🇮🇳 India Government Tenders — CPPP eProcurement Scraper

Live active tenders from India's CPPP eProcurement system (eprocure.gov.in), the central government's e-procurement portal run by NIC. Every central-government organisation that publishes there — ministries, departments, PSUs, AIIMS, IITs, universities, defence and railway units — with each tender's ID, reference number, title, organisation, department and published / closing / opening dates. Newest first. No captcha, no login, no key.

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

What changed on Oct 28, 2026

eprocure.gov.in replaced the "latest active tenders" pages this actor used to read with a new app whose tender list is encrypted and behind a captcha. This actor now reads the portal's Tenders by Organisation listing, which is still open: on Oct 28 it listed 239 central organisations with 2,475 active tenders. Two things that went away with the old pages:

• State-portal tenders are not in this listing (central organisations only).
• The old gem slice is no longer published without a captcha; source: "gem" stops at once with a message and charges nothing.

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start	$0.01	When the run starts (per GB of memory, minimum one)
Tender record	$0.05	Each tender delivered to the dataset
Watch check	$0.05	Only when watchMode is on, once per run

Example: 25 tenders cost 25 × $0.05 = $1.25 plus the start fee. A run that finds nothing charges no tender records.

❓ FAQ

How fresh is the data?

Live: every run reads the portal at that moment. Tenders show from the day they are e-published until they close.

How long does a run take?

Usually under two minutes: the actor opens the organisation index and then every organisation's tender list, several at a time.

What if the portal is down?

The run fails with a message saying the source was unreachable, and no tender records are charged.

What happens if nothing matches my keyword?

The run succeeds with 0 rows, says how many tenders it scanned, and charges no tender records.

Does it include GeM bids or state tenders?

No. GeM's own portal and the CPPP GeM slice are captcha-gated, and state portals are not in the central listing.
