BidSkim MCP Server — UK Tenders, Contract Renewals & Procurement Intelligence

UK procurement intelligence for AI assistants — live tenders, contract renewals with incumbents, and buyer/supplier profiles.

Docs · bidskim.com · Official MCP registry: com.bidskim/mcp

BidSkim's official Model Context Protocol server. It is a hosted remote server — there is nothing to install or run locally. This repository holds the public documentation and brand assets for directory listings; the server itself is closed-source.

Endpoint:   https://mcp.bidskim.com/mcp
Transport:  Streamable HTTP (stateless, MCP spec 2026-07-28, with fallback for 2025-era clients)
Auth:       OAuth 2.1 (RFC 9728 discovery) or API keys minted in BidSkim Settings
Access:     read-only, included with the BidSkim Predict plan

What it does

Eight read-only tools over UK public procurement data — Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, entity-resolved and deduplicated to one record per opportunity:

Tool What it answers
search_tenders Live and historical tenders by keyword, CPV, region, value, deadline
semantic_search "Find tenders like this" — meaning-based search over live tenders
get_tender Full detail for one notice, including framework and certification context
search_renewals Contracts expiring soon: expiry dates, incumbent suppliers, recurrence evidence
search_organisations Find buyers and suppliers by name
get_buyer A buyer's award history, spend patterns and top suppliers
get_supplier A supplier's wins, buyers served and market footprint
my_pipeline The signed-in user's saved tenders and matches

Typical prompts:

  • "Which contracts in my space expire in the next six months, and who holds them?"
  • "Find live tenders for commercial cleaning in the North West closing this month."
  • "What has Manchester City Council awarded recently, and to whom?"
