TenderNed public procurement
TenderNed is the government's procurement platform. Every publication (notice, award, correction, market consultation …) is in it with buyer, type of contract, procedure and CPV code. Open are the annual files (JSON in the Open Contracting standard, CC0) and a publication web service; on 16 October 2026 that service held 146,513 publications, 25,797 of them from 2025.

What you can build with it1
What can you do with it?4 ideas
What does your municipality put out to tender?
Filter the annual files on buyer.name. For each contract see what is asked (tender.title, the CPV code) and whether it was tendered at European level.
Services, supplies or works?
In 2025, 60% of publications were about services (15,390), against 6,924 about supplies and 3,621 about works. One publication can belong to more than one type.
Which procedures does government choose?
Count open procedures against negotiated procedures without prior call per year. In the web service 92,654 of the 146,513 publications are open (procedure=OPE).
Follow one tender from start to finish
In the annual files relatedNotices lists the related publications (e.g. "427208, 427890, 432426"). That lets you follow a tender from notice via correction to award, and see how long it took.
How to process it4 steps
Download an annual file
JSON per year from 2016 (58 to 116 MB) and XLSX for 2010–2015, 2016–2020 and 2021–2026. The 2026 file runs to 1 October; TenderNed tops the files up every six months.

Count with the publication web service
size=1 and the filters publicatieDatumVanaf, publicatieDatumTot and typeOpdracht (L, D, W) return the count in totalElements. Unknown filters are silently ignored.

Look at the structure first
An annual file is big; a Range request shows the first releases without downloading everything. Fields follow OCDS 1.1: parties, buyer, tender (title, classification, procurementMethodDetails, lots).

Interesting combinations


Who is behind the winner?
In an award the winner is a party with role supplier, with name, address, an 8-digit id and whether it is an SME (scale: sme). That id looks like a Chamber of Commerce number (not confirmed); look the company up in the business register.


How much do municipalities tender, given their budget?
Count each municipality's tenders in a year and compare with the expenses in its Iv3 budget.

What to watch out for
- The annual files are big
58 MB (2016) to 116 MB (2025) of JSON per year. Read them in chunks (streaming) or use the XLSX for a first look.
- The web service is complete only from 2022
2020 has 3,221 publications, 2021 rises from 521 in January to 1,942 in December. Use the annual files for older years.
- Web service is not in the official specification
The publication web service is listed on data.overheid.nl, but is not in the OpenAPI of the TenderNed Notice Service. That XML API needs a login and is not taking new requests for now.
- Personal data of contact persons
The annual files contain name, email and phone number of contact persons at buyers. Do not use them beyond what you need.
- Not all filters work
In the web service typePublicatie and europees do not change the total: they are ignored. Count those types in the annual files.

Limits and pitfalls
- At most 100 per page. No documented rate limit; count with size=1 and the date filters. tested
- The web service is only complete from 2022: 2020 has 3,221 publications, 2021 rises from 521 (January) to 1,942 (December). Use the annual files for older years. experience
- The path without v2 (…/tenderned-rs-tns/publicaties) redirects with 301 to v2. No OpenAPI description was found (api-docs and swagger return 404); the web service is not in the TenderNed Notice Service specification. tested
- A publication can have several contract types: the counts per typeOpdracht (L+D+W) add up to more than the total. experience
- Annual files (OCDS 1.1 JSON, CC0): 58 MB (2016) to 116 MB (2025), topped up every six months; Range requests work to inspect the structure. They contain names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of contact persons. experience
- robots.txt (/robots.txt redirects to /cms/robots.txt) does not exclude /papi/. tested
