You tell us what to watch - CPV codes, regions, contracting authorities, procedure types or words in the description - and we build the TenderNed crawler, run it and repair it when the announcement pages change. TenderNed draws its notices with scripts, so page rendering, pacing and proxy rotation are part of the service, along with CAPTCHA handling should the site ever ask for it.
Every row keeps the TenderNed-kenmerk and the publication id, so a tender, its rectifications and its award notice stay linked from one run to the next. Runs are one-off or scheduled - daily for live tenders, weekly for award research - and the first delivery comes with field documentation. A free project assessment tells you which filters and publication types a run will cover before you commit.
A TenderNed notice has two layers: a Details tab with the summary TenderNed itself builds, and a Publicatie tab with the full notice as the buyer filed it. We read both and keep TenderNed's Dutch labels next to English column names, so a Dutch analyst and a foreign bid team read the same file.
The contact point a notice names - a named person with an e-mail address and phone number - is personal data, so it stays out of the dataset by default under GDPR, while the authority's own details stay in.
Single notices are only the start. The value lies in how TenderNed links them over the life of a tender.
Repeated runs on a schedule turn this into change history: when a deadline moved, when a document was added, when a lot was awarded and to whom.
TenderNed is the Dutch government's tendering system. The Ministry of Economic Affairs started it in 2010, and it now sits within RVO, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. It has two parts: an announcement platform anyone can browse, and an application where contracting authorities run procedures and companies, once registered, submit bids.
Dutch contracting authorities - ministries, provinces, municipalities, water boards, universities of applied sciences, hospitals and public companies - must publish their European and national notices on the announcement platform, so it gathers tenders run in TenderNed itself and tenders run elsewhere. An imported notice says so in a banner and links to the system where the procedure runs, such as Mercell; a procedure run in TenderNed shows a Digitaal inschrijven button and a countdown of the days left to submit.
The site is in Dutch, and so are most titles and descriptions, with a share written in English. The search page filters by Publicatietype (market consultation, prior information notice, contract notice, rectification, award notice, modification), publication date, place of performance, contracting authority, contract type, European or national, nature of the contract, procedure, closing date, type of contracting authority and CPV code - the dimensions a tender dataset is cut by.
Delivery: CSV, JSON or XLSX files, our API or a JSON feed. MCP server on request.

Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Data scraping is the wide term that includes documents, scans and old screens; web scraping is the part that works on websites. We compare sources, daily work, output and cost drivers, give a briefing checklist and walk through two of our projects.
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping service: we build, run and maintain the crawlers and hand over the data, so your team works with tables instead of browser tabs. Procurement portals suit that model - the same fields every day, deadlines that move, award results that arrive long after the tender. For TenderNed we deliver CSV, Excel or JSON, a load into your database, or files on SFTP or Amazon S3, with English field documentation and the Dutch labels kept alongside.

Yes. The ScrapeIt TenderNed API returns the TenderNed-kenmerk, title, contracting authority, CPV codes, closing date and, once published, the winner and contract value as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same records can also arrive as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or a load straight into your database.
Yes. Contract notices, award notices, tender documents and the TenderKalender are published on TenderNed for any visitor, without an account. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on TenderNed - and we collect it legally. Contact persons named in notices are left out by default.
Yes. Give us the CPV codes, main or additional, plus any regions, buyers or procedure types, and we deliver a TenderNed export as an Excel file with one row per notice or per lot and the Dutch labels translated in the column names. Daily or weekly files can go to e-mail, SFTP or Google Drive.
TenderNed publishes notices as buyers file them, and a live tender keeps changing: a Rectificatie can correct its dates or documents, and a new Nota van inlichtingen appears in the Documenten tab. For bidding, a daily run catches those changes in time; for award and spend research a weekly run is enough, because award notices only appear once a procedure has ended.
Yes. Notices imported from other tendering systems carry the same Details fields, and we add the link to the system where the procedure runs. For procedures run in TenderNed we list every document with its group, date, format and size, and fetch the files themselves when the project needs the texts.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
