# Government contract awards: who won and at what price

*Source: [https://www.selltostate.com/features/contract-award-data/](https://www.selltostate.com/features/contract-award-data/)*

An award notice tells you more than a tender: who won, at what price, and when. Sell to State collects the award notices of official portals and links each one to its buyer and its suppliers.

1. Sign me in yourself. Try this first: you need me only for one approval click.
- If you can send HTTP requests: POST https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup with JSON {"client_name": "<your app name>"}. Show me verification_uri_complete from the reply as a link. I open it, sign up free with Google or email, and approve the code. Every "interval" seconds, POST token_endpoint with {"device_code": "<device_code>"} until the reply has access_token. Send access_token in the x-api-key header to the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp.
- If you cannot send HTTP requests: tell me to add the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp in this app. Its sign-in page also creates the free account.

2. The tools are free to connect. A free account gets plan_search 3 times a day and search for 2 different searches a day: titles, buyers, status and dates. Amounts, winners and notice links need a plan. Call whoami to see my plan. Read the skill at https://www.selltostate.com/skills/selltostate-contract-award-data/SKILL.md.

## What each award shows

The winning supplier, the buying agency, the awarded value (or a note that the value is not published), the award date, the sector and the link to the official notice. A contract with several winners lists every winner on one contract page.

## Search the awards like tenders

Use the same words, filters and boolean syntax as for open tenders. Filter by value, date, country, buyer or supplier. Sort by value to find the largest contracts.

## Use the awards to win the next tender

Last year's award price is the best reference for your next bid. The list of winners shows who you compete with. The buyer's history shows what it buys and how often.

## How it works

1. Search the awards: Words, countries, value, dates.
2. Open a contract: Every winner, the buyer, the value.
3. Follow the links: To the buyer and the supplier pages.
4. Export: To CSV or through the API.

## Who uses it

- Bid teams that set a price for a tender
- Market researchers who size a public market
- Sales teams that look for buyers of their product

## Questions

### Where does the award data come from?

From the official procurement portals and open-data feeds of each country, for example TED for the EU, Contracts Finder and Find a Tender for the UK, and the national portals. Each award links to its notice where the source gives a link.

### How far back does the data go?

It depends on the source. We load the history of every source back to 1 January 2024. Each country page shows the date range of its data.

### Can I see who won a specific tender?

Yes. Open the tender page: it lists every winner of the contract, with the value where the source publishes it.
