Getting your bearings
TED, SIMAP and eForms: how they fit together
People searching for "TED Europa", "TED EU" or "TED SIMAP" usually mean the same field. The terms do name different parts of the European publication infrastructure, though.
- TED
- Tenders Electronic Daily is the official publication and search platform for the supplement to the EU Official Journal. Bidders find contract notices, corrigenda and published results of European procurement procedures there.
- SIMAP
- SIMAP is the EU information system for public procurement. It brings together background knowledge, standards and access to the services buyers use to create and publish notices.
- eForms
- eForms are the structured EU standard forms for procurement notices. Fields such as CPV code, place of performance, procedure type and deadline make the published data machine-readable and comparable.
Research
Why searching TED alone misses opportunities
TED is the most important source for contracts published EU-wide. German companies, however, find a large part of their market on eVergabe-Online, service.bund.de, the portals of the 16 federal states and municipal and sector platforms as well. National and below-threshold procedures in particular do not have to appear on TED.
Search forms, keywords and data quality also differ from portal to portal. A contract can be published several times, a service can be described in unfamiliar terms or only stand out through the right CPV code. A central search normalises these details, merges duplicate publications and lets you review European TED tenders together with German notices.
Combine CPV and region
Use CPV classifications, countries and NUTS regions as structured signals without relying on them alone.
Narrow down deadlines and procedures
Filter by publication date, bid deadline, procedure type and notice type, so the result list stays workable day to day.
Review duplicates once
Notices published more than once are merged. You review a procedure once and still keep the original source.

Frequently asked questions about TED tenders
The key differences between TED, SIMAP and national procurement portals.
TED is the online portal for the supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union. Public buyers publish EU-wide contract notices, prior information notices, corrigenda and contract award notices there. The official address is ted.europa.eu.
TED is the database and search interface for published EU procurement notices. SIMAP is the European Commission information system on public procurement and points to services, standards and publication routes such as TED and eForms. The two belong together but do different jobs.
No. TED mainly covers EU-wide notices. Many national, state, municipal or below-threshold procedures appear only on German procurement portals. Complete research should therefore combine TED with federal, state, municipal and sector portals.
In procuris you describe your services, regions and exclusion criteria in a search profile. The platform matches new notices from TED and more than 90 other procurement portals against the profile by meaning, summarises the matches and can alert you to procedures that fit.
No. In public procurement TED stands for Tenders Electronic Daily. The well-known TED Talks series is a separate organisation with no link to the EU procurement portal.
