# London public sector IT contracts monitor

**Use case:** 

Track new IT services and software tenders (CPV 72 and 48) delivered in London, from councils, the GLA, NHS trusts, universities and central government. Monitor mode returns only notices you haven't seen yet, so it works as a scheduled alert. Each row has buyer, value, deadline, CPV codes and a link to the notice.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/scoutdesk/uk-public-tenders-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
