UVO Slovakia Scraper — Public Procurement Tenders

Scrape Slovak public procurement tenders from the Office for Public Procurement (Úrad pre verejné obstarávanie, uvo.gov.sk) — the national platform every Slovak public authority uses to publish tenders. Extract tender titles, contracting authorities, CPV/NUTS codes, contract type, procedure type, EU funding status, and the full timeline of a procurement case. No login or cookies required — all data is publicly available on uvo.gov.sk.

Who this is for

• Contractors and consultants tracking construction, IT, and services tenders across Slovak municipalities and state bodies
• Lead-generation teams building prospect lists of active Slovak public buyers
• Market researchers tracking public spending by sector, region, or authority
• Procurement compliance and EU-funding trackers who need CPV/NUTS-coded tender data

How to scrape UVO Slovakia data

1. Go to this actor's page on the Apify Store.
2. Click "Start" to open the input configuration.
3. Enter a Slovak-language search keyword (e.g. cesta, rekonštrukcia, informačný systém) or leave it as the default to get recent procurements.
4. Optionally filter by contracting authority name or CPV code.
5. Set the maximum number of results.
6. Click "Start" and wait for the run to finish.
7. Download your data in JSON, CSV, XML, or Excel format.

What data source this uses

The scraper queries uvo.gov.sk/vyhladavanie/vyhladavanie-zakaziek — the official public search for procurement cases (zákazky) run by the Slovak Office for Public Procurement. Each result links to a detail page that carries the case's administrative record: authority, status, dates, and — once the authority has published a formal notice against it — CPV/NUTS classification, contract type, and procedure type.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	"cesta"	Free text keyword matched against tender titles (Slovak language)
authorityName	string	—	Filter by contracting authority name, e.g. "Mesto Bratislava"
cpvCode	string	—	Filter by CPV code, e.g. "45000000-7" for construction works
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of procurement notices to return (1–1000)
fetchDetails	boolean	true	Enrich each result with its detail page (status, CPV/NUTS codes, contract type, procedure type, EU funding, dates). Roughly doubles the number of requests. Turn off for a faster listing-only run.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify automatic proxy	Proxy settings — uvo.gov.sk has no bot-wall, so the free automatic pool works fine

Data quality note: why some fields are empty

cpvCodes, nutsCodes, contractType, and procedureType are only populated once the contracting authority has published a formal notice against the procurement case. A case that is still in the tendering/EVO phase legitimately has no CPV/NUTS classification yet on UVO's own site — this is a source-data characteristic, not a scraping gap. Across a 30-item verification run, the core identifying fields (title, buyer, status, createdDate, updatedDate, url) were populated on 100% of items; the notice-dependent fields (cpvCodes, contractType) were populated on ~73%, and procedureType on ~50%. All of these fields are nullable — treat null as "not yet published", never as zero or false.

Cost estimate

This actor is priced per result on the Apify Store (Pay-Per-Event). With fetchDetails on, a run fetches one listing page plus one detail page per result — both plain HTTP requests against a low-traffic government site, so runs are fast (roughly 2 seconds per result). A 100-result run typically completes in under 4 minutes.

Limitations

• Search matches tender titles only (Slovak language); it does not do full-text search across tender documents.
• authorityName and cpvCode filters use UVO's own exact-match/contains behavior — there is no fuzzy matching layer on top.
• A run's usage cost only settles once the run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run will under-report the eventual cost.
• This actor covers procurement cases published on uvo.gov.sk. It does not cover EU-wide TED notices (see our TED EU Procurement Scraper) or Slovak sector-specific procurement outside UVO's own platform.
