Trust & CompanyMEED Middle East Projects & Contracts News Dataset — Four Times a Day
MEED is the Middle East's leading projects and business intelligence title, and this file captures every article it publishes, four times a day — 14 columns covering headline, standfirst, article text, journalist, publication time, permalink, article ID and images.
Almost every story is a contract, tender or bid. In five days the sample covered $8.2bn of Adnoc Gas awards, the Jafurah fifth expansion, Kuwait's Dorra gas project, a $3.7bn Algerian refinery and Morocco's World Cup 2030 stadium packages.
The file already exists, because this pipeline runs four times a day whether you buy it or not. Most vendors start collecting after you order — which is why they quote a lead time. Here the most recent file is in your account within minutes of payment, with an API key issued at the same time.
What you get, in plain terms
Four things. Project intelligence for bid teams, suppliers and investors — who is bidding, who won, and what is next.
Awards, bids and tenders
Headlines name the client, the contractor and the value — “PowerChina wins $1.32bn deal for Iraq water project” — so the pipeline can be tracked story by story.
Specialist reporters by sector
Seven journalists across 50 articles, each covering a beat — oil and gas, construction, power and water — named on every row.
Headline and standfirst
Media Title adds a one-sentence summary that differs from the headline on every sampled row — often with the key figure.
However you want it
Direct download, REST API, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Snowflake or SFTP. The API key comes with the dataset.
Fields included in this dataset
All 14 columns, in the exact order they appear in the file — taken straight from the sample, not from a brochure. The free sample ships with a data dictionary giving an example value for each one.
Sample rows from the real file
Real rows from the sample file, not an illustration. The supplied sample has 50 articles with all 14 columns.
Coverage
Captured four times a day across meed.com. One row is one article, identified by MEED's Article ID and permalink, with the publication time to the second.

We can extend this dataset beyond the standard 14 columns — extracted project fields such as client, contractor, value and country are the most requested addition.

Market intelligence teams
Build a structured project database from reporting that is otherwise read one article at a time.
About MEED news data
MEED has covered Middle East business for more than sixty years and is the reference title for the region's projects market. Its reporting follows projects from feasibility to tender, bid, award and construction across oil and gas, construction, power, water and transport.
Five days of MEED
Wison Engineering and its partner announcing awards on $8.2bn of Adnoc Gas projects; a frontrunner emerging for Jafurah's fifth expansion; Maaden and Aramco forming a joint venture; Kuwait awarding an oil contract to Baker Hughes; PowerChina winning a $1.32bn Iraq water deal; Oman prequalifying 24 contractors for Musandam resorts; Morocco tendering a $291m World Cup 2030 stadium package; and the PIF confirming a $17bn profit.
Why four times a day
Awards and bid deadlines are time-sensitive. A tender extension or a new prequalification list is worth most on the day it is reported — capturing every six hours keeps a bid team's tracker current.
Two things to plan for
MEED is a subscription title, and 9 of 50 sampled rows begin with a “Register for MEED's 14-day trial access” prompt ahead of the text; strip it before analysis. The file carries no keyword column, so filter by sector or country on the headline, or ask for tags on a custom feed.
Is collecting this data legal?
We collect only publicly accessible pages, respect robots.txt and platform terms, and align with GDPR and CCPA — the only personal data in the file is the public byline a publisher prints. Article text remains the publisher's copyright: the standard licence covers internal analysis such as monitoring, research and signal extraction, not republishing. Each row carries its permalink and publication time as documented provenance, so your legal team can review the source before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Message on 9 of 50 sampled rows. It is a fixed line and easy to strip; we can remove it on a custom feed.
