Search PORTUGUESE public-procurement AWARDED CONTRACTS published through Portal BASE (base.gov.pt), run by IMPIC. Filter by free-text keyword (matched against the Portuguese contract title), buyer (adjudicante/contracting-authority) name substring, supplier (adjudicatário/awarded contractor) name substring, contract-amount range (EUR), and a publish-date range. Returns compact shaped contracts: contract id, title, buyer, supplier, amount (EUR), contract type(s), CPV, publish date, and the contract-signing date. Call pt_contract_detail with the returned idcontrato for the full record.
