They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Global Tenders Scraper — EU TED, UK & World Bank Public Procurement + Leads Scrape **government and public-procurement tenders worldwide from one actor** — the **EU's TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)**, the **UK Find a Tender Service**, and the **World Bank** (100+ countries) — in a single run with one unified schema. Get **open bid opportunities and contract awards (who won, for how much)**, full **buyer contact details**, CPV sectors, estimated values, submission deadlines, and turn every contracting authority or winning supplier into a **ready-to-use B2G/B2B lead** with a lead score. No login, no API key, no browser — fast JSON extraction straight from official government and multilateral procurement APIs. ### Why this tenders scraper? Every other procurement scraper covers **one** source — TED only, or UK only, or World Bank only — and stops at the raw notice. This actor **consolidates all three into one normalized dataset** and adds the lead-generation and intelligence layer that buyers, bidders and sales teams actually need: | Capability | Single-source scrapers | This actor | |---|---|---| | EU TED (27 countries + EEA) | partial | ✅ | | UK Find a Tender (post-Brexit) | partial | ✅ | | World Bank (100+ countries) | partial | ✅ | | **One unified schema across all sources** | ❌ | ✅ | | Open tenders **and** contract awards (who won) | rarely both | ✅ | | Buyer contact — email, phone, website, address | ❌ | ✅ | | CPV code **+ human sector label** | code only | ✅ | | Submission deadline + days-left + open/closed flag | ❌ | ✅ | | Deduplicated **buyer leads (B2G)** with lead score | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | Deduplicated **winning-supplier leads** + total won | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | Only-new **monitoring** for scheduled runs | ❌ | ✅ | ### Use cases - **Win public contracts** — find live tenders by country, sector (CPV) and value, filter to open deadlines, and bid before your competitors. Monitor your sectors daily for new opportunities. - **B2G lead generation** — sell *into* the public sector: every contracting authority becomes a lead with email, phone, website, address, how many tenders they run and their biggest contract (`extractBuyerLeads`). - **Competitor & market intelligence** — pull contract awards to see who's winning what, for how much, and from which buyers (`mode: "awards"`, `extractSupplierLeads`). - **Partner & subcontractor prospecting** — identify the suppliers winning awards in your space and reach out to team up. - **Procurement dashboards & CRMs** — pipe clean, normalized procurement data into Power BI, Tableau, HubSpot or Salesforce via the Apify integrations below. - **Bid/no-bid analytics** — track values, procedure types, single-bidder rates and deadline pressure across markets. ### How to use 1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) — the free plan is enough to try this actor. 2. Open the **Global Tenders Scraper**, choose your **sources**, **mode** and filters (keyword, country, CPV, value, dates), and click **Start**. 3. Watch tenders, awards and leads stream into the dataset table. 4. **Export** as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results programmatically via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). ### Input ```json { "mode": "all", "sources": ["ted", "uk", "worldbank"], "query": "cloud software", "countries": ["DE", "FR", "GB", "KE"], "cpvCodes": ["72"], "publishedAfter": "2026-06-01", "onlyOpenDeadlines": true, "minValue": 100000, "extractBuyerLeads": true, "extractSupplierLeads": true, "maxResults": 500, "monitorMode": false } ``` - **mode** — `tenders` (open opportunities), `awards` (who won), or `all`. - **sources** — any of `ted` (EU 27 + EEA), `uk` (UK Find a Tender), `worldbank` (100+ countries). - **query** — full-text keyword across title & description. - **countries** — ISO codes (`DE`, `GB`, `KE`) or names (`Germany`, `Kenya`). - **cpvCodes** — 2-digit sector (`72` = IT, `45` = construction, `33` = medical) or full 8-digit CPV. - **publishedAfter / publishedBefore** — date filters for fresh notices. - **onlyOpenDeadlines** — keep only tenders you can still bid on. - **minValue** — minimum estimated/awarded value (in the notice's own currency; not converted). - **extractBuyerLeads** *(default false)* — also emit one deduplicated buyer lead per contracting authority. - **extractSupplierLeads** *(default false)* — also emit one deduplicated lead per winning supplier. - **maxResults** — cap on tender/award records (split evenly across sources); leads are emitted in addition. - **monitorMode** *(default false)* — only emit notices not seen in previous runs; pair with [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules). ### Output One record per **tender**, **award**, **buyerLead**, or **supplierLead**. ```json { "type": "tender", "source": "TED (EU)", "sourceRegion": "European Union / EEA", "noticeId": "423565-2026", "title": "Germany – Software package and information systems – Digital time-tracking & staff-scheduling system", "description": "Procurement of an integrated digital time-tracking and workforce-scheduling system (PEP)…", "noticeType": "Contract notice", "procedureType": "Negotiated with prior call", "contractNature": "supplies", "buyerActivity": "education", "status": "Open", "cpvCodes": ["48000000", "72260000"], "cpvSectors": ["Software package & information systems", "IT services: consulting, software development, internet & support"], "buyer": { "name": "Stiftung Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover", "country": "Germany", "countryCode": "DE", "town": "Hannover", "postalCode": "30559", "address": "Bünteweg 2", "email": "vergabe@tiho-hannover.de", "phone": "+49 511953-8114", "website": "https://www.tiho-hannover.de", "buyerProfileUrl": null }, "country": "Germany", "publicationDate": "2026-06-18+02:00", "deadlineDate": "2026-07-14T09:00:00.000Z", "daysUntilDeadline": 26, "isOpen": true, "estimatedValue": null, "currency": "EUR", "totalValue": null, "award": null, "documentsUrl": ["https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/423565-2026"], "noticeUrl": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/423565-2026", "leadScore": 60, "scrapedAt": "2026-06-19T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` A contract **award** adds an `award` object: `{ "winnerName": "SOFTEAM", "winnerCountry": "France", "winnerSize": "medium", "awardValue": 2800000, "currency": "EUR" }`. A **buyerLead** promotes the buyer to the top level with `tenderCount`, `maxContractValue`, `sampleTitles`, `sampleNoticeUrls` and a `leadScore`. A **supplierLead** carries `supplierName`, `awardsWon`, `totalAwardValue` and `buyersWonFrom`. ### Automate & schedule Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack: - **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST. - **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** — official SDKs. - **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** — run it daily/hourly with `monitorMode` on to capture only newly published tenders and awards; perfect for bid alerts and lead pipelines. - **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes. ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/global-tenders-scraper').call({ mode: 'tenders', sources: ['ted', 'uk', 'worldbank'], query: 'cyber security', countries: ['DE', 'GB'], onlyOpenDeadlines: true, extractBuyerLeads: true, maxResults: 500, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(`Got ${items.length} tenders & buyer leads`); ``` ### Integrate with any app Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required: - **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** — multi-step automation scenarios. - **[Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier)** — push new buyer leads straight into your CRM. - **[Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack)** — get notified when a monitored search finds new tenders. - **[Google Drive / Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive)** — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet. - **[Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte)** — pipe results into your data warehouse. - **[GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github)** — trigger runs from commits or releases. ### Use with AI assistants (MCP) The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the **[Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp)** — ask your assistant to "find open IT tenders in Germany over €100k and list the buyers' contact emails" and let it run this scraper for you. ### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire) This actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards: - **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key. - **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows. Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes. ### More scrapers from scrapesage Build a complete **public-sector & B2B intelligence stack**: - **[SAM.gov Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/sam-gov-scraper)** — US federal contract opportunities (the US sibling to this actor). - **[USAspending Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/usaspending-scraper)** — US federal awards, recipients & contractor leads. - **[US Federal Grants Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/us-federal-grants-scraper)** — Grants.gov, NIH & NSF funding opportunities. - **[Companies House Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/companies-house-scraper)** — verify UK buyers & suppliers (directors, PSCs, filings). - **[French Company Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/french-company-scraper)** — SIRENE firmographics, executives & B2B leads. - **[US Business Formation Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/us-business-formation-scraper)** — newly registered US companies as fresh B2B leads. - **[SEC EDGAR Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/sec-edgar-scraper)** — US public-company filings & financials. - **[Website Contact Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/website-contact-scraper)** — enrich any buyer or supplier domain with emails, phones & socials. ### Tips - **Go deeper than the cap**: each source returns hundreds of thousands of notices. Split runs by `country`, `cpvCodes` or date window to exhaust a large market, and raise `maxResults`. - **Fresh leads**: combine `publishedAfter` (or `monitorMode`) with `extractBuyerLeads` to build a daily pipeline of brand-new contracting authorities. - **CPV cheat-sheet**: `72` IT services · `48` software · `45` construction · `33` medical · `79` business services · `71` engineering · `85` health · `80` education. - **Awards = intel**: set `mode: "awards"` + `extractSupplierLeads` to map who dominates a sector and what they charge. - **Proxies**: the default Apify proxy is plenty — these are clean public/government APIs. ### FAQ **Which countries are covered?** TED covers the EU 27 plus EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) and more; UK Find a Tender covers the post-Brexit United Kingdom; the World Bank source covers donor-funded procurement across 100+ developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and beyond. **Do I need an API key or login?** No. All three sources are official, free, keyless APIs (EU TED v3, UK Find a Tender OCDS, World Bank procurement API). No browser, no cookies. **What's the difference between tenders and awards?** A tender (contract notice) is a live opportunity you can bid on; an award (contract award notice) records who won and for how much — use it for competitor and pricing intelligence. **How do I monitor for new tenders automatically?** Turn on `monitorMode` and create a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) (e.g. daily). The actor remembers everything it has already returned and emits only new notices — and it runs *alongside* Apify's scheduler, never against it. **Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel?** Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the [Google Drive integration](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive). **Where do the buyer emails come from?** Directly from the official procurement notices — contracting authorities publish their contact email, phone and address as part of the tender. This actor simply normalizes them across sources. **Is scraping public procurement data legal?** This actor collects publicly available data from official government and multilateral procurement portals. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and each source's terms. **A value field is null — why?** Many tenders genuinely don't publish an estimated value until award (or at all), and the World Bank notices don't include contract values. Fields are `null` only when the source doesn't provide the data, never because the scraper skipped them. ### Need help?

Feature requests are welcome — this actor is actively maintained. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): 'Open tenders' = live opportunities you can still bid on (newest first). 'Contract awards' = who won, for how much (market & competitor intelligence). 'Both' returns tenders and awards together. ## `sources` (type: `array`): Which official procurement registries to pull from. TED = the EU 27 + EEA (Tenders Electronic Daily). UK = the UK Find a Tender Service (post-Brexit). World Bank = donor-funded tenders across 100+ developing countries. Combine any/all in one run. ## `query` (type: `string`): Free-text search across title and description (e.g. 'cloud hosting', 'school construction', 'cyber security'). Applied as a full-text query on TED and matched client-side on UK & World Bank. Leave empty to rely on country / CPV filters or to pull everything newest-first. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Filter by buyer/project country. Accepts ISO codes (DE, FR, GB, KE) or names (Germany, Kenya). TED filters by buyer country; World Bank by project country; UK is included only when GB / United Kingdom is in the list (or the list is empty). ## `cpvCodes` (type: `array`): Filter by Common Procurement Vocabulary code. Use a 2-digit division for a whole sector (72 = IT services, 45 = construction, 33 = medical, 79 = business services) or a full 8-digit code. TED filters server-side; UK matches client-side. World Bank has no CPV and is skipped when this filter is set. ## `publishedAfter` (type: `string`): Only notices published on/after this date — the key to fresh, high-intent opportunities. Example: 2026-06-01. ## `publishedBefore` (type: `string`): Only notices published on/before this date (TED only). ## `onlyOpenDeadlines` (type: `boolean`): Drop tenders whose submission deadline has already passed — keep only opportunities you can still bid on. ## `minValue` (type: `integer`): Keep only tenders/awards whose estimated or awarded value is at least this amount (in the notice's own currency — values are not converted). Notices that don't publish a value are kept. ## `extractBuyerLeads` (type: `boolean`): Also output one deduplicated lead record per contracting authority (buyer) — name, email, phone, website, full address, how many tenders they ran, biggest contract value and a lead score. Ideal for selling INTO the public sector. ## `extractSupplierLeads` (type: `boolean`): Also output one deduplicated lead record per winning supplier (from contract awards) — company, country, number of awards won, total awarded value and the buyers they won from. Ideal for competitor intel & partner prospecting. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of tender/award records to emit (split evenly across the selected sources). Buyer/supplier leads are emitted in addition to this limit. ## `deduplicateResults` (type: `boolean`): Emit each notice (by source + notice id) only once per run. ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Remember notices returned in previous runs and emit ONLY new ones. Pair with Apify Schedules to capture freshly published tenders and awards automatically (daily/hourly). Works alongside — not instead of — the built-in scheduler. ## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`): Named key-value store holding the 'already seen' ids for monitoring mode. Use a different name per tracked scope (e.g. one per country or keyword). ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum parallel API requests. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. The TED, UK and World Bank APIs are clean public/government endpoints, so the default Apify proxy is plenty. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "tenders", "sources": [ "ted", "uk", "worldbank" ], "query": "cloud software", "countries": [], "cpvCodes": [], "onlyOpenDeadlines": false, "minValue": 0, "extractBuyerLeads": false, "extractSupplierLeads": false, "maxResults": 200, "deduplicateResults": true, "monitorMode": false, "monitorStoreName": "global-tenders-monitor", "maxConcurrency": 4, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped records in the default dataset. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
