# How to Build a Bid Pipeline with OpenClaw

Use `search_opportunities`, `match_supplier_profile`, and `watchlist_snapshot` to build pipelines at scale. OpenClaw is best when you need to run the same pipeline logic across multiple business units, sectors, or geographies.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in OpenClaw: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Define profiles for each business unit or sector.
3. Batch `search_opportunities` across all target segments.
4. Score each batch against the relevant supplier profile.
5. Merge results into a unified pipeline ranked by fit and deadline.

## Example Prompt

```
Use contract-opportunities to search live tenders across UK government IT, EU digital services, and US federal cybersecurity. Score each against the relevant business unit profile and create a unified pipeline ranked by fit score.
```

## Tips

- Run separate profiles per business unit so scoring reflects each team's actual capabilities.
- Normalize deadline formats across sources for clean sorting.
- Use watchlist_snapshot to maintain separate shortlists per business unit.
