TendFeed MCP — EU Procurement Intelligence for Hermes Agent¶

TendFeed MCP gives AI agents structured intelligence on EU public tenders — observed competition density, price corridors, SME-fit scoring, and beachhead rankings for every open tender on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily). Stop guessing whether to bid and start bidding where you win.

What It Does¶

TendFeed turns 592,000+ real EU contract awards into agent-actionable intelligence:

Competition density — See how many bidders typically compete for tenders like yours
Price corridor — Know the winning bid range before you price yours
SME fit scoring — Assess whether a tender is designed for small/medium enterprises
Beachhead ranking — Identify the tenders where you have the best chance of winning
Multi-language — Query in your language; TED data spans all 24 EU official languages
Free guest tier — Explore expired tender data with no signup or API key

Use Cases for Business Operators¶

1. Bid/No-Bid Decision¶

Stop bidding on everything — bid where the data says you win:

Agent prompt: "We're an SME cybersecurity consultancy in Berlin.
Show me all open EU tenders in our space this quarter. For each,
what's the typical competition, where do winning bids land on price,
and what's our beachhead ranking?"

2. Price-To-Win Analysis¶

Price your bid inside the observed corridor:

Agent prompt: "I'm bidding on a €500K IT infrastructure tender in France.
Show me the price corridor for similar contracts — what's the
p25, median, and p75 winning bid? How many bidders typically compete?
Am I pricing too high or too low?"

3. Market Entry Strategy¶

Find your beachhead in a new EU market:

Agent prompt: "We want to expand from Germany into the Dutch public
sector. What tenders in our category (CPV 72000000 — IT services)
are open in the Netherlands? Which ones have high SME-fit scores?
Show me a beachhead ranking sorted by our likely win probability."

4. Competitive Landscape Monitoring¶

Track what your competitors are winning:

Agent prompt: "Which companies have won the most cybersecurity
tenders in the EU this year? Show me their win patterns —
countries, contract sizes, competition levels. Are there
underserved segments where we'd face less competition?"
