Before you connect
Questions about TED EU.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
What can I do with the TED EU MCP?
You can use it to search, filter, and monitor official public procurement notices across the European Union. It lets you find government contracts using natural language instead of navigating complex portals.
How do I find government contracts in France with TED EU?
Just ask your agent to find specific types of contracts in France. The Connector will filter the results to show you only what's relevant to your request, including titles, values, and deadlines.
Can the TED EU MCP filter by contract value?
Yes, you can filter results by the contract value in Euros. This is helpful for finding projects that match your company's size and capacity.
How does TED EU MCP handle different industry sectors?
It uses Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes to categorize contracts. You can ask for specific sectors like IT, construction, or medical equipment to see relevant notices.
Can I see full details of a tender using TED EU?
Yes, you can retrieve the full notice details for any specific tender. This includes the full description, lots, award criteria, and the contracting authority's contact information.
How many countries does the TED EU MCP cover?
The Connector covers all 27 EU member states, allowing you to search for procurement opportunities across the entire European Union from one place.
Do I need an API key to use TED?
No! The TED Search API allows anonymous access for basic queries. An API key only increases your rate limits for high-volume usage. You can start searching tenders immediately without any credentials. If you need higher throughput, get a free key at developer.ted.europa.eu.
How can I find IT contracts over 500K EUR in Germany?
Combine capabilities: use search_by_cpv with code 72000000 (IT services) or search_by_country with code DE, then ask your agent to filter by value. Or use search_by_value with min_value 500000 and max_value 10000000. Your agent cross-references the results to show only German IT contracts above your threshold.
Is TED data limited to EU countries only?
TED primarily covers the 27 EU member states, but it also includes notices from EEA countries (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), EU candidate countries, and some international organizations. All capabilities return data across this full scope. The search_by_country capability supports ISO codes for all covered territories.
