Data use policy

Version 2026-10-03 · Effective from 2026-10-03 · Last updated 2026-10-03

1. Sources we currently use

Oppora currently ingests opportunities from the following official sources:

  • TED — Tenders Electronic Daily, the EU's official procurement portal for notices published in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union.
  • Find a Tender Service — the UK government's official procurement notice service.

We may add sources over time; this page will then be updated.

2. Licensing of source data

Per TED's own Copyright and Reuse Policy, procurement notices published in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union may be freely reused for commercial or non-commercial purposes. TED's editorial content is licensed separately under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), and its system metadata is dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0; neither of those applies to the procurement notices themselves.

Per the Find a Tender Service's published terms, most of its content is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, which permits commercial and non-commercial reuse subject to attribution. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Third-party works referenced within a notice (for example a bidder's own documents, logos or trademarks) are excluded from these licences and remain the property of their owners.

3. How the data is collected and kept up to date

Oppora imports notices from these sources periodically through their official public interfaces. Imports are not continuous or real-time, and they are not run on a guaranteed schedule. New, changed or withdrawn notices can appear in Oppora later than on the official source, or not at all. Always check the official source for the current state of a notice.

4. What Oppora does with source data

After importing a notice, Oppora applies the following processing:

  • Normalisation of dates, values, currencies and statuses into a consistent structure. Amounts are shown in the currency of the notice; Oppora does not convert currencies;
  • Deduplication of notices describing the same underlying procedure;
  • Sector and category mapping using the CPV codes in the notice and Oppora's own classification;
  • Derivation of status and deadline information from the notice data and dates;
  • Computation of an Opportunity Score and a Best Match order based on each user's profile;
  • Linking back to the original notice on its official source.

5. Opportunity Score and Best Match

The Score is a number from 0 to 100 that compares your profile with an opportunity on five components: sector, CPV code, country, keywords and products or services, and contract value. A component is used only when both your profile and the notice provide the information needed (for example, contract value is compared only when both use the same currency). The Score uses fixed rules written by us; there is no artificial intelligence or machine learning and it does not learn from how you use Oppora. It is recalculated when your profile changes.

A high Score means the opportunity matches what you told us, not that you are eligible or likely to win. A low Score does not mean an opportunity is irrelevant.

6. Source data versus Oppora-derived data

The underlying facts of a notice (buyer, subject matter, dates, values) come from the official source and are governed by that source's licence, described above. The sector mapping, Opportunity Score and Best Match order are Oppora's own derived output, produced from that source data plus your profile.

7. Rights over the data

Oppora does not claim ownership of public procurement data. Original publishers and, where applicable, third parties referenced within a notice keep their rights under the licences described above. Oppora's own rights are limited to its software, interface, and the structuring and scoring it derives from that public data.

8. Accuracy and your responsibility

Oppora aggregates, structures and prioritises publicly available information; delays, transformation errors, missing notices and wrong dates, values or statuses may occur. The official notice and its documents always prevail. Oppora is not an official procurement portal and is not endorsed by, or affiliated with, TED, the European Union, the UK Government or any source it references. Verify deadlines, eligibility and requirements against the official source before acting.

9. Personal data in notices

Some notices contain contact details of buyer-side officials. How we handle them is described in the Privacy policy.
