Public Tenders - UK, US, Australia, Brazil, Ukraine Contracts

Government tenders and contract awards from official open-data APIs: UK Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, Australia AusTender, Brazil PNCP, Ukraine Prozorro, US USAspending (and SAM.gov with your key). Buyer, values, winners, deadlines, CPV/NAICS. $1.20 per 1,000 notices.

Government tenders and contract awards from five countries in one clean table, straight from the official open-data APIs. Pick sources and a date window and get every new public procurement notice: UK Find a Tender (above-threshold tenders, awards and contracts) and UK Contracts Finder (lower-value UK opportunities and awards), Australia AusTender (every Australian Government contract notice), Brazil PNCP (licitações, pregões and dispensas from all Brazilian public bodies), Ukraine Prozorro (tenders and awards) and US USAspending (federal contract awards), plus SAM.gov federal opportunities if you add your own free API key. Each row: title, description, buyer and location, estimated and awarded value with currency, winning suppliers, bid deadline, status, procedure, CPV / UNSPSC / NAICS / PSC codes and a link to the official notice. Filter by keywords, notice type (open tenders, awards, contracts, planning), minimum value and buyer name. Switch on monitor mode for daily schedules and each run returns only notices you haven't seen yet: a cheap tender alert and bid-sourcing feed for sales teams, bid writers, consultancies and SMEs, plus market intelligence on who wins public contracts and data for AI agents. Works with Make, n8n, Zapier and Slack. Sibling of our EU Tenders (TED) actor with the same row style. $1.20 per 1,000 notices, no compute bill on top; runs that find nothing return a free status row.

How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the actor always respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and it stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

Event	Price	Charged	Worked example
notice	$0.0012	per tender notice, award or contract row	1,000 notices = $1.20
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	per run per GB of memory (platform start fee)	One run at 512 MB = $0.00005

Input options

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
sources	array	no	["uk-find-a-tender","uk-contracts-finder","australia-austender","brazil-pncp","ukraine-prozorro","us-usaspending","us-sam"]	UK Find a Tender (above-threshold tenders and awards), UK Contracts Finder (lower-value UK notices and awards), AusTender (Australian Government contract notices), Brazil PNCP (all public purchases under Lei 14.133), Ukraine Prozorro (tenders and awards), USAspending (US federal contract awards) and SAM.gov (US federal opportunities; needs your free API key, skipped without one).
keywords	array	no	—	Only notices whose title or description contains one of these words or phrases (whole words, case- and accent-insensitive), e.g. "software", "cleaning", "cybersecurity". Use the notice's language for Brazil ("limpeza") and Ukraine ("програмне"). Leave empty for all notices.
publishedFrom	string	no	"7 days"	First publication date: YYYY-MM-DD or relative ('7 days', '2 weeks', '1 month', 'yesterday', 'today'). The window is at most 366 days.
publishedTo	string	no	—	Last publication date (inclusive): YYYY-MM-DD or relative. Empty = today.
noticeTypes	array	no	—	Tender = open opportunities you can bid on; Award = who won and for how much; Contract = signed contracts (AusTender, UK); Planning = prior information and market engagement. Empty = all.
minValue	integer	no	—	Only notices with an estimated or awarded value of at least this amount, in the notice's own currency (GBP, AUD, BRL, UAH, USD). Notices without a value are excluded when this is set.
buyerName	string	no	—	Only notices from buyers whose name contains this text, e.g. 'NHS', 'Department of Defence', 'Prefeitura'.
brazilModalities	array	no	[6,4,8]	PNCP modalidade codes to read (the API needs one per request): 6 = Pregão eletrônico, 4 = Concorrência eletrônica, 8 = Dispensa, 9 = Inexigibilidade, 1 = Leilão eletrônico, 3 = Concurso, 12 = Credenciamento (1-13).
samApiKey	string	no	—	Your free public API key from SAM.gov (Account Details > API Key). Needed only for the us-sam source; without it SAM.gov is skipped with a note and the run continues. Personal keys allow a limited number of requests per day.
onlyNewSinceLastRun	boolean	no	false	For scheduled runs: skip notices already delivered by an earlier run with the same sources and filters, so each run returns (and charges for) only new ones. Hashed IDs are kept in the key-value store 'public-tenders-monitor' in your account.
maxResults	integer	no	200	Stop after this many notices in total, split evenly between the selected sources, newest first. You are charged only for notices delivered.

Limits & honest notes

• Sources and licences (each row's dataLicense names it; please keep the attribution when you republish): UK Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, Cabinet Office, Open Government Licence v3.0 ("Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0"). AusTender, Department of Finance, CC BY 3.0 AU. Brazil PNCP public consultation API. Ukraine Prozorro public API. USAspending.gov, U.S. Treasury (public domain). SAM.gov Contract Opportunities (GSA), with your own API key. Not affiliated with any of these bodies.
• SAM.gov needs a free personal API key (samApiKey). Without one, the SAM source is skipped with a note in the run summary and the run continues with the others; it never fails. Personal keys have a small daily request quota, so the actor asks for 1,000 opportunities per request.
• Each source is paced under its own limits (about 1 request per second for the UK, AusTender, USAspending and SAM, 2/s for PNCP, 4/s for Prozorro), with Retry-After honoured. Prozorro lists tenders only by modification time, so its details are fetched one by one (up to 1,000 per run).
• What each source covers: AusTender's open-data API publishes contract notices (awarded contracts), not open approaches to market. USAspending gives federal contract awards (not open solicitations; use SAM.gov for those). PNCP needs a modality per request (default: pregão eletrônico, concorrência eletrônica, dispensa). UK sources include tenders, awards and contracts.
• Keywords are matched in the title and description in the notice's language (USAspending also searches server-side). Values are in each notice's own currency, with no conversion.
• maxResults is split evenly between the selected sources, newest first; a source with fewer matches leaves its share unused.
• Contact persons, e-mail addresses and phone numbers in notices are never output; buyers and winning suppliers are organisations as published.
• Respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and the run stops cleanly at the cap, with nothing charged twice. A run with no matches returns one free status row explaining why.
