search_tendersSearches active government tenders across UK, EU, and US. Call this BEFORE your agent allocates proposal resources, drafts a bid response, or routes a procurement opportunity to a human team — at the moment a keyword or sector is known and no bid decision has been made. Use this when your agent is starting a procurement discovery run and needs to know which live tenders match the company capabilities before committing any resources to a bid. Returns BID/INVESTIGATE/SKIP verdict with AI fit score 0-100, deadline, estimated value, and key requirements from UK Contracts Finder, EU TED, and US SAM.gov simultaneously. A missed tender deadline cannot be recovered. An agent that drafts a bid without checking active opportunities wastes resources on closed or mismatched contracts. Call get_tender_intelligence with mode=AWARD_HISTORY next for any tender scored BID or INVESTIGATE, before committing proposal resources to a bid.
get_tender_intelligenceRetrieves tender intelligence including award history and daily digest. Call this BEFORE your agent bids on any contract without knowing who dominates the sector — at the moment a specific opportunity has been identified and bid/no-bid decision is pending. Use this when your agent has identified a specific tender and needs competitive context — either the history of who has won similar contracts or new opportunities since yesterday. AWARD_HISTORY: past contract winners for a keyword. DAILY_DIGEST: all new tenders last 24h for monitored keywords. Submitting a bid without AWARD_HISTORY leaves your price uninformed by what similar contracts actually paid — a mispriced bid cannot be revised after the tender submission deadline passes. Do not bid without running AWARD_HISTORY first.
