Daily AI-scored stream of Finnish public-procurement notices that match your ICP.
What this does
Hilma is where every Finnish public-sector tender gets published. Cities, hospitals, ministries, state agencies — if they buy anything over the national threshold, it shows up there. The portal is open data, but unusable for sales: thousands of notices a year across every sector.
This Actor runs on a schedule and gives you only the notices that actually match your ICP, scored 0-100 with a Finnish-language rationale you can paste straight into a sales note.
What you get
Per notice in the output Dataset:
- buyer, CPV codes, declared value (EUR), submission deadline, link to the official Hilma listing
- AI-generated relevance score (0-100) against your ICP description
- One-paragraph Finnish rationale explaining the score
buying_signalflag (high/medium/low)- Optional Slack/webhook fan-out for hot leads (score 70+)
Output is downloadable as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console.
How to use
- Describe your ICP in Finnish or English. One paragraph is enough.
- Optionally narrow with CPV-code prefixes (e.g.
72= IT services,80= education), keywords, buyer-org filters, minimum value. - Bring your own Anthropic API key (https://console.anthropic.com) — we use Claude to score each notice. Your costs scale with how tight your pre-filter is, not with our pricing.
- Bring your own Hilma API key — free, self-service registration at https://hns-hilma-prod-apim.developer.azure-api.net/ (subscribe to the avp-read product, copy the primary key). 5-minute setup.
- Run it manually or schedule it daily in Apify. Results land in the Dataset; high-scoring notices fire your webhook.
Legal posture
This Actor uses Hilma's official avp-read API, which is explicitly designed for value-added services by the Finnish Ministry of Finance and operated by Hansel Oy. From their public docs: "The interface is designed so that data is not served directly from the interface to the end user. The value-added service provider is intended to import notices into their own service, enrich and process them as they wish, and serve their users from their own system." That is exactly this Actor's design.
Free of charge. Rate-limited per user (your own key), which is why you bring your own.
Why it's not just "ChatGPT over Hilma"
Three things make it usable for daily sales work:
- Deduplication. Notices are seen once across runs. You won't get the same tender twice.
- Cheap pre-filter. CPV / keyword / buyer / value filters run in code before any LLM call. You pay for AI scoring only on candidates that already structurally fit.
- Finnish-native scoring. The prompt is in Finnish, the rationale comes back in Finnish, and the model handles Finnish procurement vocabulary (hankintayksikkö, puitejärjestely, kynnysarvo).
What it's not
- Not a CRM. Outputs are a Dataset and webhook payloads — pipe it into your own stack.
- Not a tender-writing tool. We help you find which tenders to pitch, not draft the response.
- Not real-time. Hilma notices land daily; the Actor pulls a configurable lookback window per run (default 24h).
Pricing
Rental: 49 EUR/month flat, unlimited runs. Plus your own Anthropic API costs (typically under 1 EUR/month if you pre-filter sensibly).
Built by
Aihu Agency — AI + Human. Work smarter.
Built because we needed it ourselves for finding AI-consulting tenders in the Finnish public sector. We use it daily on our own pipeline and figured you'd want the same.
