Bandi Gara

What does Bandi di Gara Lombardia Scraper do?

Bandi di Gara Lombardia Scraper extracts public procurement notices (bandi di gara) published by public bodies in the Lombardy region of Italy, via the official Sintel e-procurement portal. For each notice it returns the CIG (tender identification code), the awarding authority, the object of the tender, its category, amount, procedure type, publication/deadline dates, status, a link to the notice, and — when available — the awarded company. Results are automatically de-duplicated across runs, cross-checked against Lombardy's official open-data portal, and delivered as a ready-to-use Apify Dataset you can export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or query over the API — no code required. Runs on the Apify platform benefit from scheduling, monitoring, and integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks) out of the box.

Why use Bandi di Gara Lombardia Scraper?

• Business development & sales intelligence — monitor new public tenders in your sector or geographic area to spot leads before competitors.
• Legal & compliance teams — track procedures involving specific public entities or CPV categories.
• Journalists & researchers — analyze public spending patterns, procedure types, and awarded companies over time.
• Procurement consultants — build a searchable, filterable archive of Lombardy tenders without manually browsing the Sintel portal.

How to use Bandi di Gara Lombardia Scraper

1. Click Try for free or Start on the Actor page.
2. In the Input tab, optionally set filters: a keyword, a date range, a minimum/maximum amount, or one or more CPV categories.
3. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
4. Open the Dataset tab (or the Output tab) to browse, filter, and export the results.
5. Schedule the Actor to run periodically to get only the new tenders on each run — already-seen tenders (tracked by CIG) are skipped automatically.

Using it from an AI agent (MCP)

This Actor exposes a plain JSON input/output contract, so it can be called directly as a tool by an MCP-connected agent (e.g. Claude) via the Apify MCP server. Pass any subset of the input fields below; omitted fields mean "no filter on this dimension". The Actor returns structured dataset items — no HTML or free text to parse.

Input

Field	Type	Description
regione	string (select)	Region to scrape. Currently only "Lombardia" is supported.
categoriaCPV	array of strings	CPV codes or category keywords to filter by (best-effort text match). Leave empty for no filter.
importoMinimo	number	Minimum tender amount in EUR.
importoMassimo	number	Maximum tender amount in EUR.
parolaChiave	string	Free-text search on the tender's object/title.
dataDa	date	Only include tenders published on or after this date.
dataA	date	Only include tenders published on or before this date.

See the Input tab for the interactive form, or call the Actor via the API with a JSON body matching the table above.

Data fields

Field	Description
CIG	Tender identification code (Codice Identificativo Gara), when assigned.
ente_appaltante	Name of the awarding public authority.
comune	Municipality, best-effort extracted from the authority name when it follows the "Comune di X" pattern; null otherwise (neither source publishes a structured municipality field).
provincia	Not published by either source; always null for now.
oggetto	Object/title of the tender.
categoria_cpv	Merchandise category (numeric CPV code when available from open-data enrichment, otherwise the free-text category label).
importo	Tender amount in EUR.
tipo_procedura	Procedure type (e.g. "Affidamento diretto", "Procedura Aperta").
data_pubblicazione	Publication date (ISO 8601).
data_scadenza	Bid submission deadline (ISO 8601).
stato	Procedure status (e.g. "Pubblicata", "Aggiudicata", "Chiusa").
url_bando	Link to the tender's detail page on Sintel.
aggiudicatario	Awarded company name, when available (open-data enrichment only — Sintel's own detail page never exposes it).
fonte	sintel_scraping (primary source) or open_data (secondary, only used for closed/awarded procedures).

Note: the tender's RUP (responsible officer, a named individual) is intentionally not extracted, as it is personal data.

Pricing / Cost estimation

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you are charged once per newly-discovered tender (identified by CIG) actually added to the dataset. Tenders already seen in a previous run are skipped and never charged again. There is no charge for empty runs or for re-running with the same date range once everything has already been collected.

Tips or advanced options

• Narrow dataDa/dataA to a recent window on scheduled runs to keep each run fast and cheap — the CIG-based deduplication already prevents duplicate charges, but a tight date range also reduces the number of Sintel pages fetched.
• categoriaCPV and the amount filters are applied after fetching each tender's detail page, since Sintel's own search form doesn't expose a documented server-side filter for either. A very specific parolaChiave narrows the Sintel search itself and is the fastest way to cut run time.
• Set the SOCRATA_APP_TOKEN environment variable (a free token from the Socrata developer portal) if you rely heavily on the open-data enrichment step and hit rate limits.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

This Actor only extracts data that is already public: procurement notices published by public bodies under Italian transparency law. It does not collect personal data beyond what public bodies themselves publish, and explicitly excludes the RUP (responsible officer) name. Always check the current Terms of Service of the source sites before large-scale or commercial use.

The secondary open-data source (dati.lombardia.it) has shown data-quality issues in past verification (stale records, missing award dates, masked CIGs on records with zero amounts) — this Actor never uses it as the sole source for open/active tenders, only to enrich or supplement Sintel-scraped and already-closed procedures.
