UNGM Tenders Monitor — UN Procurement Notices (UNICEF, UNDP, WFP...)

Monitor United Nations procurement opportunities from UNGM (the UN Global Marketplace) — tenders from UNICEF, UNDP, WFP, WHO, FAO, UNFPA and 30+ UN agencies — as clean, deduplicated, analysis-ready JSON.

Built for daily monitoring: schedule it once, and every run pushes only the notices that are new since the last run.

Why this Actor

• 🇺🇳 All UN agencies in one feed — EOIs, RFPs, RFQs, ITBs and consultant calls across the whole UN system, published daily on UNGM.
• 🔁 Monitor mode: previously seen notices are remembered across runs; you only pay for what's new.
• 🧹 Clean data contract: stable field names, deadlines converted to UTC ISO, deduplicated records, first_seen_at point-in-time timestamps.
• 🌐 Same schema family as our World Bank and Etimad (Saudi) tenders actors — combine feeds without remapping fields.
• 🤖 AI-agent friendly: consistent JSON that drops straight into LLM pipelines, CRMs, Sheets, or Slack alerts.

Use cases

• Suppliers & contractors selling to the UN system: never miss an opportunity in your sector or region.
• Development consultancies: track consultant calls and RFPs across agencies.
• Bid-intelligence teams: procurement activity by agency, country, and type.
• AI agents: use as a tool to answer "what new UN tenders match X?"
