Development Project Tenders & Procurement Notices Monitor

Invitations for bids, requests for expressions of interest and contract awards on development projects financed by the World Bank, from the World Bank's open Procurement Notices dataset. Filter by country, including the Middle East and North Africa, and by notice type, procurement method, keyword and date. Schedule it with onlyNew and each run returns only notices you have not seen.

No API key, no login, no browser, no proxy. The data comes from the official public API that the World Bank Data Catalog lists for this dataset.

Plus noticeId, noticeStatus, region, bidReference, sectors, language, noticeVersion, description, source, scrapedAt and changeType.

Organizations only. borrowerAgency is the implementing agency. Contact persons' names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers are never copied into a row. In description they are scrubbed out: e-mail addresses, phone-like numbers, and the listed contact person's name. Contract award notices carry no description at all, because their text lists bidders, and an individual consultant is a person.

The Gulf states have no notices. The World Bank does not finance projects in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain or Oman. A query for those six codes returned 0 notices on 15 Sep 2026. Gulf firms bidding on MENA projects should filter by the borrowing countries instead.

Only new notices

Turn on onlyNew and schedule the Actor. Each run returns only notices not delivered before (changeType: NEW), or re-published under a higher notice version (UPDATED). The first run returns everything in the window as NEW.

The delivered notice ids live in a named key-value store in your account (stateStoreName, default worldbank-procurement-state). Use a different name for each separate monitor.

Only notices that were actually delivered are remembered. If a run stops at your spending limit, or a page fails, the notices it did not deliver still arrive as new next time.

Honest notes

Deadlines are the borrower's local time. The API gives the deadline date and clock time with no time zone, so deadline is 2026-09-23T11:30 with no offset. When the time is missing it is a date only. publishedAt is a date: the dataset has no publication time.

Some notice text has broken characters. A few notices contain � where the source already lost an accented letter or curly quote. It comes from the dataset and is passed through unchanged.

Date windows are applied by the Actor. The API has no date-range filter. Notices come newest first, so paging stops as soon as a page reaches notices older than your window. A deadline filter with no publication window has to scan every matching notice. It is capped at 20,000 notices per run, and the status message says so if the cap is reached.

Every filter is checked twice. It is sent to the API and re-checked on each notice, so a parameter the API ignores cannot slip unwanted rows into your dataset.

robots.txt is read first, and the Actor only ever contacts search.worldbank.org.

Every run publishes a report to the key-value store under RUN_REPORT: requests, notices scanned, delivered, filtered out and already seen, and whether the run was cut short.
