Public tenders
Public tenders brings in new public tenders (RFPs, invitations to bid, requests for expressions of interest) from official sources: the EU’s TED for every EU and EEA country, the UK’s Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, the US SAM.gov, CanadaBuys, and World Bank-funded projects in developing countries. Pick countries and say what the tenders are about; each comes with its buyer, deadline, value when given and a link, and the step says exactly which source covered which country.

About
TextA tender is kept when its title, summary, category or buyer has any of the words. For the EU the words are searched in every language TED holds.
Comma-separated words; a tender with any of them in its title, summary or category is kept. Empty keeps every tender.
CPV or NAICS codes
TextCPV codes for European and UK tenders, NAICS for the US, UNSPSC for Canada; a code matches every code that starts with it (45 is all construction work).
Tenders whose code starts with one of these. World Bank notices have no codes: they are kept by the words above.

Good to know
- 2 credits for each tender kept, and 1 for each tender xMap AI reads when you describe what to keep.
- The step names each source and the countries it searched, and any country no free source covers.
- SAM.gov needs xMap’s key for US tenders; until it is set, the US part is example tenders and the step and every email say so.
- The Asian and African Development Banks and UNDP do not let robots read their notices, and Australia’s AusTender publishes awarded contracts only; a worldwide tender service covers them once switched on.
- Values and currencies are as the notice gives them; many notices give none.
- Put Only new after it so each tender comes once: it knows a tender by its id at the source.
- Always read the full notice before you bid: the summary is short and deadlines can be changed.
