Useful information starts with a traceable source.

One source. A defined sector.

The board uses published notices from Tenders Electronic Daily (TED), the EU’s public procurement publication service. It focuses on translation services (CPV 79530000) and interpretation services (CPV 79540000), including more specific codes where applicable.

It is not a complete inventory of all language-service contracts. National-only and lower-value opportunities, private requests for proposals, and notices using other classifications may be absent. Other procurement portals are not connected to the automatic board.

The three example briefs also cite eTenders and TenderNed documents to substantiate specific facts. Those individual checks do not imply continuous coverage of either portal.

Check the timestamp, then the deadline.

Our target is a daily board refresh. The update timestamp on the board is the evidence of the last successful data retrieval; a stated daily cadence does not make older data current. If a refresh fails, the previous snapshot may remain visible.

The example briefs are separately dated snapshots checked on 26 October 2026. They are not automatically re-reviewed with each board refresh. A deadline in an example may now have passed or been amended.

Use the official procurement workspace to confirm the latest notice, attachments, clarification deadline and submission time zone. Publication dates, clarification dates and offer deadlines are different events.

A relevant notice is the beginning of a review.

The board filters machine-readable notice data by sector and notice attributes. A search result is not a statement that a particular agency can bid. Award notices, planning notices and amendments have different meanings; a single procedure may have several publications.

• Language: the language of a notice, the language required for a bid, and the languages to be translated are not interchangeable.
• Value: an estimate or framework ceiling is not guaranteed spending or expected supplier income. Missing values stay missing.
• Requirements: references, qualifications, capacity and security conditions may be in attachments rather than the notice itself.

The brief shows what was checked.

Each example lists the source documents, the date of review, verified facts and questions that remain unanswered. Where useful, it points to specific pages. A short brief does not imply that all documents or later amendments were reviewed.

Free to inspect. No active billing.

The current public board and example briefs can be read free of charge. €19/month is a proposed subscription price being tested, not an active billing plan. There is no checkout on these pages and no payment is taken.

Personalised delivery and a paid service must be explicitly available before they can be purchased. Showing a preview does not imply that subscriptions, customer accounts or email delivery are already operating.

Follow the original publication.

The board’s source is the official TED Search API. Official procurement pages remain the authoritative place to read the terms and submit an offer.

TED also provides its own search and alert tools. TenderLingua’s intended additional value is helping agencies understand relevant conditions with clear source references. Explore the official TED search and alerts.
