Search PORTUGUESE public-procurement tender ANNOUNCEMENTS (contract notices) published through Portal BASE (base.gov.pt), run by IMPIC (Instituto dos Mercados Públicos, do Imobiliário e da Construção). IMPIC’s own live API needs registration and a token Pipeworx does not hold yet, so this answers from a refreshed recent-window dataset (see data_as_of and the window fields in the response). Filter by free-text keyword (matched against the Portuguese notice title), CPV classification code or prefix (e.g. “45” for construction, “72000000” for IT services), contracting-authority (buyer) name substring (Portuguese spelling, e.g. “Câmara Municipal”, “Instituto”), and a publish-date range. Returns compact shaped notices: id, IMPIC notice id, buyer, title, notice type, contract type(s), base amount (EUR), CPV, publish date, and proposal deadline. Call pt_announcement_detail with the returned id for the full record.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Keyword(s), case-insensitive, matched against the Portuguese notice title, e.g. “limpeza”, “software”, “obras”, “manutenção”.
`cpv`	string	no	CPV classification code or numeric prefix, e.g. “45” (construction works), “72000000” (IT services).
`buyer`	string	no	Contracting-authority (buyer) name, partial match, Portuguese spelling, e.g. “Câmara Municipal de Lisboa”, “Instituto”, “Universidade”.
`date_from`	string	no	Earliest PUBLISH date, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to ${DEFAULT_WINDOW_DAYS} days before date_to.
`date_to`	string	no	Latest PUBLISH date, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the newest date in the loaded window (see ann_window_to in any response), which can trail today because IMPIC publishes per-year bulk files.
`limit`	number,string	no	Max notices to return (default ${DEFAULT_LIMIT}, max ${MAX_LIMIT}). Newest-first.
