Common use cases

• Track new public tender announcements in Egypt
• Monitor tenders matching specific products, services, or keywords
• Build internal bid-alert workflows
• Export procurement opportunities to spreadsheets or CRMs
• Analyze public-sector demand by category or buyer entity
• Feed tender records into dashboards or business intelligence tools

Tips for best results

• Start with epsGags only for the most reliable default run.
• Use keyword filters for targeted monitoring, especially when tracking a specific product or service line.
• Keep detail enrichment disabled for broad scans and enable it only for smaller, capped runs.
• Increase politeDelayMs for larger runs.
• Always open the official source URL before making bidding, legal, or commercial decisions.

Limitations

This Actor collects selected public pages visible without login. It does not access private supplier accounts, submit forms, bypass CAPTCHA, bypass access controls, scrape paywalled content, or provide legal or bid-qualification advice.

The Actor is not affiliated with any Egyptian government entity. Output completeness depends on what each public source exposes at run time. Users should verify deadlines, documents, eligibility requirements, and submission instructions on the official source before acting.

Changelog

• 0.2 Added normalized public tender output, keyword/category filtering, and optional EPS-GAGS public detail enrichment.
