Global Government Tender & Contract Monitor

Unlock the multi-trillion-dollar public procurement market. This Actor continuously monitors, aggregates, and standardizes government tenders, RFPs, and contract notices from the USA and UK. It is built for businesses that need high-quality, actionable leads from the public sector.

Features

• Rich Procurement Metadata: Extracts 30+ data points per tender relative to standard feeds, including direct Buyer Contacts, NAICS/CPV Codes, and Award Details.
• Smart Relevance Scoring: Prioritizes results based on Keyword Weight (Title vs Body), Recency, Completeness, and Value.
• Deep Pagination: Capable of fetching thousands of historical or active records using official API cursors.
• Currency Normalization: Automatically converts all Contract Values (GBP, EUR) to USD for unified financial analysis.
• Broad Budget Filtering: Checks awardValue, budgetUsd, and estimates to ensure high-value opportunities aren't missed.
