## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search EU public procurement notices from the official TED/OJEU database by keyword, optionally filtered by country or open-only status. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable tender data with CPV codes, buyer details, and deadlines. Ideal for procurement monitoring agents, business development tools, or compliance workflows targeting European government contracts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'search' field returns validation error
- Invalid EU country ISO code may return empty results or error
- Limit outside 1-50 range may be rejected or clamped
- No matching tenders returns empty notices array with total=0
- Network or upstream TED source unavailability causes 5xx errors

## How this service works

Public tenders and contract awards from all EU countries published in TED (Official Journal of the EU) by keyword and country: title, buyer, notice type, date, tender deadline, estimated value, CPV codes and link. Option: only open tenders.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the total number of matching notices, the search term used, the data source attribution (TED/Official Journal of the EU), and an array of tender notices each containing: notice number, title, buyer name, country, CPV classification codes, notice type, publication date, bid deadline, estimated value, and a direct link to the full notice on TED.
