Global Government Tender Monitor & Notion Pipeline

Unlock the multi-trillion-dollar public procurement market, ranked by the work your business actually wins. This Actor monitors government tenders, RFPs, and contract notices across the USA and UK, scores every one of them against your own capability profile, and delivers the qualified opportunities straight into your Notion pipeline. No keywords to re-type. No duplicate rows. No API keys to manage.

Most tender tools hand you a firehose and let you sort it out. This one already knows what you do, what codes you hold, and which agencies you've won with.

Features

• Your Business Profile Drives the Search: Keep your keywords, NAICS/CPV codes, and target agencies in a Notion database your team already maintains. The Actor reads it before every run. Change your strategy in Notion, not in a form.
• Past-Performance Scoring: A contract from an agency you've previously won work with ranks above an identical contract from a stranger. Nothing else on the Store can do this, because nothing else reads your win history.
• Delivered to Your Pipeline, Not a Dataset: Qualified contracts arrive as rows in your Notion pipeline, with buyer, deadline, contact, direct link, and a plain-English reason for the score. Ready to work, not ready to export.
• Never Sends You the Same Contract Twice: The Actor reads your pipeline before it writes to it. Schedule it daily and it only ever tells you what's new.
• No Credentials to Manage: One-click Notion authorization through Apify. No integration secrets, no tokens pasted into input fields. The Actor never sees your Notion credentials at all.
• Rich Procurement Metadata: 35+ data points per tender including direct Buyer Contacts, NAICS/CPV Codes, Set-Asides, and Award Details.
• Currency Normalization: All contract values converted to USD for unified filtering and analysis.

Usage

1. Create two Notion databases

Capability Profile: tells the Actor what you do:

Name	Type	Weight	Active
cloud migration	Keyword	3	✅
cyber security	Keyword	2	✅
541512	NAICS	2	✅
72000000	CPV	2	✅
Veterans Affairs	WonAgency		✅
Department of the Navy	WonAgency		✅
Home Office	ExcludeBuyer		✅

Columns: Name (Title), Type (Select), Weight (Number), Active (Checkbox).

Contract Pipeline: where qualified opportunities land:

Name (Title) · Source ID (Text) · Buyer (Text) · Score (Number) · Budget (USD) (Number) · Country (Text) · Deadline (Date) · Link (URL) · Contact (Email) · Why it scored (Text)

Use Text for Country, not Select. Notion select columns only accept options that already exist, and they do not learn new ones from an API write. A fresh Select column has no options at all, so every row would be rejected. Text accepts anything. If you prefer Select for the colour coding, create the options USA and UK by hand first.

2. Connect Notion

In Apify Console → Settings → MCP connectors → Add connector → enter https://mcp.notion.com/mcp → authorize and grant access to both databases. That's the only setup step.

3. Configure and run

• Notion connectors: Select your connector in both fields.
• Database IDs: The 32-character ID from each Notion URL.
• Minimum score to write back: Only contracts at or above this reach your pipeline. Default 65.
• Dry run: Score everything and log what would be written, without touching Notion. Recommended for your first run.
• Deadline Within (Days): Government frameworks often run years ahead, so 365 or more is usually right.
• Target Countries: USA, UK, or leave empty for both.
• SAM.gov API Key: (Optional) Free from sam.gov to unlock US federal data. Leave empty to run UK only.

What it looks like

Your capability profile in Notion. This is the only place you configure what to search for.

Qualified contracts delivered to your pipeline, scored and explained.

One-click Notion authorization. No API keys.

  "matchedVia": "naics=541512",

}

Note confidenceScore: 70 against confidenceScoreWithoutProfile: 55. That 15-point gap is the past-performance bonus. This contract ranks higher because the Actor read your win history.

Supported Regions

Region	Source	Status	Features
USA	SAM.gov (Official API)	✅ Active	Rich Data, NAICS, Set-Asides, Buyer Hierarchy
UK	Contracts Finder (OCDS)	✅ Active	Rich Data, CPV, Document Links
EU	TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)	🔧 In development	See note below

On EU coverage: v1 listed TED as "coming in v2.0". It isn't in this release, and it's fair to say why. TED migrated to a new API with a different schema, and mapping it into the unified output properly is a bigger job than the original estimate. EU procurement uses different notice types, award structures, and lot handling that don't map cleanly onto the existing US/UK schema. A half-working EU source would be worse than none, because you'd trust it. It remains the most-requested addition and it's the next thing being built.

Integrations

Beyond Notion, results can be pushed anywhere Apify integrates (Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, Zapier, Make) or pulled via the Apify API. Schedule the Actor daily and it maintains your pipeline on its own.
