Licitações PNCP Monitor – Brazil Public Tenders (Only New Ones)

Monitor Brazilian public tenders (licitações) from the official PNCP API and get only the ones that are new since your last run. PNCP (Portal Nacional de Contratações Públicas, Lei 14.133/2021) is where federal, state and municipal agencies publish their procurement notices: pregão eletrônico, dispensa, concorrência, inexigibilidade, credenciamento and more. Filter by keywords, state (UF), municipality, modality and estimated value, schedule it, and pay only for new tenders.

🇧🇷 Monitor de licitações públicas do PNCP: receba só as licitações novas do seu nicho e região. Resumo em português ↓

• ✅ Official public government API: no scraping, no proxies, no login, no captchas.
• 🔔 "Only new" memory per monitor ID: run it daily and receive just the fresh tenders, never charged twice.
• 🔤 Accent- and case-insensitive keywords (licenca matches licença), plus exclude words.
• 📅 Two modes: tenders open for proposals (deadline within N days) or recently published (last N days).
• 🔗 Direct PNCP link (edital) for every tender, plus the agency's CNPJ, estimated value and proposal dates.
• 💰 $0.01 per new tender. Runs that find nothing new only pay Apify's tiny start fee.

Quick start (costs at most $0.05)

{
  "mode": "published",
  "publishedWithinDays": 1,
  "ufs": ["SC"],
  "onlyNew": false,
  "maxItems": 5
}

This returns up to 5 tenders published in Santa Catarina in the last day: at most 5 × $0.01 = $0.05. A similar test (state AC, 3 items) finished in about 6 seconds.

Who uses it

• Companies that sell to the government: a daily feed of new tenders (editais) for their products and regions.
• Procurement consultants (assessoria em licitações): one monitor ID per client, each with its own memory.
• Market research: public spending by category, region and modality.
• Automations and AI agents: send new tenders to Slack, e-mail, Google Sheets or a CRM through Apify integrations or webhooks.

valorEstimado = 0 usually means the budget is confidential (orçamento sigiloso) or was not informed. srp: true marks a price registration (registro de preços). Tip: the orgaoCnpj can be enriched with our CNPJ Lookup Actor.

Speed and freshness

• Freshness: every run queries the live PNCP API, so a tender shows up as soon as the agency publishes it on PNCP. Each item has fetchedAt and dataPublicacaoPncp.
• Speed: typical runs finish in under 40 s (measured on Apify, 512 MB, October 2026): open software tenders in Santa Catarina in 9 s, school-meal tenders in SC (3 matches) in 20 s, tenders published in SC and PR over the last 7 days in 9 s, and a nationwide search for drone tenders in 35 s. PNCP has no keyword search, so the Actor lists the tenders and filters them itself. Most of the time is spent waiting for the PNCP API, so times vary with its load.

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Price
New tender delivered	$0.01 each ($10 per 1,000)
Actor start (Apify standard)	$0.00005 per GB of memory ($0.00005 at 512 MB)

• With Only new on (the default), a tender is charged once per monitor ID and never again on later runs.
• A daily run that finds nothing new costs only the start fee.
• No proxy or compute charges on top. Cap your spend with maxItems or Maximum cost per run.

Tips

• Schedule it daily (Apify Schedules) with the same monitorId, and add a Slack, e-mail, Google Sheets or webhook integration.
• Use several monitor IDs for different clients or niches. Each keeps its own "already delivered" memory.
• Add excludeKeywords to drop common false positives.

Data source and disclaimer

Data comes from the public PNCP consultation API (https://pncp.gov.br/api/consulta), maintained by the Brazilian federal government. This Actor is not affiliated with the government. Always confirm deadlines, documents and conditions on the official tender page (edital) before bidding.
