Example prompt: Find me recent UK government contract awards and open tender opportunities in cybersecurity — show me which departments are spending, the contract values, and any active bids I could pursue.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need UK public-sector procurement data from Contracts Finder or Find a Tender Service. Prefer this over the US or EU sibling endpoints when the target market is the United Kingdom. Ideal for business-development agents identifying government contract opportunities, competitive intelligence on which UK departments are awarding contracts, or market sizing for a given sector within UK public procurement.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given keyword or sector — returns empty results set
- Rate limit or payment failure — 402 response if USDC payment not processed
- Contracts Finder or FTS upstream API unavailable — may return 503 or timeout
- Invalid query parameters — returns 400 with parameter validation error
- Stale data if upstream sources have delayed publication of new awards
