# How to Find Subcontracting Partners with OpenClaw

Use `search_awards`, `buyer_intelligence`, and `opportunity_details` to research primes across multiple markets. OpenClaw handles the scale when you need to map teaming opportunities across 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 the sectors and geographies to scan for prime contractors.
3. Batch award searches across all target segments.
4. Profile the top primes in each segment with buyer intelligence.
5. Rank primes by teaming potential based on award frequency, contract size, and capability gaps.

## Example Prompt

```
Use contract-opportunities to map prime contractors across UK defense, UK health, and EU digital services. Identify the top 5 primes in each sector, their win rates, and which are most likely to need cybersecurity subcontractors.
```

## Tips

- Compare primes across sectors to find firms with multi-sector presence and ongoing needs.
- Normalize award values to the same currency for cross-market comparison.
- Focus outreach on primes winning in sectors where your capabilities are most differentiated.
