## Automate SEACE with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### New convocatorias for your line of business

Starts: Every weekday at 7:30, Lima time

1. Search selection procedures in Registro de participantes en curso for your Objeto de la Contratación and departamentos.
2. Keep the procedures that were not there on the last run.
3. Email you the list with entity, Nro. de Selección and description.

### Cronograma check for the procedures you are in

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00, Lima time

1. Check Mis procedimientos de selección for this year's procedures with an etapa Pendiente.
2. For each one, read the Ficha de Selección and its cronograma.
3. Keep the etapas that end in the next three days.
4. Post each one, with entity, Nro. de Selección, etapa and end date, to your webhook.

### New documents published in your procedures

Starts: Every day at 18:00, Lima time

1. For each procedure in Mis procedimientos de selección, read the documents under Ver documentos por Etapa.
2. Keep the documents that were not there on the last run.
3. Email you the new documents, grouped by procedure.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Search selection procedures” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "prod1.seace.gob.pe/search_selection_procedures",
    "input": {
      "objeto_de_la_contratacion": "Bien",
      "departamento": "LIMA",
      "estado": "Registro de participantes en curso"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "procedures": [
      {
        "entity": "Municipalidad Distrital de Acme",
        "nro_de_seleccion": "SIE-SIE-14-2026-MDA-1",
        "tipo_de_seleccion": "Subasta Inversa Electrónica",
        "objeto_de_la_contratacion": "Bien",
        "descripcion_del_objeto": "Adquisición de tóner y suministros de impresión",
        "estado": "Registro de participantes en curso"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## SEACE’s own options

OECE publishes Peru's public procurement data on its Portal de Contrataciones Abiertas under the OCDS standard, with downloads and an API for releases, records and bulk files. The public buscador lists procedures without a user, and Buscar Procedimientos exports its results to Excel. Registering participation, consultas and offers are documented as steps in the SEACE web portal.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OCDS API (Portal de Contrataciones Abiertas) | Public data from every stage of procurement: release, record and bulk-file endpoints, plus downloads in several formats. | Data-processing knowledge: OECE describes it for advanced users. |
| Buscador público de procedimientos | Procedimientos de selección, anuncios de contratación futura, difusión de requerimientos and órdenes de compra y servicio. | Public, no user needed. |
| SEACE by hand | Buscar Procedimientos with Excel download, Fichas de Selección, Mis procedimientos de selección, Registrar Participación, consultas and offers. | A supplier with a current RNP registration: RUC as user, Clave RNP and an emailed verification code. |

## Signing in to SEACE

Suppliers sign in to SEACE with their RUC (or código de extranjero) as Usuario and their Clave RNP. SEACE then emails a verification code, valid for 2 minutes, to the address registered in the RNP. With Fous you sign in once through SEACE's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, the emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

## Worth knowing

- **The sign-in code lasts two minutes**: Every sign-in sends a code, under the subject Doble factor de autenticación, to the email registered in the RNP. The code is valid for 2 minutes, so keep that address current in the RNP.
- **Registration checks your RNP status**: Inscribir works only with a current RNP registration matching the object of the convocatoria. Otherwise SEACE shows a reason such as Proveedor no vigente or Proveedor suspendido, and the button stays until the etapa ends.
- **Searches need at least one criterion**: Buscar Procedimientos requires at least one search criterion. For the Estados Publicado and Suspendido por elevación, Fecha de Inicio and Fecha de Fin are required.
- **Everything follows the cronograma**: Consultas, offers and mejora de precios are registered from the listado de actividades, within the dates of each procedure's cronograma. The list of registered participants opens one day after offers are presented.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does SEACE have an API?

Yes, for public data: OECE offers an OCDS API on its Portal de Contrataciones Abiertas, with release, record and bulk-file endpoints. The supplier steps in SEACE, such as Registrar Participación, consultas and offers, are documented as steps in the web portal.

### How do I sign in to SEACE as a supplier?

Use your RUC, or código de extranjero, as Usuario and your Clave RNP, then type the verification code SEACE emails to the address registered in the RNP. The code is valid for 2 minutes.

### Can I export SEACE search results?

Yes. Buscar Procedimientos has an Archivo Excel action that downloads the list of procedures found. With Fous you can build a method that returns the same results as JSON and call it from a workflow on a schedule.

### Why was my registration as a participant refused?

SEACE checks your RNP registration when you press Inscribir. It refuses when the registration is not current or does not match the object, or the supplier is inhabilitado, suspendido or sancionado por multa. You can try again until the etapa ends.

### Is Fous affiliated with OECE?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own SEACE supplier account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of SEACE (OECE (Organismo Especializado para las Contrataciones Públicas Eficientes)).
