search_notices
Pack: uk-contracts · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/uk-contracts/mcp
Search UK government procurement notices (open tenders + awarded contracts) from Contracts Finder, published as OCDS by the Cabinet Office. Filter by stage and an optional published-date range; results are newest-first. Keyless. The UK complement to EU tenders. Note: there is no server-side keyword filter — pass a keyword to filter client-side over title/description of the returned window.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
keyword | string | no | Optional case-insensitive substring filtered client-side over each notice title + description (the API has no keyword search). |
stage | string | no | Notice stage: “tender” (open opportunities) or “award” (awarded contracts). Default “tender”. |
published_from | string | no | Optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) lower bound on publication date, e.g. “2026-05-01”. |
published_to | string | no | Optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) upper bound on publication date, e.g. “2026-06-01”. |
