A UK business → the live public-sector contracts that fit what it does.

Reads what a business does, scans open Contracts Finder notices, and returns the matches with a fit score and the reason for each.

The public sector spends billions a year with outside suppliers and wants more of it with small firms, but finding the right notice means reading hundreds a week on Contracts Finder. This endpoint does the reading: give it a business (name or website) and it reads what the business actually does, scans the open notices published in the last week (or up to 30 days), and returns the ones that fit, each with a fit score and a one-line reason.
