UK Contracts Finder Scraper: Public Tenders & Awards

Search UK government tenders and contract awards from Contracts Finder, the UK government's official public contracts register. Filter by keyword, status (open, closed, awarded, withdrawn), notice type, region, contract value, publish date and SME suitability. Each row gives the buyer, title, description, value range, deadline, contract dates, CPV codes, region, awarded supplier and a link to the notice. Official public API, no login.

Who is it for?

• Suppliers and SMEs looking for UK public sector work to bid on.
• Bid writers and procurement consultants building daily lead lists for clients.
• Market analysts studying who buys what and who wins.
• Competitor trackers watching awards to rival suppliers.

2. Choose statuses (Open by default) and, optionally, notice types and regions like London or Scotland.
3. Set Published within (days), value limits and Max results.
4. Click Start, or schedule it daily to get new tenders every morning.

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event: a small fee per notice returned, plus a tiny per-run start fee, with no subscription and no separate platform usage costs. For example, 1,000 notices cost about $2. Searches with no matches are not charged. Set Max results or Maximum cost per run to cap your spending.

Use it through the API, integrations or AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets. AI agents can find and call it through the Apify MCP server. Output is clean JSON with the same fields on every run.

FAQ

Is it legal? Yes. Contracts Finder is published by the UK government for public use, and its data is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (attribution: "Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0"). The tool does not collect buyer contact names, emails or phone numbers.
