Brazil Public Tenders Monitor - PNCP 🇧🇷📋

Monitor de licitações do PNCP com alerta de novos editais | Brazilian government tender monitoring

Track every Brazilian government tender (licitação) published on PNCP - the official National Public Procurement Portal - filtered by your keywords, state and value range. Built for scheduled monitoring: it remembers what it already reported and returns only what is new.

Monitore licitações públicas brasileiras por palavra-chave, estado e faixa de valor. Feito para rodar agendado: guarda o que já avisou e retorna só o que é novo.

Why this actor / Por que usar

Brazilian tender monitoring services charge monthly subscriptions to do exactly this. This actor gives you the same alert pipeline, as an API you control:

• 🔔 New-only alerts - deduplicates across runs, so a daily schedule returns only fresh tenders (no repeated noise)
• 🔍 Accent-insensitive keyword matching - licenca matches LICENÇA, Licença, licença
• 🚫 Exclude terms - cut the noise you never want to see (merenda, combustível...)
• 📍 Region filters - state (UF), city (IBGE code) or a specific government body by CNPJ
• 💰 Value range - only tenders inside your ticket size
• 🔗 Webhook ready - connect Apify webhooks to Slack, n8n, Make, Zapier or your own endpoint and turn it into a real alert system

How to set up monitoring / Como montar o monitoramento

1. Run once with daysBack: 30 to backfill and see the volume you get
2. Tune keywords / excludeKeywords until the results are all relevant
3. Schedule the actor daily with daysBack: 1 and onlyNew: true
4. Add a webhook on "Run succeeded" pointing to Slack/n8n/your API

From then on you get a clean feed of new tenders matching your business, every day, automatically.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? The official PNCP consultation API (pncp.gov.br/api/consulta), maintained by the Brazilian federal government under Law 14.133/2021. No scraping, no CAPTCHAs.

How fast do new tenders appear? As soon as the government body publishes on PNCP. A daily run catches everything from the previous day; run it more often for near real-time alerts.

Does the dedup memory persist between runs? Yes - it is stored in the actor's key-value store, keyed per actor run configuration. It keeps the last 60,000 tender IDs.

Can I get the edital PDF? The output includes linkPNCP and linkSistemaOrigem, where the documents live. Attachment download can be added - open an issue if you need it.

How many results should I expect? For reference: Brazil publishes roughly 3,000+ Pregão Eletrônico and 5,000+ Dispensa tenders per day nationwide. Keywords are essential.
