Intel / Context Summary

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has approved a $4 million PPSF grant to Cambodia's Ministry of Public Works and Transport for urban infrastructure development in four towns, creating a structured procurement timeline with multiple REOI deadlines and a January 2026 contract award.

Catalyst: Why Now

The public business registry contains all legally registered construction firms, but finding those specifically located in the four target towns requires manual filtering. International bidders need this list but lack time to scrape and geocode hundreds of records.

Friction: The Bottleneck

  • Vulnerability: The public business registry contains all legally registered construction firms, but finding those specifically located in the four target towns requires manual filtering. International bidders need this list but lack time to scrape and geocode hundreds of records.
  • Resource capture: Targeted CSV directory of local construction firms
  • Required vectors: Vector: Web Scraping & Data Extraction

Wedge: Execution Protocol

Phase 1: Locate the Data Source: Identify the official online business registry of the Cambodian Ministry of Commerce. Determine if it has a searchable API, downloadable datasets, or requires page-by-page scraping. Test search functionality with Khmer keywords for 'construction', 'engineering', 'wastewater', and the four town names. → Phase 2: Extract and Filter the Data: Write a Python script using requests and BeautifulSoup to scrape all registered businesses in the 'construction' category. Filter results by address fields containing the four target town names. Extract: company name, registration number, address, contact phone (if available), and registration date. Export to CSV.
