Free-text filter applied client-side against the tender title + description. Use to narrow a date-window pull to a domain — e.g. 'cyber security', 'electronic patient record', 'managed service desk', 'occupational health', 'drone'. Leave blank to return every notice in the date window matching the other filters.
Lower bound for notice publication date. Mapped to the OCDS API updatedFrom parameter. Default is 30 days before the run start. The Find a Tender service publishes ~200-400 notices per UK business day, so a 30-day window typically returns 5,000-10,000 notices before searchQuery / status / value filters.
Upper bound for notice publication date. Mapped to the OCDS API updatedTo parameter. Default is the run start timestamp. Combine with dateFrom for back-fill (e.g. dateFrom=2024-01-01 dateTo=2024-12-31 for a full-year sweep) or leave both blank for rolling 30-day windows.
Drop any tender whose net value (ex-VAT) is below this GBP threshold. Useful for filtering out below-threshold mini-tenders when chasing OJEU-threshold framework lots. Public Contracts Regulations 2015 thresholds (current 2024 rates): Goods/Services central gov GBP 138,760, Goods/Services sub-central GBP 213,477, Works GBP 5,336,937, Light-touch services GBP 663,540. Set to 138760 to capture above-threshold only. Default 0 = no filter.
Case-insensitive substring match against the buyer name. Examples: 'NHS', 'Ministry of Defence', 'Cabinet Office', 'Transport for London', 'Birmingham City Council', 'Crown Commercial Service', 'Network Rail'. Leave blank to return notices from every buyer.
Filter by CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) code — the EU/UK statutory taxonomy used to classify procurement subject matter. Accepts a prefix: '72' = IT services (everything from 72000000 to 72999999), '7222' = software development, '85' = health and social work, '45' = construction, '79' = business services. Full code list at https://simap.ted.europa.eu/cpv. Leave blank to return notices across all CPV codes.
Filter by OCDS tender.status. 'planning' = pipeline / pre-procurement notice (PIN). 'active' = open Contract Notice accepting tenders. 'awarded' = Contract Award Notice published, supplier named. 'closed' = tender period ended without award (withdrawn / cancelled). 'all' (default) returns every status.
Hard cap on dataset rows pushed (1-2000). Each tender is one row. The Find a Tender OCDS API paginates 100 notices per page; this actor follows the links.next cursor until maxResults is hit or no more pages remain. Set tight on broad sweeps — a 30-day NHS sweep can return 500-1500 rows.
