🇪🇺 Overview of tender alerts

Here you can see which tenders Cobrief sends alerts about.

Written by Audun Wigum Arbo

Cobrief fetches notices from Doffin, TED, udbud.dk and HILMA. These sources are used in search, tender alerts and market insight.

The table shows coverage above and below the EU thresholds, and when our historical data starts. The overview also applies to market insight.

∗ “Partial” below the EU thresholds means that we fetch notices from TED, where some buyers also publish smaller competitions.

“Other countries” means buyers outside the EU and EFTA that still publish in TED, for example EU-funded projects. Coverage is limited to notices published there.

Which sources do we use?

  • Norway: Doffin and TED.

  • Denmark: udbud.dk and TED.

  • Finland: HILMA and TED.

  • The other countries in the table: TED. We do not collect comprehensively from national and local portals in these countries.

Coverage applies to notices published in these sources. Purchases that are not announced there are not included in the overview.

Tenders below the thresholds

For countries where TED is the source, you only get tenders published there. Some buyers also publish smaller competitions in TED. This provides partial coverage, not a complete overview of local purchasing.

National sources provide more notices from Norway, Denmark and Finland. Purchases that are not published in these sources do not automatically appear in Cobrief.

Historical coverage and missing information

The years and months in the table show when historical coverage starts for each country and category. The number of notices and the information available from that period vary between sources and notice types. Use the publication date filter to explore the period you need. Contact us if you need to establish the data coverage for a larger market analysis.

A notice may be available even if its contract value, winner or tender documents are missing. Read how to interpret market insight data.

Private invitations and call-offs

If you received a private invitation to a mini-competition under a framework agreement or dynamic purchasing system, you can create a private tender and upload them to Cobrief.
