# How to Find Subcontracting Partners with Copilot

Use `search_awards`, `buyer_intelligence`, and `opportunity_details` to build structured teaming intelligence. Copilot formats the output for CRM import or partnership tracking systems.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in Copilot: {"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}
2. Define the fields your partnership tracker needs.
3. Search awards to identify high-value prime contractors.
4. Enrich with buyer intelligence and opportunity details.
5. Export structured records for CRM or partnership database import.

## Example Prompt

```
Use contract-opportunities to find primes winning UK government IT contracts over 500K GBP. Return JSON with prime_name, total_awards, total_value, top_buyers, contract_types, and subcontracting_likelihood fields.
```

## Tips

- Standardize prime profiles for easy comparison and CRM integration.
- Track which primes you have contacted to avoid duplicate outreach.
- Update quarterly to catch new entrants winning their first large contracts.
