What is BidSkim?
BidSkim is a UK procurement intelligence platform. This is its official MCP server: it gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP-capable assistant read-only access to live UK government tenders, contract-renewal intelligence and buyer/supplier profiles.
Data covers every UK public source - Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales - entity-resolved and deduplicated to one record per opportunity.
