simap_search
Pack: simap · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/simap/mcp
Search Swiss public procurement notices on simap.ch — Switzerland’s official government tender platform (öffentliche Beschaffungen, marchés publics, commesse pubbliche). PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for Swiss government tenders, RFPs, award decisions, and WTO/GPA notices; Switzerland is non-EU so its tenders live on simap rather than TED. Filter by free-text search, CPV codes, Swiss canton (ZH, BE, VD, GE, TI, …), process type (open/selective/…), project sub-type (construction/service/supply), publication type (tender/award), and publication date range. Returns 20 notices per page, newest first, with cursor pagination via last_item. Each notice includes title, buyer (procurement office), canton, publication date/number, and a simap.ch URL. Prices in awards are CHF.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
search | string | no | Free-text search over notices, e.g. “Software”, “Brücke”, “photovoltaïque”. Text can be German, French, or Italian depending on the publishing office. |
cpv_codes | string | no | CPV procurement classification code(s), comma-separated, e.g. “45000000” (construction works) or “72000000” (IT services). |
cantons | string | no | Swiss canton code(s) of the order address, comma-separated, e.g. “ZH”, “BE”, “VD”, “GE”, “TI”, “VD,GE”. |
process_types | string | no | Procedure type(s), comma-separated. Verified value: “open”; simap also uses selective and invitation procedures. |

pub_types | string | no | Publication type(s), comma-separated: “tender” for open calls, “award” for award decisions. |
