## Pricing

from $7.00 / 1,000 awards

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Etimad Saudi Award Results Scraper

Award results of Saudi government tenders, live from Etimad (tenders.etimad.sa), the national e-procurement platform: who won, at what value, and who else bid. Every row is one winning supplier of one tender, with the winning and offered values in SAR, the award type (full or split), the total award value, all bidders with their offers and technical results, the buying agency, the tender reference and title, and the link to the public tender page. Split awards (ترسية جزئية) return one row per winning supplier.

Pair it with our [Etimad Saudi Tenders Scraper](https://apify.com/automatic/etimad-tenders-scraper): awards and tenders share the same `referenceNumber` and `tenderKey`, so you can join what was advertised with who won it.

Use it for market intelligence and supplier tracking: schedule a daily run over your agencies and see every new award, filter by tender type to follow direct purchases (awarded within days) or public tenders, and aggregate by supplier to rank who wins what in Saudi Arabia.

### Quick Start

The latest awards, newest tenders first (a small sample):

```json
{}
```

Award results of public tenders published in the last 90 days:

```json
{
  "tenderType": "publicTender",
  "publishedWithinDays": 90,
  "maxResults": 500
}
```

Daily feed: only new or changed awards since the last run:

```json
{
  "agency": "حرس الحدود",
  "publishedWithinDays": 30,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true,
  "stateKey": "border-guard-awards"
}
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---:|---|
| `keyword` | string | `""` | Text searched in the tender name, number and reference (most tenders are in Arabic). |
| `referenceNumber` | string | `""` | One tender by its Etimad reference number; returns its award results only. |
| `agency` | string | `""` | Agency code (12 digits), exact Arabic name, or a name fragment such as `حرس الحدود`. |
| `tenderType` | string | `any` | `publicTender`, `directPurchase`, `limitedTender`, `reverseAuction`, `frameworkAgreement` and more. |
| `regions` | array | `[]` | Region names in English or Arabic, or ids 1-13, e.g. `["Riyadh", "Eastern Province"]`. |
| `publishedWithinDays` | integer | `30` | Awards of tenders published in the last N days (Riyadh time, today included). |
| `publishedFrom`, `publishedTo` | string | `""` | Tender publication date window, `YYYY-MM-DD`. |
| `maxResults` | integer | `50` | Maximum award rows returned (one row per winning supplier). Up to 10,000. With no filters and no `maxResults`, a 10-row sample. |
| `includeBidders` | boolean | `true` | Also list every supplier that submitted an offer, with its offer and technical result. |
| `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | boolean | `false` | Daily-feed mode: return only new awards, or ones whose supplier, value or award type changed. |
| `stateKey` | string | `""` | Name of the remembered feed; same key = same feed. Leave empty to derive it from the input. |

All filters are optional and can be combined. An empty input returns a small sample of the 10 latest awards; set any filter or `maxResults` for a full run. An agency fragment that matches a parent agency returns the awards of all its branches.

### What it returns

Every row has `awardKey` (unique per tender and winning supplier), `referenceNumber`, `tenderKey`, `tenderId`, `tenderNumber`, `title`, `buyer`, `buyerCode`, `branch`, `tenderType`, `tenderTypeEnglish`, `status` (`awarded`), `statusArabic`, `activity`, `insideKsa`, `regions`, `regionsEnglish`, `publishedAt`, `bidDeadline`, `documentPrice`, `currency` (SAR), `country` (SA), `url`, `sourceQuery`, `source` and `scrapedAt`.

The award fields are `supplier` (winning organisation, as published), `offerValue` (its financial offer), `awardedValue` (the value awarded to it), `awardedValueTotal` (the whole award), `awardType` (`full` or `partial`), `awardTypeArabic`, `suppliersCount`, `biddersCount` and — unless `includeBidders` is off — `bidders`, the full list of suppliers that submitted an offer with their offers and technical results. In daily-feed mode rows also carry `changeType` (`new` or `changed`) and `changedFields`.

A tender is checked only once per run; if its award page cannot be read, that is counted in the run summary and the run continues. Tenders run on partner procurement portals have no public award data and are skipped.

`buyerCode`, `tenderNumber` and `insideKsa` stay empty when Etimad leaves them out of its awarded list, which it usually does; `regions` and `regionsEnglish` are filled when you filter by region.

Dates and times are ISO 8601 with the Riyadh offset (`+03:00`). Texts are in Arabic as published; procurement types, statuses and regions also have English names. Only organisation names are collected — Etimad publishes no officials' contact data on these pages.

```

### Limits and caveats

- **Etimad publishes no award dates.** A row's `publishedAt` is the tender's publication date, not the award date. In daily-feed mode the first run that delivers an award is the closest "announced recently" signal.
- The awarded list is sorted by tender publication date. Direct purchases are awarded within days, so they appear immediately; a public tender is awarded weeks after publication, and a fixed publication window finds its award only once the window covers both dates. Widen `publishedWithinDays` (or use `publishedFrom`) for slower procedures. The full awarded history reaches back over 240,000 tenders; without a window, a run stops at its own result cap.
- Etimad answers a limited number of searches per minute, so a run delivers roughly 300–600 award rows per minute. Large windows with big `maxResults` take longer; raise the run timeout for deep searches.
- Supplier names are organisation names as Etimad publishes them; Etimad publishes no supplier IDs, so join suppliers by name.
- `tenderIdString` may contain spaces and punctuation; the `url` field already encodes it correctly.

### FAQ

**How fresh is the data?** Every run reads Etimad live.

**How do I get only new awards each day?** Turn on `onlyNewSinceLastRun` and keep one `stateKey` per alert. The first run returns everything that matches (and says `firstRun` in the run output); every later run returns only new awards, or ones whose supplier, values or award type changed.

**Can I get awards for one supplier?** Etimad's public search filters tenders, not suppliers. Run your agencies or keywords and filter the results by `supplier`.

**Why does one tender return several rows?** Split awards (ترسية جزئية) name more than one winner; each winner is one row with its own `awardedValue`, and `awardedValueTotal` is the same on all of them.

**What happens when nothing matches?** A genuine zero-result search succeeds with an empty dataset. Tenders that appear in the awarded list but publish no award results yet are skipped without a charge; the run summary counts them under `noAwardResults`.

**What do the run counts mean?** The run summary's `items` is the number of award rows saved to the dataset, which is exactly the number of results you pay for. If the run reaches a spending limit you set, it stops cleanly and keeps the rows already saved.

### Price

You pay per result: each delivered award row is one result, plus a small run-start charge. The run-start event is charged per GB of memory; the default 512 MB run is one start event. The start is charged even if the run saves no results. Platform usage is included in the price.

# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Text searched in the tender name, number and reference, as on the Etimad search box, e.g. 'صيانة' (maintenance) or 'تقنية'. Most tenders are written in Arabic. 2 to 50 characters.

## `referenceNumber` (type: `string`):

One tender's Etimad reference number, e.g. '261039009384'. Returns its award results only.

## `agency` (type: `string`):

Government agency: its 12-digit Etimad agency code, its exact name, or a name fragment matching at most 5 agencies, e.g. 'حرس الحدود' (Border Guard).

## `tenderType` (type: `string`):

Procurement method of the awarded tender.

## `regions` (type: `array`):

Regions where the work is carried out. Use English names (Riyadh, Makkah, Madinah, Qassim, Eastern Province, Asir, Tabuk, Hail, Northern Borders, Jazan, Najran, Al Bahah, Al Jawf), Arabic names or Etimad region ids 1-13.

## `publishedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Only awards of tenders published in the last N days, counting today in Riyadh time. Direct purchases are awarded within days; public tenders take weeks, so a wider window finds their awards too. Ignored when you set 'Published from' or 'Published to' and leave this at 30; any other value cannot be combined with 'Published from'.

## `publishedFrom` (type: `string`):

Earliest tender publication date, YYYY-MM-DD (inclusive).

## `publishedTo` (type: `string`):

Latest tender publication date, YYYY-MM-DD (inclusive).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum award rows to return (one row per winning supplier; a split award returns several rows). Left empty: 50, or a 10-row sample when no filter is set either.

## `includeBidders` (type: `boolean`):

Also return every supplier that submitted an offer, with its offer value and technical result, not only the winners.

## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`):

Daily-feed mode: remember what was already delivered and return only new awards, or ones whose supplier, value or award type changed. Use one stateKey per alert you run.

## `stateKey` (type: `string`):

Name of the remembered feed for 'Only new or changed awards'. Same key = same feed; leave empty to derive it from the input automatically.
