UK Contracts Finder: Tender & RFP Monitor

Find active UK public-procurement opportunities from the official Contracts Finder OCDS feed. Return clean, structured tender and planning notices for sales teams, bid managers, and procurement-intelligence workflows.

What it does

• Reads official UK Contracts Finder structured releases.
• Keeps active and planning opportunities while excluding generic page noise and completed awards.
• Matches configurable keywords against titles and descriptions.
• Returns official notice links, deadlines, values, and procurement metadata.

Quick start

1. Enter the products, services, or sectors you sell.
2. Choose a recency window and result limit.
3. Run once to explore opportunities.
4. Save the configuration as an Apify Task and schedule it for daily or weekly monitoring.

Example input

{
  "keywords": ["cloud", "software", "digital", "cyber security"],
  "lookback_days": 30,
  "max_items": 100
}

Output

Each dataset item is one official procurement notice and includes:

title, description, status, notice_type	Opportunity details
published_at, deadline	Timing for bid qualification
value_amount, value_currency	Published contract value where available
procurement_method, url, matched_keyword	Method, official URL, and match evidence

The run output also exposes a results dataset link and structured summary with quality counts and warnings.

Common use cases
