## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search the official EU TED procurement database for public tender notices — particularly for EU/EEA member state buyers. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, machine-readable tender data including CPV codes, deadlines, buyer names, and official notice URLs. It is the right choice for B2G lead generation, procurement monitoring, and competitive intelligence on public contract awards in Europe.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' keyword parameter returns a validation error
- Country code not in EU/EEA+CH list may return zero results or an error
- Page number outside 1-50 range may return an error or empty results
- More than 5 comma-separated keyword alternatives rejected
- Network or upstream TED API unavailability causes a 5xx error
- Misspelled ISO country code returns no results silently
