Description and use

Outcome

Workflow

• Identify the CPV codes relevant to the freelancer’s niche.
• Write a local script (e.g., Python) that scrapes tender portals for new listings.
• Filter the scraped data by the chosen CPV codes.
• Configure the script to send an email or push notification when a match is found.
• Schedule the script to run regularly (e.g., via cron).
