UK Public Tenders Finder: Find a Tender and Contracts Finder in One Search

Search UK government tenders and contract awards from both official services, Find a Tender (higher-value contracts across the UK) and Contracts Finder (lower-value contracts in England), with one set of filters and one clean format.

What it does

• Searches both services' official open data (OCDS) feeds, no login needed.
• Filters by keyword, CPV code, buyer, contract value, publish date and deadline still open.
• Returns open tenders, contract awards (with winning suppliers and values) or early engagement notices.
• Removes duplicate notices and returns tidy fields: title, buyer, buyer region and contact, value, deadline, contract dates, CPV codes, SME suitability and a link to the notice.

Who it's for

• Suppliers and SMEs looking for public sector work to bid on.
• Bid writers and consultancies monitoring opportunities for several clients.
• Market researchers analysing who buys what and who wins.
• Run it on a schedule in Apify for a daily or weekly tender alert.

Pricing

Filters run on our side, so you pay a small fee for each page of 100 notices read and the notice fee only for matches.

Event	When it is charged	Price per 1,000 (Free / Bronze / Silver / Gold plan)
Results page scanned	Each request for a page of up to 100 notices from Find a Tender or Contracts Finder, once per started 3 MB, whether or not any notice matches.	$5 on every plan
Notice scraped	Each tender or award notice returned in the dataset.	$3 / $2.70 / $2.50 / $2.20

Example: a search that reads 20 pages (up to 2,000 notices) and finds 50 matches costs 20 × $0.005 + 50 × $0.003 = $0.25 on the Free plan. Narrow date ranges keep the page count down.

Notes and limits

• Data comes from the official services and is as complete as the buyers' own notices; some notices have no stated value.
• Contracts Finder limits request rates. If it refuses requests, the run reports it and returns what it has.
• Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also publish lower-value contracts on their own portals, which are not included.
