World Bank Procurement Notice Scraper

Find active World Bank procurement notices by keyword, country, notice type, category, and deadline. This Actor uses the public World Bank procurement notices API and returns clean tender records for bid teams, consultants, international development vendors, and market researchers.

What does this World Bank procurement scraper do?

World Bank notices are public, but vendors still have to search by country, category, keyword, and deadline. World Bank Procurement Notice Monitor turns those searches into a scheduled Apify dataset with normalized fields, source links, contact details when listed, urgency labels, and fit scores.

It requires no login and does not use a browser. Each dataset row is one public procurement notice from the World Bank API.

The Actor also writes key-value outputs for scheduled workflows:

• RUN_SUMMARY: counts, inputs, filters, and errors
• NOTICE_EXPORT: all emitted procurement notices
• BUYER_BRIEF: a short Markdown brief with highest-scoring notices
• SLACK_ALERTS: compact alert objects for webhook or chat workflows

What data can you extract?

Field	Description
title	Procurement notice title or bid description
country	Country associated with the project
projectName	World Bank project name
projectId	Project identifier
noticeType	Notice type, such as request for expression of interest
procurementMethod	Procurement method when provided
procurementCategory	Goods, works, consulting, or other category

Quick start

1. Enter keywords for the work you want to monitor.
2. Optionally filter by countries, notice types, or procurement categories.
3. Set daysBack and maxResults.
4. Run a small sample first, then schedule daily or weekly monitoring.

For broad discovery, leave country and category filters empty. For bid-team workflows, use specific countries and categories to reduce noise.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Dry-run examples are not charged. Apify free-plan users get the first 25 procurement notice records without this Actor's custom event charge; after that, normal pay-per-event pricing and the user's run spending limit apply.

Event	Price	What counts
procurement-notice	$0.005	One World Bank procurement notice written to the dataset

That is $5 per 1,000 emitted notices, plus normal Apify platform usage. Use maxResults, country filters, and category filters to control cost.

Common use cases

• Monitor open tenders in specific countries.
• Find consulting opportunities by technical keyword.
• Track development-finance procurement in a sector.
• Send new notices into Slack, email, Google Sheets, Airtable, or a CRM.
• Build a weekly bid-review dataset for business-development teams.

Limits and compliance

The Actor uses the public World Bank procurement notices API. It does not require credentials, bypass access controls, or collect private user data.

Always verify deadlines, eligibility, attachments, and procurement instructions on the linked World Bank notice before acting.
