Partial The web frontend and search interface are simple to build, but aggregating, parsing, and continually normalizing public procurement data across 100+ national government portals is a major data engineering hurdle.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a distributed crawling pipeline (Scrapy/Playwright) to scrape or ingest APIs across dozens of sovereign e-procurement systems, each with distinct schemas and anti-bot measures. The hard part is building robust ETL pipelines with NLP translation and deduplication to standardize multilingual unstructured tender notices into Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) formats, indexed via Elasticsearch or Meilisearch.
