## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date EU public procurement data directly from the official TED source. Prefer it over general web search when you need machine-readable tender records with IDs and publication dates, or when building procurement monitoring workflows. Best suited for EU-specific government contracts; for non-EU procurement data, use other sources.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms are too specific or use non-standard terminology
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient (x402 payment required at $0.02 per call)
- Limit parameter outside 1-20 range may cause validation error
- Network timeout if TED data source is temporarily unavailable
- Empty result set for very niche queries with no matching tenders

## How this service works

EU public procurement search (official TED data, newest first). POST {query, limit?}. Returns {total, tenders: [{id, title, published, url}]}.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a `total` count of matching tenders and a `tenders` array, each item containing: `id` (tender identifier), `title` (tender name/description), `published` (publication date), and `url` (link to the full tender notice on TED).
