while True:
    print('Hold on creating URL to fetch data...')
    URL = 'https://bidplus.gem.gov.in/bidlists?bidlists&page_no=' + str(page_no) #create dynamic URL
    print('URL cerated: ' + URL)

    scraped_data = requests.get(URL,verify=False) # request to get the data
    soup_data = bs(scraped_data.text, 'lxml') #parse the scraped data using lxml
    extracted_data = soup_data.find('div',{'id':'pagi_content'}) #find divs which contains required data

    if len(extracted_data) == 0: # **if block** which will check the length of extracted_data if it is 0 then quit and stop the further execution of script.
        break
    else:
        for idx in range(len(extracted_data)): # loops through all the divs and extract and print data
            if(idx % 2 == 1): #get data from odd indexes only because we have required data on odd indexes
                bid_data = extracted_data.contents[idx].text.strip().split('\n')
                print('-' * 100)
                print(bid_data[0]) #BID number
                print(bid_data[5]) #Items
                print(bid_data[6]) #Quantitiy Required
                print(bid_data[10] + bid_data[12].strip()) #Department name and address

You can use pandas

pip install pandas

obj can be

bid_data = []
for obj in list:
    obj= {
        "bid_data_0" :bid_data[0],
        "bid_data_5" :bid_data[5],
        "bid_data_6" :bid_data[6],
        "bid_data_10" :bid_data[10],
        "bid_data_12" :bid_data[12].strip(),
        "bid_data_17" :bid_data_17,
    }
bid_data.append(obj)

you can format bid_data to dict obj and in that object add only required field

import pandas as pd

bid_data = pd.DataFrame(bid_data)
bid_data.to_csv("file_name.csv", index=True, encoding='utf-8')

it is the simplest method I have ever used for exporting data to csv. Let me know if encounter any problem
