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

## France Public Tenders (BOAMP) Monitor

Find **new French public procurement tenders** (appels d’offres, marchés publics) from the **BOAMP**, the official bulletin of public contracts. Filter by **keyword, department and market type**, see the **response deadline and days left**, and get **only new tenders on each run** to never miss an opportunity.

### Who is it for?

- **Small businesses & tradespeople** (cleaning, construction, painting, landscaping, IT, catering…) looking for public clients.
- **Bid managers & consultants** tracking opportunities for several clients.
- **Sales teams** building lists of public buyers and past winners (award notices).
- **Tender alert services & CRMs** that need a clean, structured feed.

### What data do you get?

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `title` | Subject of the contract |
| `buyer` | Public buyer (city, hospital, region, ministry…) |
| `departments`, `deliveryDepartments` | Where |
| `publishedAt`, `responseDeadline`, `daysLeft` | When to answer |
| `marketTypes` | Works, services or supplies |
| `procedure`, `valueBand` | Open procedure, MAPA, EU threshold… |
| `keywords` | Official descriptors (e.g. Nettoyage, Maçonnerie) |
| `awardee` | Winner, for award notices |
| `url` | Link to the full official notice |

### How to use

Example – open cleaning tenders in the Rhône (69) published in the last 7 days:

```json
{
  "keywords": ["nettoyage"],
  "departments": ["69"],
  "publishedLastDays": 7,
  "onlyOpen": true
}
```

#### Daily tender alerts

1. Set your keywords and departments, and turn on **Only new tenders since last run**.
2. Create a **Schedule** (e.g. every morning at 8:00).
3. Connect email, Slack or Google Sheets. You receive only new tenders.

Use a different **Monitor name** for each saved search.

### Pricing

You pay a small fee per tender returned. Daily monitoring of a niche usually costs a few cents per day.

### Data source & license

Data comes from the official **BOAMP** dataset published by the DILA (Direction de l’information légale et administrative) on [boamp-datadila.opendatasoft.com](https://boamp-datadila.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/boamp/), under the **Licence Ouverte v2.0 (Etalab)**, which allows commercial reuse with attribution. Every result includes a `source` field with this attribution.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
