PNCP Scraper: Licitações Brasil (Brazil Public Tenders)

Brazilian public tenders from PNCP, the national procurement portal: open bids or new publications with buyer, value, modality, state and deadlines. $0.90 per 1,000 tenders.

Since Law 14.133/2021, federal, state and municipal buyers across Brazil must publish their tenders on the Portal Nacional de Contratações Públicas. That makes PNCP the single best source of public buying in Brazil, with thousands of new procedures every day.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the official PNCP consultation API (pncp.gov.br/api/consulta), public and without registration.

Is any personal data included? Buyers are public bodies. Contact e-mails and phone numbers in the free-text notes are removed. No data about individuals is collected.

How fresh is it? Live. Buyers publish to PNCP continuously.

Can I get only new records each day? Yes. Use the date window input and schedule the Actor; each run returns what is new in that window.
