Pakistan PPRA Tenders, Contracts & Evaluations (EPMS)

Public procurement data from Pakistan's Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA): its e-Publish & Monitoring System, epms.ppra.gov.pk, as clean, structured JSON.

• Active tenders (recordType: "tenders", the default): every tender open for bidding on EPMS, newest first, with the tender and reference numbers, title, description, sector, organization, office and city, status (including cancellations and corrigenda), advertisement date and closing time.
• Awarded contracts (recordType: "contracts"): contracts published after award, with the PPRA contract number, the winner, the awarded amount in rupees, the organization and office, the publication date and a link to the signed contract.
• Bid evaluation results (recordType: "evaluations"): published pre-qualification, technical and final evaluations, with the number of bids and the lowest bidder.

Turn on includeDetail to also read each record's own page for the fields only it has: tender type, category, procedure, method, bid security, opening time and document links; a contract's signing date, tender value, number of bids and integrity-pact and complaint flags; an evaluation's tender dates and report link.

Who needs this

• Contractors, suppliers and consultants bidding for Pakistani federal public contracts who want new tenders in their sector every morning instead of paging through the portal.
• Tender-alert services and bid consultants building feeds, e-mail digests or WhatsApp/Telegram alerts.
• Sales and competitive-intelligence teams tracking which companies win which contracts, for how much, from which ministries, and who comes in lowest in evaluations.
• Analysts, journalists and researchers studying public spending, competition (bids per tender), contract sizes and procurement methods.
• Market-entry and trade teams sizing public demand by sector and organization.
• AI agents and automations that need a stable schema instead of a heavy HTML portal.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
recordType	string	"tenders"	tenders (active tenders), contracts (awarded contracts) or evaluations (bid evaluation results). One run returns one record type.
keyword	string	""	Matched by EPMS against titles, descriptions and numbers.
tenderNumber	string	""	One EPMS tender number, e.g. TS0000014731E; for contracts and evaluations, the tender they belong to.
organization	string	""	The procuring organization, e.g. Ministry of Energy (Power Division), PPRA or NHA. A name that identifies one EPMS organization is filtered by EPMS; otherwise the actor keeps records whose organization or office contains the text (case-insensitive).
sector	string	all	Tenders and evaluations: one of the EPMS sectors, e.g. Civil Works, Services, Health/Medicines, Info and Comm Tech.
city	string	""	Only records of procuring offices in this city, e.g. Lahore.
evaluationType	string	all	Evaluations: pq, technical or final.
minValue	integer	none	Contracts: awarded amount of at least this many rupees.
maxValue	integer	none	Contracts: awarded amount of at most this many rupees.
publishedSince	string	""	Records EPMS published on or after the Pakistan calendar day of this point: tenders by advertisement date, contracts and evaluations by publication date. A relative span (24 hours, 7 days, 2 weeks), a date (2026-09-20) or an ISO-8601 timestamp.
includeDetail	boolean	false	Also read each record's detail page (one extra request per record, about 2.5 seconds each).
maxItems	integer	100	Stop after this many records (1-10,000), 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. Examples:

{ "publishedSince": "24 hours", "sector": "Civil Works", "maxItems": 500 }

{ "recordType": "contracts", "minValue": 100000000, "includeDetail": true }

{ "recordType": "evaluations", "organization": "PPRA", "evaluationType": "final" }

Every active tender: leave the filters empty and set maxItems to about 2,500 (EPMS lists roughly 2,300 active tenders at a time).

Output

One dataset item per tender, contract or evaluation. Every item has a recordType field, tender, contract or evaluation; a run stores one record type only, so a run's dataset is homogeneous. Text is kept as EPMS publishes it, trimmed and with HTML entities decoded. Dates are Pakistan calendar days (YYYY-MM-DD), times are ISO-8601 in Pakistan time (+05:00), amounts are numbers in Pakistani rupees next to the text as printed, and fetchedAt is UTC. Fields that only the detail page has are null unless includeDetail is on; hasDetail tells which. The Output tab on this page documents every field. The dataset has three table views: "Tenders", "Contracts" and "Evaluations".

About dates

EPMS lists contracts and evaluations by the date it published them (publishedOn), which is what publishedSince filters on. A contract's signing date (signedOn) and the exact publication time are on its detail page only. Tenders carry their advertisement date and their closing date and time; the bid opening time comes from the detail page.

About amounts

The contract list prints whole rupees (Rs. 1,526,625); awardedAmountPkr is that number and awardedAmountText keeps the text as printed. With includeDetail, awardedAmountExactPkr has the amount with paisa as the detail page prints it, and tenderValuePkr the tender's value.

Pricing

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

• tender-notice: one per active tender stored.
• award-result: one per awarded contract stored.
• evaluation-result: one per evaluation result stored.
• record-detail: one per stored record whose detail page was read (includeDetail).

A run charges one of the first three, depending on recordType, plus record-detail when you ask for detail; the actor defines no start event of its own. It stores each page before it is charged, plans every page against your spending limit before reading any detail page, and stops cleanly when the 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 PPRA's e-Publish & Monitoring System: Active Tenders, Contracts and Evaluation Results, and each record's public page. Pakistan's Public Procurement Rules 2004 require procuring agencies to publish these notices, and EPMS publishes no robots.txt restrictions. The actor:

• sends one request at a time with at least 2 seconds between requests, with an honest User-Agent that names the actor;
• reads list pages first (50 records each) and detail pages only when you ask for them;
• retries connection resets, timeouts and server errors with exponential backoff inside a fixed budget, and stops with a clear error if EPMS keeps refusing;
• stops shortly before the run's timeout and keeps what it has stored;
• never logs in, never uses the credentialed e-PADS interfaces and never downloads tender documents; it links to them.

EPMS pages carry a copyright notice of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority. The actor publishes metadata and links only; follow detailUrl and the document links for the official pages and documents.

Data and privacy

The output is procurement metadata exactly as the government publishes it by law. EPMS detail pages name a contact officer for every record, with an e-mail address and often a phone number, and larger contracts carry a beneficial-ownership block: the actor never stores any of these. E-mail addresses and phone numbers that appear inside free text (description, note, remarks, cancellation reason, office address) are replaced with [contact removed]. Winners and lowest bidders are mostly companies and are kept as published; a few are sole proprietors named after a person, and the actor adds nothing to them. It does not enrich, profile or combine records with other sources. If you process names of individuals, you are responsible for doing so lawfully.

Limitations

• Tenders are active tenders only: the list EPMS shows as "Active Tenders", including cancelled ones until they close (status: "Cancelled"). Closed tenders are not included.
• Federal procurement: EPMS covers federal ministries, divisions, attached departments and federal companies. Provincial procurement is published on provincial portals.
• Descriptions in the list are shortened (ending in ...); includeDetail gives the full text.
• Some contracts have no publication date: EPMS prints none for its oldest contracts, so publishedOn is null and a publishedSince filter leaves them out.
• Detail fields can be missing even with includeDetail: EPMS leaves out the number of bids, plan number or tender value for some contracts, and those fields are then null.
• Organization matching: EPMS filters by the top-level organization (usually a ministry or authority). A name that matches several organizations, or an office such as NDRMF that EPMS lists under a ministry, is matched by the actor against the newest records; it reads at most 5,000 records for such a search.
• Dates are days: publishedSince works on Pakistan calendar days, because EPMS lists publication dates without a time.
• The lists are read newest first while EPMS keeps publishing; a record that moves between pages during a run is stored once.
