UK AI & Data Procurement Monitor

Monitor official UK Find a Tender notices for new or updated AI, data, analytics, and software procurement opportunities.

This Actor reads the official Find a Tender open-contracting feed. It does not scrape pages, bypass logins, or process personal data.

What You Get

Each run writes matching procurement opportunities to the default dataset. Results include:

• Notice title
• Buyer
• Description
• Estimated value, when published
• Deadline
• UK region or delivery location, when available
• Matched keywords

• Official Find a Tender notice link

The first successful run checks the previous 30 days. Later runs report new or updated still-open opportunities. A notice must have an active tender status and a future deadline to be included.
