For a general contractor pursuing work in the European Union, public building tenders above the thresholds publish on Tenders Electronic Daily under the Common Procurement Vocabulary, with construction works under CPV Division 45. Watching TED and reading the CPV codes is how the work is found.
What EU building works on TED involve
Tenders Electronic Daily is the EU official journal supplement where contracting authorities across the member states publish tenders above the EU thresholds. Construction works classify under CPV Division 45, with subcodes for building, civil, and installation work. Tenders run under EU procurement directives with set timelines, selection and award criteria, and often a most economically advantageous tender basis rather than lowest price alone. National portals carry the work below the thresholds.
Why EU building works are easy to miss
TED carries thousands of notices across many languages and CPV codes, and a contractor watching a single country or scanning titles misses the building works that classify under CPV 45 in other member states. The selection and award criteria that decide the pursuit sit in the tender documents.
How an AI bid agent surfaces EU building works
An AI bid agent monitors TED, filters construction works under CPV Division 45 in the member states the contractor targets, translates the non English notices, and surfaces the selection and award criteria and deadlines in one digest. The contractor sees the EU building pipeline without reading TED by hand.
You can see the filtered, translated digest in our AI bid agent demo for general contractors. The agent filters TED to CPV 45 building works in your target member states and surfaces the criteria.
