Set up Sell to State for me: government tenders and contract awards from official sources in 73 countries, as MCP tools. Agent docs: https://docs.selltostate.com/llms.txt
1. Sign me in yourself. Try this first: you need me only for one approval click.
- If you can send HTTP requests: POST https://staging-app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup with JSON {"client_name": "<your app name>"}. Open verification_uri_complete from the reply in my browser if you can, else show it to me as a link. I sign up free with Google or email, and approve the code. Every "interval" seconds, POST token_endpoint with {"device_code": "<device_code>"} until the reply has access_token. Send access_token in the x-api-key header to the MCP server https://staging-app.selltostate.com/api/mcp.
- If you cannot send HTTP requests: tell me to add the MCP server https://staging-app.selltostate.com/api/mcp in this app. Its sign-in page also creates the free account.

2. The tools are free to connect. A free account gets plan_search 3 times a day and search for 2 different searches a day: titles, buyers, status and dates. Amounts, winners and notice links need a plan. Call whoami to see my plan.
3. Call whoami. If it has onboarding_required, fill its questions with what you know about my company, ask me the rest, show me all the answers and ask me for product files. Then call submit_onboarding: show me its rows with their links and offer me its next_options. Without onboarding_required: ask me what my company sells and in which countries, call plan_search, then search with its scope, q and filters, show me the 10 best open tenders, and give me app_url.

What is SPMS Health Procurement?

SPMS (Serviços Partilhados do Ministério da Saúde) is the shared-services arm of Portugal's Ministry of Health and acts as the central procurement authority for the Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS). It designs and manages framework agreements covering pharmaceuticals, medical devices, consumables, and health-IT systems used by public hospitals and primary-care units nationwide. SPMS also owns responsibility for SNS digital infrastructure, including interoperability platforms and electronic health record systems.

Key procurement sectors

Pharmaceuticals Medical devices Health IT

Portugal procurement landscape

By aggregating demand across hundreds of public hospitals and health centers, SPMS achieves volume pricing that individual entities cannot negotiate alone, making its framework agreements the dominant supply route for the Portuguese public health market. Pharmaceutical tenders are structured as multi-lot framework agreements with price competition, while medical-device lots require compliance with CE marking and clinical-evidence standards. Health-IT procurement has grown significantly as Portugal pushes ahead with SNS digitalization, creating recurring demand for interoperability solutions, data platforms, and patient-facing digital services. Suppliers awarded framework places gain access to call-off orders placed by hospitals throughout the contract period, offering long-term revenue visibility. The centralized model also means that a single tender loss can exclude a supplier from a broad segment of the market for the framework's duration.

Bidding on Portugal tenders.

Suppliers must hold valid Portuguese or EU business registration and, for pharmaceutical and medical-device lots, comply with INFARMED regulatory requirements. IT vendors typically need to demonstrate ISO or equivalent quality-management certification and relevant project references from comparable health system implementations.

Why search SPMS Health Procurement with Sell to State?

SPMS publishes framework tender rounds at irregular intervals and across multiple platforms, making pipeline timing hard to predict manually. Hook monitors SPMS procurement activity in plain English, alerting you as soon as a relevant pharmaceutical, device, or health-IT framework opens — giving you maximum preparation time.

Yes. EU procurement rules apply. Foreign firms must demonstrate Portuguese-market implementation capability and comply with SNS data-sovereignty and interoperability standards.

How often does SPMS run new framework tenders? +
