`colombia_search_processes`

Pack: colombia-secop · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/colombia-secop/mcp

Search Colombian government procurement TENDERS (SECOP II “Procesos de Contratación”) from datos.gov.co. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “open tenders in Colombia”, “Colombian public bids for ”, “government procurement processes in Colombia”. Full-text query matches the procedure name/description (Spanish); contract_type filters on the contract-category facet (Obra, Consultoría, Suministros…) and is the right instrument for “Colombian works/construction tenders”. Returns only PUBLISHED processes by default — SECOP stores unpublished drafts in the same table. Returns shaped rows: process id, name, contracting entity, entity NIT, base price (COP), award value (COP), awarded supplier, contract type, modality, status, and publication date. Values are in Spanish as published.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Keyword(s) to full-text match against the procedure name/description, e.g. “software”, “vías”, “medicamentos”. Spanish terms work best. Omit for most-recent tenders.
`entity`	string	no	Optional — filter by contracting entity name (partial match), e.g. “DANE”, “ALCALDIA”.
`include_unpublished`	boolean	no	Include draft processes that have no publication date (SECOP “Borrador”). Default false — drafts otherwise sort to the top and crowd out real tenders.
`limit`	number	no	Rows to return (1-1000, default 20).
