slack or email

Evidence

Every above-threshold contract award in the EU is published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)

Not every tender gets a match, and that's on purpose. Buyers reuse words like "framework agreement" or "open procedure" in every title, and a wrong "previous winner" is worse than none.
