`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.
`project_sub_types`	string	no	Project sub-type(s), comma-separated: “construction”, “service”, “supply”.
`pub_types`	string	no	Publication type(s), comma-separated: “tender” for open calls, “award” for award decisions.
`published_from`	string	no	Earliest publication date, YYYY-MM-DD. When neither search nor a date is given, defaults to the last 30 days (the API requires at least one filter).
`published_until`	string	no	Latest publication date, YYYY-MM-DD.
`lang`	string	no	Language for titles and labels: “de” (default), “fr”, “it”, or “en”. Falls back de→fr→it→en when a notice lacks that language.
`last_item`	string	no	Pagination cursor. Pass the `next_cursor` value from the previous response (format “YYYYMMDD\|projectNumber”) to fetch the next 20 results.
