Integration details

Description

BidSonar is a live directory of UK and EU public-sector contracts, grants, buyers, suppliers and sectors. Ask in plain English to find open tenders and grants, filter by value, deadline, country, region and status, open the full record for a notice, see which suppliers a public body has awarded work to, explore a sector's top buyers and latest opportunities, and check which official sources BidSonar covers and how fresh each one is. The data comes from Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, eTenders Ireland, TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), Innovate UK and UKRI. Values keep their source currency and are labelled as estimated, exact, range or undisclosed. BidSonar never converts currencies or adds amounts across currencies. Every result links to its BidSonar page and, where available, the official source notice. Who it's for: businesses that bid for public-sector work, bid and sales teams, consultants, and researchers following UK and EU public spending. Limitations: BidSonar is read-only. It can't submit bids or applications, save opportunities, or change anything in your BidSonar account. Coverage follows the official feeds listed above, so a notice published only on another portal won't appear. Signing in needs a BidSonar account.

Tools

9 tools agents can invoke

Browse the organisations directory: public-sector buyers, winning suppliers, and funding bodies across the UK & EU. Filter by name, type, or region; sort by recent activity or total value. Use get_organisation for a full profile.
list_organisations
Fetch the full record for one contract or grant by id: description, buyer or funding body, sector, value (faithful currency, never converted), deadline, awarded suppliers where awarded, funding programme for grants, and the source notice link.
get_opportunity
Fetch one organisation's profile by slug: role (buyer/supplier/funding body), contract counts, awarded and issued values by currency (never converted or summed across currencies), and open/closed/awarded opportunity counts. Use list_organisation_suppliers for who a buyer awards to.
get_organisation
Fetch one sector by slug: recent opportunities (optionally filtered by status), top buyers, and totals. Sector slugs come from list_sectors or search results.
get_sector
List the suppliers a public-sector buyer has awarded contracts to, with award counts, values, share of the buyer's disclosed spend, and each supplier's top sectors at that buyer. Values are award amounts summed as published, without currency conversion; for a buyer that awards in more than one currency, summed totals are not comparable across suppliers. Summary flags whether values were disclosed at all.
list_organisation_suppliers
List the official procurement and grant feeds BidSonar ingests — publisher, licence, coverage, refresh cadence, and the newest published notice per source.
list_sources
List every sector in the directory with its opportunity count, ordered by activity. Sector slugs feed get_sector.
list_sectors
Free-text search across BidSonar's UK & EU public-sector directory. `opportunities` holds open notices only — ones that can still be bid on. Set `include_past` to add past notices with their winners (`past_opportunities`: awarded notices and ones closed in the last six months), for market-history questions such as who won similar work or what a buyer has awarded; they're included automatically when nothing open matches. Parses type, value, region and deadline constraints from the query, resolves organisation names, and blends semantic and keyword matching. Use get_opportunity or get_organisation for full detail; use search_opportunities for precise structured filters.
search
Search BidSonar's directory of UK & EU public-sector contracts and grants (Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, TED, eTenders Ireland, Innovate UK, UKRI) with structured filters: type, status, country, region, value range, deadline window. Returns up to 50 summaries per call, newest first; paginate with page. For free-text or entity questions use search instead.
search_opportunities

FAQs

BidSonar ChatGPT Plugin FAQ

How the directory, categories and Discoverability Score work.

Read the methodology

How do I improve BidSonar's ChatGPT Plugin discoverability?

The levers are the listing surface agents actually read: names, descriptions, keywords, tool metadata, and registry health. Which lever matters depends on where discovery breaks, which is what continuous measurement shows.
