`au_search_contracts`

Pack: australia-tenders · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/australia-tenders/mcp

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for Australian federal government contracts/tenders — “what did the Department of Defence award in May 2026”, “AusTender contracts published last month”, “recent Australian government procurement over $1M”. Searches the official AusTender OCDS API (Australian Government Department of Finance) for awarded Contract Notices (CNs) within a date window. Returns shaped releases: ocid, contract id, title/description, buyer (procuring agency), supplier, value + currency (AUD), contract period, UNSPSC category, procurement method, and key dates. Date range defaults to the last ~30 days if omitted.

`date_to`	string	no	End of window, ISO-8601 (e.g. “2026-06-30”). Defaults to now.
