Romanian Public Procurement Scraper — e-licitatie.ro (SEAP/SICAP) Tenders

Search and extract Romanian public procurement tenders from e-licitatie.ro (SEAP/SICAP), the official national platform every Romanian public authority uses to publish contract notices. Filter by keyword, CPV code, contracting authority or publication date. Returns the buyer, estimated value, bid deadline, CPV classification and procedure type for every matching tender. No cookies, no login required.

How to scrape e-licitatie.ro data

This actor queries the official e-licitatie.ro (SEAP — Sistemul Electronic de Achiziții Publice, also known as SICAP) contract-notice API directly. SEAP is the single national platform Romanian public authorities are legally required to use for procurement: ministries, county and local councils, hospitals, universities, state-owned companies and utilities all publish here. That makes this actor a complete feed of Romanian public-sector buying activity across construction, IT, medical supplies and services.

The actor pushes a JSON request to SEAP's own contract-notice search endpoint, paginating through results and mapping each notice into a clean, consistent record. None of this requires an account — the api-pub/NoticeCommon/GetCNoticeList/ endpoint is open, unauthenticated JSON, confirmed live against the production site.

Who benefits from this data?

• Construction and engineering firms — Monitor new public works tenders by CPV code and estimated value, and track which authorities are actively buying.
• IT and software vendors — Find Romanian government IT procurement (CPV 72xxxxxx / 48xxxxxx) before the bid deadline closes.
• Medical and pharmaceutical suppliers — Track hospital and public-health tenders for equipment, medicines and consumables.
• Consultancies and advisory firms — Build market intelligence on which authorities are buying what, at what value, and under which procedure type.
• B2B sales and business development teams — Turn every open tender in your sector into a prospect list with a buyer name and contract value.
• Market researchers and journalists — Analyze public spending patterns, procedure types and award timelines across Romania.

Search by keyword

Enter any keyword to search tender titles server-side via the SEAP API itself (a real search, not a client-side filter). Use Romanian for the best results — SEAP publications are written in Romanian. Examples: "asfaltare" (asphalt works), "servicii de curatenie" (cleaning services), "echipamente medicale" (medical equipment).

Filter by CPV code and contracting authority

• CPV code: filter by the EU Common Procurement Vocabulary code or category name, e.g. 45000000 or "constructii" for construction work, 72000000 for IT services
• Contracting authority: filter by buyer name, e.g. "Municipiul Cluj-Napoca". The actor resolves the name to SEAP's internal authority ID automatically — use the exact registered name (e.g. "Municipiul X", not "Primaria X") for a reliable match, and check the run log for the resolved entity name to confirm it matched the right buyer.

Date range filtering

Set publication date filters to monitor new tenders on a schedule, or search historically for market research. publishedAfter and publishedBefore accept YYYY-MM-DD. Leaving both empty defaults to the last 30 days.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	String	—	Keywords to search in tender titles (server-side search)
cpvCode	String	—	CPV classification code or category name to filter by
contractingAuthority	String	—	Buyer/contracting authority name (resolved to SEAP's internal ID automatically)
publishedAfter	String	30 days ago	Only tenders published on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
publishedBefore	String	today	Only tenders published on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
maxResults	Integer	100	Maximum number of tenders to return (1–10,000)
proxyConfiguration	Object	Automatic	Apify proxy settings — e-licitatie.ro has no anti-bot, so the default is enough

Leaving every field empty ({}) still returns data: the actor defaults to the most recent 30 days of published tenders across all authorities and categories.

Cost estimate

This actor uses standard Apify proxy and does one lightweight JSON call per 500 tenders (plus one warm-up request per run), so a run of 1,000 tenders typically costs well under $0.50 in compute. Actual cost depends on your Apify plan and any proxy add-ons. The final usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking the dataset mid-run will undercount it.

Limitations

• SEAP caps any single query at 3,000 matching results — narrow the date range, CPV code or keyword to scrape beyond that in one run
• estimatedValue and deadline are null where the buyer didn't publish one (common for framework agreements and some simplified procedures) — this is not a scraper error
• Contracting-authority name matching picks the closest registered name; check the run log to confirm it resolved to the buyer you meant
• Data is scraped from the public SEAP API and may change without notice
• Respect e-licitatie.ro's terms of service and use responsibly
