## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability uk-government-public-sector-tender-notices-find-a-tender-5a72ffad
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest UK government tender notices from Find a Tender — show me up to 10 of the newest ones, including the buyer, estimated value, and deadline for each.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, structured snapshot of the latest UK public sector procurement notices without needing full tender documents. It is ideal for monitoring new opportunities, daily digests, or alerting workflows. Prefer it over scraping find-tender.service.gov.uk directly since it delivers pre-parsed OCDS data with key fields extracted. Not suitable when you need historical notices, full tender documents, or non-UK procurement data.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Find a Tender API unavailable — returns error or empty notices array
- limit parameter out of range (must be 1-20) — may return default of 5 or validation error
- No new notices published recently — returns an empty or short list
- Stale checkedAt timestamp if upstream data is delayed
- Network timeout on the Cloudflare Workers endpoint

## How this service works

Pay-per-call company registry, government, legal and B2B data tools for AI agents, from official registers and public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing the source URL, a checkedAt timestamp, and an array of tender notices each with: noticeId, date, buyer organisation name, tender title, stage (e.g. 'tender'), status (e.g. 'active'), estimated valueGBP, and tenderDeadline as an ISO 8601 datetime. Returns only the newest page of results (up to 20 notices).
