Saudi Etimad Tenders API – Government Tenders & Awards Feed

A daily feed of new Saudi government tenders as JSON, straight from the Etimad procurement portal. Every tender published on tenders.etimad.sa by a Saudi ministry, authority, municipality, hospital or university, with the agency, tender type, activity, region, submission deadline (Gregorian and Hijri), enquiry deadline, document fee, status and a link to the tender page. Filter by Arabic or English keyword, agency, activity, tender type, region and publication window; turn on includeDetails to add the purpose, contract duration, guarantee and insurance requirements, execution city and the published award results (bidders with their offers, the awarded supplier and the award value). No Etimad account, API key or proxy.

Why use this instead of the Etimad portal

• A feed, not a search form. The portal shows 24 tenders a page in Arabic and has no RSS, export or API for suppliers without an account. This Actor returns the newest tenders first as clean rows and remembers what it delivered, so a scheduled run gives you only new or changed tenders (onlyNew), never charged twice.
• Searchable in English. Tender type, status, region and the main activity groups come with English translations next to the Arabic originals (tenderTypeEn, statusEn, regionEn), and filters accept English names (regions: ["Riyadh"], activities: ["IT"], tenderTypes: ["public"]). Tender names, agencies and purposes stay exactly as the agency published them (Arabic, sometimes English).
• Award results with prices. With includeDetails, awarded tenders carry every bidder's financial offer and technical result, the awarded supplier and the award value: the data a competitor analysis needs.
• Both calendars. Deadlines come as Gregorian timestamps (submissionDeadline) and Hijri dates (submissionDeadlineHijri), plus daysRemaining.
• Built for schedules. Publication windows (2 days to 90 days), a run-deadline guard, a charge-limit guard and a clear status message; unchanged tenders in only-new mode are skipped and not charged.
• Business data only. Agencies, tenders and supplier companies as published on the public portal. No login, no personal data.

How to use it

1. Click Try for free. The default input returns the 50 most recently published tenders across all agencies (about $0.15).
2. Narrow it down: Keywords (Arabic or English, e.g. صيانة, تكييف, CCTV), Activities (e.g. contracting, IT, healthcare, or an Etimad sub-activity id such as 601), Tender types, Regions, Government agencies.
3. Pick a Published within window (2d for a daily feed, 30d or 90d for a backfill) and set Max items to 0 for everything that matches.
4. Turn on Include details when you need the purpose, contract duration, guarantees, execution city or the award results.
5. For a daily feed, schedule the run with Only new or changed on. The first run delivers the window, later runs only new tenders and changed ones (status, deadline).

How much does it cost to get Saudi tender data?

Pay per result: $3 per 1,000 tenders ($0.003 per tender; lower on higher Apify plans), and $7 per 1,000 detail pages when includeDetails is on, so a tender with details costs $0.01. No monthly fee. Tenders left out by filters, and unchanged tenders in only-new mode, are not charged. Typical jobs: a sample of 50 tenders $0.15; the last 2 days (about 180 tenders) $0.55; a 30-day backfill (about 2,800) $8.40; a daily all-market feed about $8 per month; the awards of the last 90 days with details (about 2,000) $20. The portal serves 24 tenders per request in about 3 seconds, so 1,000 tenders take about 2 minutes; details add about 1.5 seconds per tender.

Tips

• Daily feed: publishedWithin: "2d", onlyNew: true, maxItems: 0; schedule it every morning. Each new tender arrives once; a tender whose deadline or status changes arrives again as changeType: "updated".
• Awards feed: stage: "awarded", publishedWithin: "90d", includeDetails: true, onlyNew: true. Direct purchases are usually awarded within two to three weeks of publication; public tenders take longer, so the 90-day window catches most awards. Rows carry awardedSupplier, awardTotalSar, bidders and lowestOfferSar.
• Sector feeds: activities: ["contracting"] for construction, ["IT"] for technology, ["healthcare"], ["security"], ["consulting"], or Etimad sub-activity ids for a precise trade; tenderTypes: ["public", "framework"] leaves out small direct purchases.
• Agency watch: agencies: ["وزارة الصحة"] matches every agency whose Etimad name contains the text; when it matches many (the Ministry of Health has about 30 entities), rows are filtered by agency and branch name instead.
• Contract size: documentFee: "over50k" (or "20kTo40k"...) keeps the large tenders; the portal answers this filter slowly.
• The listing is paged newest first at 24 rows a request, so very wide pulls (publishedWithin: "any", maxItems: 0) run for a long time; use the windows or fromDate/toDate and raise the run timeout for backfills.

FAQ

Is there an Etimad API? Not a public one for suppliers: the Etimad portal offers no feed, export or API without an account, and its paid integration services are for government entities and their contracted suppliers. This Actor reads the public visitor listing and the public tender pages and returns them as JSON, CSV or Excel through the Apify API.

Which tenders are included? Everything the visitor listing shows: all tender types from all government agencies, from the newest publication backwards, including closed and awarded tenders (stage). Unified government procurement (UGRP) tenders appear in the listing but have no public detail page, so they come without detail fields.

Are the texts translated? Coded fields are: tender type, status, region and main activity carry English translations next to the Arabic originals. Tender names, agencies, purposes and supplier names are kept exactly as published, in Arabic or English, so they match the portal and other records.

Why does a daily feed deliver a tender twice? With onlyNew a tender is delivered again, labelled updated, when its status, submission deadline, enquiry deadline, opening date or name changed since the last delivery, for example when the deadline is extended or the award is approved.

Is it legal? The data is published by the Saudi government on a public portal for the public and suppliers, and contains tender and business records only. You are responsible for how you use it.
