UK Public Tenders Search (Contracts Finder and Find a Tender)
Get clean, filterable UK public sector tenders, awards and planning notices from the two official government portals, Contracts Finder and Find a Tender, in one dataset. Filter by keyword, CPV code, buyer, region and contract value, and get one tidy JSON record per notice instead of raw OCDS. It reads the official open APIs, so there is no scraping, no login and no breakage when a site is redesigned. Run it on a schedule and you have a tender alert feed for bid teams, consultancies and sales teams selling to the public sector.

Example input
Common uses
- Daily tender alerts. Schedule the Actor every morning with your keywords and send the dataset to Slack, email or a spreadsheet using Apify integrations.
- Competitor and market research. Use
stages: ["award"]to see who won which contracts, for how much, and which buyers keep re-buying. - Early pipeline. Use
stages: ["planning"]to see buyer intentions before a tender is published.
Pricing
Pay per result: $3 per 1,000 notices saved to the dataset. No subscription. Set maxItems to cap your spend. A typical daily alert run returns a few dozen notices and costs a few cents.
Data source and licence
Notices come from the official Contracts Finder and Find a Tender OCDS APIs, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The Actor requests data politely, paces its requests and retries when asked to slow down. Buyer contact names and email addresses are deliberately left out of the output.
FAQ
How far back can I look? Up to 90 days with daysBack. For ongoing monitoring, schedule a daily run with daysBack: 2.
Why did I get fewer results than maxItems? Only notices that match all your filters are saved. Loosen the keywords or widen daysBack.
Do I get duplicates between the two portals? Each portal publishes its own notices, and duplicates within a run are removed by notice ID.
Can I get the full tender documents? The url field links to the official notice, where documents are attached.
