Government contract awards: who won and at what price

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.

Set up Sell to State for me: government tenders and contract awards from official sources in 73 countries, as MCP tools. Agent docs: https://docs.selltostate.com/llms.txt
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. Claude: Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector. ChatGPT: chatgpt.com/plugins > + > Add custom MCP server, choose OAuth. Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http selltostate https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp, then /mcp > Authenticate.
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.
3. Ask me what my company sells and in which countries. Call plan_search with my answer, then search with its scope, q and filters. Show me the 10 best open tenders with the title, the buyer and the dates. Then give me app_url: it shows every row, and I can save the search there for email alerts.

# Contract awards: who won, at what price (Sell to State)

## Access

1. MCP: the server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp (OAuth, or the x-api-key of the agent sign-in: POST https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup, the user approves one code). Call `whoami`. `active` false is a free account: `plan_search` and `search` only, 1-2 searches a day.
2. REST: https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1 with the header `x-api-key`. Read the key from `STS_API_KEY` and never print it.
3. No plan yet: the user picks a plan at https://app.selltostate.com/plans, or you run the agent signup in "Get access" of https://www.selltostate.com/skills/selltostate/SKILL.md. The user pays in the browser.

## Task

Show the government contract awards for <what my company sells> in <countries> in the last 12 months: who won, the buyer, the value and the date. Then list the top 10 suppliers by total value.

Ask the user for each value in <angle brackets> before the first call.

## Steps

1. Search awards: MCP `search_awards` with `country` (one country per call), `q` and `awarded_days=365`. REST: `GET https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/awards?country=<slug>&q=<words>&awarded_days=365&page_size=100`.
2. Use `amount_min` / `amount_max`, `supplier_slug`, `agency_slug` and `year` to narrow the list. Read `total` and page with `page`.
3. Show supplier, buyer, value with currency, award date and `source_url`.
4. Rank the top 10 suppliers by total value per currency. Do not add amounts in different currencies.

## Rules

- Give `source_url` (the official notice) for each tender and award. The user reads the documents and bids on the official portal.
- Amounts are in the source currency. Do not add amounts in different currencies.
- The data shows awards, not bids. Do not say that a company lost a tender.
- On a 402, show the message and the link to the user, then stop. On a 429, wait `Retry-After` seconds.
- Credit the data: "Data: Sell to State (selltostate.com)".

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.

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.
