French Public Procurement Contracts (DECP)

What it does

French Public Procurement Contracts searches France's DECP open data (Données Essentielles de la Commande Publique) — the official register of public tenders and awarded contracts. Search by buyer, supplier, keyword, city or CPV code and get, for each marché public: the contract object, the amount in euros, the buyer (name + SIRET), the awarded supplier (name + SIRET), the procedure, nature, CPV classification, place of execution and the notification and publication dates. No API key, no scraping. This actor is free — you only pay for your own Apify platform usage.

Input

Field	Type	Description
queries	array of strings	One full-text search per entry: buyer, supplier, keyword, city or CPV code.
maxResults	integer	Max contract records across all searches (default 200).

{
  "queries": ["informatique", "Nantes"],
  "maxResults": 40
}

  "source": "PES Marchés"
}

Searches with no hits return {"status": "not_found"}; errors return {"status": "error"} with a message — the actor never crashes on a bad entry.

Use cases

• Lead generation: find public buyers and the suppliers who win their contracts.
• Market intelligence: track amounts, CPV categories and procedures over time.
• Competitor watch: see which companies win tenders in your sector or region.
• Enrich a CRM with public-sector spending signals by SIRET.

Limitations & fair use

• Data is the official DECP (essential data only); coverage depends on buyers' publication.
• Full-text relevance follows the source's own indexing; refine terms for precision.
• The actor paginates politely and caps at 10,000 hits per search term.
