It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. 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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. 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`). # README Extract Find a Tender procurement notices for tender discovery, buyer research and procurement monitoring. **Find a Tender Scraper** collects public information into one complete dataset table, ready to export as Excel, CSV or JSON. Use search filters or individual public record links, set how many results you need and start the Actor. Search finds matching records; Details retrieves the available information for records you already know. | At a glance | Details | |---|---| | πŸ“₯ Input | Search filters or individual public record links | | πŸ“‹ Collection modes | Search tender records; Get tender details | | πŸ“€ Output | One row per record, or a failed row for an unsuccessful input | | πŸ“„ Pagination | Automatic, up to `maxResults` while more records are available | | πŸ” Website login | Not required | | πŸ’Ύ Export | One dataset view with all fields; Excel, CSV and JSON | ### What the Find a Tender scraper collects πŸ“‹ | Mode | What you receive | |---|---| | **Search tender records** | Matching procurement notices and the fields published in the search results. | | **Get tender details** | Available public information for each supplied record. The full output example below shows its actual fields. | The field table and complete examples below show the information this Actor returns. Optional values depend on what the source publishes for the selected record. Coverage for this Actor: - Search UK procurement notices by keywords, including opportunities, awards and other notice stages. - Values retain their original currency and VAT wording; notice descriptions can include multiple contracts or lots. ### How to scrape Find a Tender πŸš€ 1. Choose **Search tender records** or **Get tender details**. 2. Complete the search filters or individual public record links. 3. Set **Maximum results**. The minimum is 1. 4. Start the Actor and review the saved dataset. 5. Export the results or connect them to your workflow. #### Search tender records β€” input example ```json { "mode": "search", "keyword": "", "maxResults": 10 } ``` #### Get tender details β€” input example ```json { "mode": "details", "recordUrls": [ "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/091973-2026" ], "maxResults": 1 } ``` `maxResults` limits all saved rows for each search or supplied record, including a failed row. It does not guarantee that the source has that many matching records. A detail lookup normally returns one record, although sources with multiple revisions or establishments can return more. ### Find a Tender data fields and complete output πŸ“¦ Each result stays in one row. Every returned field appears in the same dataset view, including list fields and additional published facts. Fields unavailable for a particular record remain empty. | Field | Included data | |---|---| | `result_type` | Selected collection mode. | | `input` | Submitted search settings, record link or record number. | | `status` | Collection outcome. | | `error_code` | Failure category for an unsuccessful input. | | `error_message` | Readable explanation for an unsuccessful input. | | `record_id` | Stable public notice or tender-lot identifier. | | `url` | Public source notice link. | | `title` | Published notice title. | | `buyer` | Contracting authority or procuring organisation. | | `description` | Public description or summary of the notice. | | `record_data.name` | Record data / name, when published. | | `record_data.value` | Record data / value, when published. | | `notice_type` | Published notice type or procurement stage. | | `published_at` | Source publication date and time. | | `value_text` | Original monetary wording, including units or VAT where stated. | | `location` | Place of performance or published region. | | `supplier` | Supplier named in a contract award. | | `additional_fields.name` | Names of additional published fields, when present. | | `additional_fields.value` | Their corresponding values in the same order. | | `reference` | Published reference number. | | `notice_text` | Full public notice content in readable text. | | `documents_and_links.title` | Documents and links / title, when published. | | `documents_and_links.url` | Documents and links / url, when published. | | `email_addresses` | Public procurement contact email addresses. | The complete result below is included for every mode.

Minimum: 1. | | **Procurement keywords** (`keyword`) | Words in the procurement title or notice. Leave blank to browse current results. | | **Tender links** (`recordUrls`) | Paste one individual public record link per line. Use this field in Details mode. | ### Find a Tender scraping use cases 🎯 #### Build a tender or contract shortlist Search the supported procurement collection and export matching records. Keep deadlines, buyer names and original references together when reviewing opportunities. #### Research public buyers Compare available buyer, supplier and contract information across records. Preserve the published currency and value type when working with amounts. #### Monitor published procurement records Schedule repeated exports and compare stable record IDs to identify newly published notices and changes. A search result is not confirmation that bidding remains open. ### Pricing and saved-result behavior πŸ’° See the Actor’s **Pricing** tab for the current rate. Under dataset-item pricing: - Each saved record is one result. Lists and additional details attached to it do not create extra rows. - A saved `failed` row is also one billable dataset item. This includes invalid inputs, unavailable records, empty searches and exhausted retries. - At most one failed row is saved per input. Retry attempts do not create additional dataset rows. - `maxResults` caps all saved rows for the input. Duplicate copies of the same input are processed once. ### Find a Tender scraper API and integrations πŸ”Œ Replace `$ACTOR_ID` with the ID shown in the Actor’s API tab and `$APIFY_TOKEN` with your Apify token. ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"mode":"search","keyword":"","maxResults":10}' ``` Use Apify schedules for recurring collection, webhooks for completion notifications, and integrations for Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, cloud storage or your own application. ### Reliability and public-data limits ⚠️ Temporary request failures are retried up to five total attempts. Invalid record inputs save a failed row without a website request. Confirmed missing records are not retried unnecessarily. If a later request fails, records already saved remain in the dataset. Normal pagination completion does not add a failed row. Collection stops after two consecutive pages return no new records. Configuration, data-saving or request-scheduling failures stop the run. Find a Tender controls the available records and fields. Search records can contain less information than a full public card. The Actor preserves published values and does not fill missing facts with estimates. ### Frequently asked questions ❓ #### Do I need a Find a Tender account? No. This Actor collects the supported public information without your website login. #### Which search filters can I use? The input form supports procurement keywords. Only the displayed filters are supported. #### How many records can I collect? Set `maxResults` to the maximum saved rows you want for each input. The minimum is 1. Collection can finish earlier when the source runs out of results or stops returning new records. #### Why are some fields empty? The source may not publish a value for that record or mode. Optional information remains empty. #### Can I export all the fields? Yes. All returned fields are included in one dataset view. Nested lists remain attached to their parent record. ### Support πŸ›Ÿ For a reproducible issue, share the run ID, selected mode and a safe public example through the Actor’s support channel. Keep tokens, passwords and proxy credentials private. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Choose the information you need. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Collect up to this many saved results for each search or record link.
