TenderCatcher collects contract notices from Europe’s public procurement platforms — TED and the national portals, which is where the contracts below the EU thresholds are published — translates the title and the summary, and tells you when something matches your search campaign.
Search without an account: 20 results, translated, without the source link.
Campaign, email, link
A campaign is one free-text field — “what do you offer?” — plus countries, CPV ranges and notice types if you want them. When you create it, it runs against the last 30 days straight away, so you see what it would have found before you commit to anything.
Weekly on the free plan, daily from Solo, instantly from Pro. Per hit: country and platform, the translated title, the original title, the deadline. Machine translation, always shown next to the original.
Every hit links to the notice on the platform that published it. That is where the procedure continues — the documents, the questions, the bid. We do not stand in between.
Example
An illustration, not a live notice. The original stays visible next to the translation — that is the point.

TED is the backbone; the national portals are where the contracts below the EU thresholds are published — and that is where most of the work for a specialist supplier sits. We take data from the publishing platforms themselves, never from commercial aggregators.
This list is as much a part of the product as the feature list. Everything on it is a deliberate decision, not a gap we intend to close.
The tender documents stay with the platform that published them — often behind a login, always under its own terms. We link there.
That needs documents and sector knowledge, and it is a different product at a different price.
You already have a CRM.
It costs a lot and adds nothing to the promise “there is something over here”.
Self-service, card, done. Prices are on the website.
A narrow product with a handful of relevant tenders per country per year — each one worth having, most of them missed today. Rail technology, special civil engineering, measurement, lab equipment, medical niches, environmental sensing, special vehicles.
Market watch: which authority is preparing what. Prior information notices and contract awards matter as much as the notices themselves.
They have their own tools but buy a cheap early-warning system for the countries their main system does not cover.
Not for you if you only ever search your own country in your own language — the national platforms and their alert services do that job.
Free for one campaign and three countries. EUR 15 a month for all of Europe, five campaigns and a daily email. EUR 39 for instant alerts, contract awards and corrections. EUR 89 for five users, webhooks and API. Prices are public — that is part of the positioning.

Because TED only carries what is above the EU thresholds, and for a specialist supplier most contracts are below them — those notices are published only on Hilma, on e-Zamówienia, on simap. TED is free and it is our backbone, but on its own it shows you a fraction of the market and translates late.
It is machine translation, and it is labelled as machine translation everywhere it appears. The original is always shown next to it, because that is the text that counts. Deadlines and values are never translated — they are carried over as dates and numbers.
No. We show the notice — title, summary, metadata, deadline — and link to the platform that published it. The documents stay there.
Via TED, the above-threshold notices from every EU/EEA country. Country by country we are adding the national portals, which is where the below-threshold notices are. Connected today: Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom (three platforms), Latvia, Poland and Ukraine. Finland and Estonia are waiting on an access key, Norway and Belgium on an answer from the operator. Austria has no below-threshold source we could read — its core data are award notices only, so Austria comes via TED. The sources page names every one, with the reason where there is one.
English and German at launch, for both the interface and the translations. French and Spanish follow, then Italian and Polish. You pick a primary and a secondary target language; the secondary is always one that is fully translated.
The target is under 24 hours from publication to visible in TenderCatcher, and under 6 hours for TED.
Yes: one campaign, three countries, a weekly email, 30 days of searchable history, no card. It is the trial. If you want to try Pro, you get 14 days of Pro without a card and drop back to free afterwards — not locked, not deleted.
Contract notices are published because the law wants them found. We use official APIs and open data, we respect rate limits, we never scrape a platform whose terms forbid it, and we never take data from commercial aggregators. Every source and its licence is listed on the sources page.
