🇮🇳 India Government Tenders — GeM & CPPP eProcurement Scraper

Live central and state government tenders from India's CPPP eProcurement portal (eprocure.gov.in) — the government-run aggregator that carries the same central/state tenders as the departmental portals and a dedicated GeM (Government e-Marketplace) bids slice. Every row comes back as a clean tender record with a decoded tender id, the organisation, published / closing / opening dates, corrigendum status, and a working detail URL. Built for contractors, bid-management teams, GovTech products, and AI agents that need structured Indian public-procurement data without driving a JavaScript portal.

Public procurement data, provided as-is for information purposes. Not affiliated with GeM, CPPP, NIC, or any government body.

📊 What you get

One record per tender (source chooses the slice):

• tender_id — decoded numeric tender id (base64-decoded from the detail path; a stable GeM hash on the GeM slice)
• tender_ref_no — the tender reference / GeM bid number
• title — tender title / product category
• organisation — issuing organisation (e.g. "Central Public Works Department (CPWD)")
• published_date — e-published / bid-start date
• closing_date — bid submission closing / bid-end date
• opening_date — tender opening date (central/state slice)
• corrigendum — corrigendum indicator
• department — department name (GeM slice)
• detail_url — absolute link to the full tender page on eprocure.gov.in
• tender_value — tender value (null in this fast listing path; on the detail page)
• source, scraped_at

Source slices

source	Slice	Feed
all (default)	All active central + state tenders	/cppp/latestactivetendersnew
gem	GeM-branded bids	/cppp/gemtender

💵 Pricing

Pay-per-result, no subscription:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.01
Tender record	$0.05 each
Watch-check (per scheduled watch run)	$0.05

About 20 tenders per $1.

Worked example: a pull of 50 active tenders = 1 start ($0.01) + 50 records ($2.50) = $2.51. A daily watch run that finds 4 new tenders = $0.05 watch-check + 4 × $0.05 = $0.25.

⏰ Watch mode — new-tender alerts

Turn on watchMode and put the actor on a schedule. The first run seeds a baseline and emits nothing; every later run emits only new tenders since the last run (keyed on tender_id). Perfect for a standing "new CPWD / GeM tenders in my category" feed into Slack, a sheet, or an agent.

{ "source": "all", "keyword": "road", "watchMode": true, "watchLabel": "highway-tenders" }

🤖 Use with AI agents

Returns clean JSON, so an agent can call it directly. Example task: "Pull today's active CPWD tenders closing this month and summarize the ones over ₹1 crore." Works with MCP tool-calling and agentic (x402) payment flows — no API key required.

❓ FAQ

Where does the data come from? India's CPPP eProcurement portal (eprocure.gov.in), run by NIC — the central aggregator of government tenders, which includes a GeM-bids slice. To be clear: this is sourced from CPPP eProcurement (which carries GeM bids), not scraped from GeM's own portal (gem.gov.in) directly.

Why CPPP instead of GeM directly? GeM's own portal is browser/CSRF-gated and resets connections from datacenters. CPPP serves the same tenders as server-rendered HTML that is reachable reliably, so you get stable structured data.

How fresh is it? Real-time — tenders appear as CPPP publishes them; published_date is on every record.

Does a blocked source bill me? No. If CPPP is unreachable the run fails loud and charges nothing — you never pay for an empty "success". Reaching the end of the tender list is a clean empty result, not a failure.

Can I filter? Use the keyword filter (matched against title + organisation) and the source slice; maxResults caps the pull.
