TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the EU's official online journal for public procurement notices. It publishes higher-value tenders from across member states in a single place, making it the primary source for large, cross-border contract opportunities.
Contracts above the EU procurement thresholds must be advertised on TED. It is comprehensive for large tenders but does not carry most low-value local contracts, which appear only on national portals. Effective tender discovery usually combines TED with the relevant national platforms.
