    TED — Tenders Electronic Daily

    TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the online supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, dedicated to public procurement notices.

    Definition

    TED is the official platform where all EU public procurement notices above directive thresholds must be published. It covers supply, service, and works contracts from EU member states and EEA countries.

    Scale and scope

    TED publishes over 700,000 procurement notices per year, representing contracts worth more than €670 billion annually. Notices are available in all official EU languages.

    How to use TED

    TED provides a public search interface at ted.europa.eu. Users can search by CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes, NUTS (geographic) regions, contracting authority, and free text. Jorpex automates this monitoring process.

    TED and eForms

    Since 2023, TED has been transitioning to eForms, a new standardized format for procurement notices. This improves data quality and makes automated processing more reliable.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I get alerts for TED tenders?

    TED offers basic email alerts, but they have limited filtering. Jorpex monitors TED continuously and delivers matching tenders to Slack with precise keyword, region, and value filtering.

    What is the minimum value for TED publication?

    EU thresholds are approximately €140,000 for goods/services (central government) and €5.38 million for works contracts. Below these thresholds, tenders appear only on national portals.

    Can non-EU companies bid on TED tenders?

    Yes. Companies from GPA (Government Procurement Agreement) signatory countries can bid on TED tenders. The EU also has bilateral agreements that extend procurement access.
