European public procurement

The European Union's public procurement market represents over EUR 2 trillion in annual spending — roughly 14% of EU GDP. EU Directive 2014/24 requires member states to publish above-threshold tenders on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), ensuring cross-border access and competition. But the real opportunities often sit below threshold on national platforms, where the majority of contracts are published without reaching TED.

Duke gives you both. Our procurement graph connects TED's above-threshold dataset with 300+ national and regional sources, creating a unified view of European procurement that no single portal can match. Whether you're tracking framework agreements in Germany, monitoring marchés publics in France, or analyzing award patterns across Spain and Italy — every procedure is normalized into one data model with standardized CPV codes, buyer profiles, and geographic targeting.

EU Directive 2014/24 guarantees cross-border access to public procurement. Any company in the EU can bid on any above-threshold tender in any member state. But in practice, cross-border participation remains low — partly because monitoring multiple national platforms is time-consuming and data formats vary wildly. Duke solves this by normalizing every source into one unified procurement graph with standardized classifications, buyer identifiers, and geographic regions.

Every source feeds into Duke's procurement graph — a unified data model with standardized buyers, suppliers, lots, awards, classifications (CPV, NAICS, UNSPSC), and geographic regions (ISO 3166). Compare opportunities across borders without dealing with format differences. Track competitors across markets. Identify patterns in how different countries procure in your sector. The graph contains 61M+ nodes and 123M+ relationships, updated daily.
