TED, Tenders Electronic Daily
Read on the TRINTA daily scan
TED is where European public procurement becomes one market: every notice above the EU thresholds, from every member state, in every official language. It is also where the misunderstanding starts, because most procedures in most member states run below those thresholds and never reach it. TED is the ceiling of the market, not the market.
What publishes here
The procurement supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union: the notices that EU buyers must publish above the EU thresholds, from all 27 member states and the EEA, in every official EU language.
Where it fits
Multilateral boards publish for the projects their institution finances, while the buying is usually done by a national agency. The same hospital, road or grid project can therefore surface here and on the country's own channels, at different moments. TRINTA reads the multilateral layer beside the national channels of 153+ countries, so neither side is missed.
What TRINTA does with it
TED is read on the TRINTA daily scan. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.
Frequently asked questions
What is TED?
TED, Tenders Electronic Daily (ted.europa.eu) is the procurement supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union: the notices that EU buyers must publish above the EU thresholds, from all 27 member states and the EEA, in every official EU language.
How does TED relate to national portals?
Multilateral notices are published for projects the institution finances, while the buyer is usually the national implementing agency. The same project can therefore appear on TED and on the country's own channels, at different moments and in different detail; following both sides is the only complete view.
How can a company monitor TED?
You can follow ted.europa.eu directly, or let a radar do it: TRINTA reads TED on the daily scan, beside the national channels of 153+ countries, and scores every notice 0 to 100 against your company's real catalogue.
Does TED carry all EU tenders?
No. TED carries the notices above the EU thresholds, which member states must publish there. Below the thresholds, procedures run on national portals, regional platforms and buyers' own channels, and that sub-threshold layer is most of the count in most countries. A supplier watching only TED sees the largest contracts and misses the volume.
