What's the difference between TED and OJEU?

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the online supplement of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). It publishes procurement notices above EU thresholds in a structured, searchable form.

How often is TED updated?

TED publishes new notices every working day, so serious bidders monitor it daily or set up saved searches with email alerts to avoid missing short-deadline opportunities.

Do all EU public tenders appear on TED?

Only contracts above the EU financial thresholds are mandatorily published on TED. Below-threshold procurements typically appear on national portals such as ΕΣΗΔΗΣ in Greece.

Navigating TED & OJEU

TED and OJEU are the primary public channels for EU procurement notices. This guide explains what each one is, how they relate, and how to build a repeatable monitoring workflow.

TED and OJEU, in plain terms

The difference between Tenders Electronic Daily (the online portal) and the Supplement to the Official Journal (the underlying legal publication).

Notice types you will actually see

Prior information notices, contract notices, corrigenda, and award notices, and what each one means for your pipeline - including contract notices for EU framework agreements that can generate years of call-offs.

Building a monitoring workflow

CPV code selection, keyword filters, saved searches, and how to turn TED alerts into a qualified pipeline instead of noise.

From notice to Go / No-Go

A quick triage checklist to decide, within minutes, whether a notice is worth a full bid team review - if it is, your first two artefacts are usually a completed ESPD and a plan to avoid the common reasons EU bids get rejected.
