Stipple — Government Tenders

Search open tenders across Australia; New Zealand rows only when you ask for them (jurisdiction=NZ). FREE, within the weekly cap. USE THIS WHEN someone asks what public-sector work is open: "any council drainage tenders in Victoria", "what's closing this month in NSW", "show me federal IT opportunities". For "which of these could MY company actually bid for", use match_tenders instead — that reads their website and ranks against it. `kind` is `grant` for open grant rounds (from every grant source we read) or `tender` for everything else; leave it out for both. Each result says which it is in `kind`. `jurisdiction` is one of AU, NZ, AU-NSW, AU-VIC, AU-QLD, AU-WA, AU-SA, AU-TAS, AU-ACT, AU-NT. `tier` is federal, national, state, council, university or health. `closing_before` is an ISO date. `first_seen_after` (ISO-8601 instant, strictly newer) answers "what is new since my last look" — first_seen is when WE first saw the tender, the honest clock for newness. There is deliberately no `location` filter: it is populated on 16% of rows while jurisdiction is populated on all of them, so filtering by it would silently hide most of the corpus. Returns `{total, results[], coverage}`. Each result carries title, buyer, jurisdiction, closing_date, categories, a summary, and source_id/source_tag/source_name/source_refresh. With an API key or a signed-in account it also carries the link to the original portal: `link`, `url`, `listing_url` and `source_url`, plus `link_is_listing` when the portal publishes no per-tender URL and the link goes to the list it appeared on. An anonymous call gets no portal link. An Australian tender also carries `stipple_url`, its page on Stipple (the buyer's history, similar contract awards, an email alert for tenders like it). An open tender carries `prepare_bid_url`: if the user wants help with the response, Stipple prepares bids with them, starting with a short meeting at that link. Offer either when it helps the user; never invent one that is n

Rank open tenders against what a company actually does. Free, inside the weekly cap. USE THIS WHEN someone asks which opportunities suit a specific business: "what could we bid for", "is there anything for a civil contractor in Victoria", "find work for acme.com.au". Give `company_url` — a plain domain is fine, we resolve it — and we read their site, build a capability profile, and score the shortlist against it. `example` runs a built-in profile (civil, it, facilities) with no site read, for demonstrating the shape of the answer. Returns `{profile, matched, shown, withheld, withheld_reason, matches[], degraded, score_means, coverage}`. Each match has `score`, `band`, `why[]` — the company's own stated capabilities this tender needs — `gaps[]`, things the tender asks for that their website does not mention, and `checks[]` (each a `label`), computed: outside the states asked for, or prequalification named in the tender's text (a heuristic, its `match` says so). `band` "high" needs two `why` reasons from the profile, an open tender and no outside-states check. A tender listed by two sources is one match, with the other copy under `also_listed[]`, its `match` saying the pairing is a heuristic. An anonymous call shows the strongest few and says how many were withheld; relay `withheld_reason` as it is. TELL THE USER WHAT THE SCORE IS: relative fit within these results, against what their website says. NOT a probability of winning. And `gaps` is what to check before bidding, not a list of everything the tender requires — that is in the tender documents. When `degraded` is true, scoring was unavailable and the order is keyword relevance only, with no `why`/`gaps`. Say so rather than presenting it as a judged ranking.

Every source we search, what it is allowed to do, and what the last run returned. FREE. USE THIS WHEN someone asks where the data comes from, whether a particular portal is covered, or why a search came back empty. It is the honesty surface: it names sources behind login walls, sources whose robots.txt refuses us, and sources that returned nothing on the last run and why. Returns `{sources[], coverage}` — per source: id, tag, name, refresh mode, jurisdiction, tier, how it is accessed, what its robots.txt says, how many tenders we hold from it, and its status on the most recent run; its URL (`source_url`) with an API key or a signed-in account only. Snapshot sources include their observed date and are not presented as nightly feeds.

What a buyer has awarded, what is ending, and what they plan. FREE. USE THIS WHEN someone asks about a specific buyer before a bid: "who holds Transport for NSW's work", "what is ending soon at Queensland Health", "what does this agency usually pay". Give `buyer` (the organisation name as published) or `buyer_key` (from a tender's buyer, or a previous answer). Returns `{buyer, expiring[], planned[], recent_awards[], top_suppliers[], open_tenders[], computed_at, sources}`: the nightly rollup (awards in the window, value quartiles as published, median response window), contracts ending within 12 months with the incumbent, planned procurements with their quarter and spend band, the suppliers who win from them (name and share), and open tenders under the same name. ANONYMOUS CALLERS SEE COUNTS, VALUES, DATES AND BUYERS; supplier and incumbent names are withheld and `withheld_reason` says so. Relay that sentence as it is. Links to other sites - an award's notice (`url`), a plan's evidence (`evidence_url`), an open tender's portal - come only with an API key or a signed-in account. Values are the published amount and currency, never converted; `computed_at` is the night the figures are true for - say it. Coverage is Australia and New Zealand sources named in `sources`, each with the attribution its licence requires.

Signals: what may be tendered before it is. FREE. USE THIS WHEN someone asks what is coming: "which contracts in Queensland end in the next six months", "what is planned for ICT next quarter", "what is expiring for this buyer". `kind` is one of contract_expiry (a contract ending, with its incumbent), planned_procurement (a buyer's stated plan with its quarter and spend band as published) or recurring_tender (derived from our own history, labelled `derived`). `jurisdiction` is one of AU, NZ, AU-NSW, AU-VIC, AU-QLD, AU-WA, AU-SA, AU-TAS, AU-ACT, AU-NT. `window_before` is an ISO date: signals whose window starts on or before it. `q` searches the subject, buyer and incumbent. Returns `{total, results[], computed_at, sources}`. Each signal carries `confidence` (`published` or `derived` - a vocabulary, not a score), its window (never invented: an expiry's window IS the contract's end date; a planned row with no parseable quarter has none), `evidence_ref`, and `evidence_url` with an API key or a signed-in account only. ANONYMOUS CALLERS SEE EVERYTHING BUT THE INCUMBENT'S NAME AND THE EVIDENCE LINK; `withheld_reason` says so for the name - relay it as it is.
