Ghana GHANEPS Tenders & Awarded Contracts (ghaneps.gov.gh)

Current tenders and awarded contracts from Ghana's national electronic procurement system, GHANEPS, as clean, English-keyed JSON.

• Tenders (recordType: "tenders", the default): tenders open for bids (or in any other status you choose), newest publication first, with the tender ID, title, short description, procuring entity, procedure, status, publication date, bid submission deadline and links to the tender page and its notice PDF.
• Awarded contracts (recordType: "awards"): the portal's Awarded Contracts list, newest award first, with the tender, procuring entity, supplier, award date and time, amount and currency, lot, and links to the tender page and notice PDF.

Who needs this

• Suppliers and contractors bidding for Ghanaian public contracts who want every new tender in their field each morning instead of checking the portal by hand.
• Tender-alert services and bid consultants building feeds, e-mail digests or WhatsApp/Telegram alerts for clients in Ghana.
• Market-entry and trade teams sizing public demand for goods, works and services by agency and region.
• Analysts, journalists and researchers following public spending: who buys what, which suppliers win, and for how much.
• Sales and competitive-intelligence teams tracking which companies win which contracts.
• AI agents and automations that need a stable schema instead of the portal's HTML.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
recordType	string	"tenders"	tenders or awards. One run returns one record type.
keyword	string	""	Tenders: the title contains this text (the portal refuses <, >, & and %). Awards: the title, supplier name or lot name contains it. Case-insensitive.
procuringEntity	string	""	The procuring entity contains this text, e.g. District Assembly, Ghana Health Service, Ministry of Finance. Case-insensitive.
tenderStatus	string	"open"	Tenders only: open (accepting bids), awaitingOpening, evaluation, awarded, cancelled, established, forArchival, archived, or all for every tender listed.
category	string	all	Tenders only: goods, works, technicalServices, consultingServices or disposals.
procedure	string	all	Tenders only: the procedure code, e.g. nct (National Competitive Tendering), ict, rfq, sst, sss, qcbs.eoi, qcbs.rfp, lcs.eoi, ic, em. The input form lists all.
publishedSince	string	""	Tenders only: published at or after this point. A relative span (24 hours, 7 days, 2 weeks), a date (2026-09-20, midnight Ghana time) or an ISO-8601 timestamp.
awardedSince	string	""	Awards only: awarded at or after this point. Same formats as publishedSince.
maxItems	integer	100	Stop after this many tenders or awards (1-20,000), newest first.
proxyConfiguration	object	no proxy	Optional Apify Proxy. Not needed normally; use it only if runs fail with connection errors.

A filter that does not apply to the chosen record type is ignored, and the run log says so. Ghana keeps GMT all year, so Ghana time is UTC. Examples:

{ "category": "works", "procuringEntity": "District Assembly", "publishedSince": "14 days" }

{ "recordType": "awards", "awardedSince": "7 days", "maxItems": 500 }

Output

One dataset item per tender or per awarded contract. Every item has a recordType field, tender or award; a run stores one record type only, so a run's dataset is homogeneous. Keys are English; text is kept as the portal publishes it, trimmed and with HTML entities decoded. Dates are ISO-8601 with an explicit +00:00 (Ghana time is UTC), awardedOn is a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD), and fetchedAt is UTC. The Output tab on this page documents every field. The dataset has two table views: "Tenders" and "Awards".

About IDs, lots and amounts

• tenderId is GHANEPS's own numeric ID for the tender, the same in the tender list, the award list and the portal's links, so tenders and their awards join on it. The procuring entity's reference number is on the tender page (detailUrl).
• A tender split into lots, or awarded to several suppliers, has one award per lot and supplier. The portal occasionally lists the very same award twice; the actor stores it once.
• amount is a number in currency (usually GHS, the Ghana cedi); amountText keeps the cell as printed. Single lines of framework or multi-lot awards often have no amount (the portal prints N/A), and then all three are null.
• category is filled only when you filter by category: the tender list does not print it (the tender page does).

Pricing

Pay per event, charged only for records actually stored in your dataset:

• tender-notice: one per tender stored.
• award-result: one per awarded contract stored.

A run charges one of the two, depending on recordType; the actor defines no start event of its own. It stores each page before it is charged and stops cleanly when your spending limit is reached, so you never pay for data you cannot see.

Data source and politeness

The data comes from the public, login-free pages of GHANEPS, run by Ghana's Public Procurement Authority (PPA): the tender search behind "Search the tender registry" and the "Awarded Contracts" list. The portal is slow (2-5 seconds per page) and serves 10 records per page, so the actor is deliberately gentle:

• one request at a time, with at least 2 seconds between requests, and an honest User-Agent that names the actor;
• retries connection resets, timeouts and server errors with exponential backoff inside a fixed budget, and stops with a clear error if the portal keeps refusing;
• stops shortly before the run's timeout and keeps what it has stored;
• never logs in, never downloads notice PDFs or tender documents (it links them).

Expect roughly 100 records a minute. The default 300-second run timeout covers the default 100 records comfortably; raise it for runs of several thousand.

Deep history: the PPA also publishes its procurement data in the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS), monthly and months behind (listed as "Ghana: Public Procurement Authority" in the Open Contracting Data Registry). Use that for multi-year analysis; use this actor for what was published or awarded today.

Data and privacy

The output is procurement metadata exactly as the government publishes it. Suppliers are mostly companies, but some "ENTERPRISE" or "VENTURES" names are sole proprietorships named after their owner, so supplierName can include a person's name: the actor keeps it as published and adds nothing to it. It does not enrich, profile or combine records with other sources, and it drops any e-mail address or phone number that appears in the text it stores. If you process names of individuals, you are responsible for doing so lawfully.

Limitations

• Open tenders are few: GHANEPS lists only the tenders run on it, about 60 open for bids at a time in September 2026. tenderStatus: "all" returns every tender the portal lists (about 4,000), in every status.
• No reference number, category or UNSPSC code in the lists: they are on each tender page (detailUrl), which the actor does not fetch.
• Keyword and entity for tenders are applied by the portal and re-checked by the actor ("contains"). The award list takes no filters, so for awards the actor reads the newest awards and keeps the matches, reading at most 5,000 of them per run; add awardedSince to bound a search by date.
• Award amounts can be null (see above); other currencies than GHS are parsed when the portal prints them with their code.
• The lists are read newest first while the portal keeps publishing; a record that moves between pages during a run is stored once.
