Sources

Every source we read, in one place.

Polytender aggregates official sources only: the EU-wide notices on TED, the national publication services of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and the US, plus the state, municipal and federal portals we read directly. Behind each of them sit the operator platforms that actually host the notice, which is how a single connector reaches hundreds of portals.

Austria

57,205 notices

data.gv.at Kerndaten + usp.gv.at

Austria publishes the core data (Kerndaten) of every notice from 50,000 EUR upwards as open data. We read both official routes daily: the per-buyer Kerndaten datasets on data.gv.at and the federal list on ausschreibungen.usp.gv.at. The notice itself stays on the buyer's own platform, so this single source covers the federal procurement agency BBG on bbg.vergabeportal.at, provia for infrastructure buyers such as ÖBB and ASFINAG, vemap, the City of Vienna Vergabeportal and the buyers' own systems.

oeffentlichevergabe.de + 30 Landesportale

Germany is our deepest connection, because one source is not enough. Above the EU thresholds the federal Bekanntmachungsservice on oeffentlichevergabe.de is complete, below them publishing there is voluntary: for national UVgO procedures our audits found around 42 percent missing. So we also read 30 official state, municipal and federal portals directly, from evergabe.nrw.de through bayvebe.bayern.de and vergabe.hessen.de to the portals of Autobahn GmbH and Deutsche Bahn. They publish about a day earlier, duplicate notices are merged into one entry, and for many of them we open the tender documents right in the app.

Switzerland

13,788 notices

simap.ch

simap.ch is the joint publication platform of the Confederation, the cantons and the communes, and it carries Liechtenstein's notices too. We read federal and cantonal notices from its public interface, including the below-threshold invitation procedures that never reach the EU Official Journal.

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)

TED, the supplement to the EU Official Journal, is where every contract above the EU thresholds has to be published: 27 member states plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It is our widest source and the basis for cross-border search. When a procedure also appears on a national portal, we merge both notices into one entry.

Two official UK services, both published as open contracting data: Contracts Finder for contracts from 12,000 GBP upwards and Find a Tender for the high value procedures that replaced the UK's TED publications after Brexit.

How a source gets connected

Official sources only.

We read government publication services and open data interfaces at first hand, never a resold copy from a commercial aggregator.

Synced every night.

Every source has its own connector with an incremental cursor. What is published today is searchable, translated and matched by tomorrow morning.

Merged across sources.

A national notice and its TED mirror are the same contract. We group them and show one entry with its full publication history instead of three near duplicates.

New connectors ship in the order our customers ask for them. If your market is missing, tell us and we will move it up.

Questions about our sources

Which portals does Polytender cover?

We aggregate 300+ official procurement sources across Europe, the UK and the US: TED for the EU-wide procedures, the national services of Germany, Austria and Switzerland together with the platforms behind them, 30 German state, municipal and federal portals we read directly on top of that, Contracts Finder and Find a Tender in the UK, and SAM.gov in the US.

Do you cover bbg.vergabeportal.at, provia and usp.gv.at?

Yes. Austrian procedures reach us through the official Kerndaten open data on data.gv.at and ausschreibungen.usp.gv.at. That covers every procedure from 50,000 EUR upwards, no matter whether it is hosted on bbg.vergabeportal.at, provia.at, vemap, the City of Vienna Vergabeportal or the buyer's own system. Each entry links back to the original notice on its portal.

Do you cover contracts below the EU thresholds?

Yes, that is exactly what the national connectors are for. TED only carries what is above the EU thresholds, so we read the German, Austrian and Swiss services directly, and in Germany another 30 state, municipal and federal portals on top, because publishing on the central service is voluntary below the thresholds.

How current is the data?

Every source is synced nightly with an incremental cursor. New notices are in the index the next morning, with their deadline, the buyer and, where available, the tender documents.
