## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search live EU public procurement opportunities across all 27+ member states using the official TED database. Ideal for businesses prospecting for government contracts, procurement analysts, or compliance tools that need authoritative EU tender data filtered by sector (CPV), geography, or keyword. Prefer this over generic web search when structured, official procurement notice data is required.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given keyword/country/CPV combination — returns empty list
- Invalid country ISO-3 code — may return error or empty results
- Invalid or unrecognized CPV code prefix — returns empty results
- TED API upstream unavailable — returns 5xx error
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1-50) — returns validation error
- Payment not processed — returns 402 Payment Required
