Tenders Wa Tas Scraper

What does WA & Tasmania Government Tender Scraper do?

WA & Tasmania Government Tender Scraper collects tenders, requests for quote, and awarded-contract notices from two Australian state government procurement portals: Tenders WA and Tenders Tasmania. Each run returns the tender title, issuing agency, procurement category, region, key dates, and - for awarded contracts - the winning supplier. Use it to build a live bid pipeline for WA or Tasmanian government work, track which suppliers are winning contracts in your industry, or monitor a category without checking either portal by hand.

The Actor works fully logged out - no account required - and returns clean, structured JSON ready for CSV, Excel, or your own pipeline. Pick a Jurisdiction per run: Western Australia and Tasmania are run on two independent government systems with their own record ids, so one run covers one state.

Why use WA & Tasmania Government Tender Scraper?

• Two state governments, one consistent output shape - the same fields whether you are pulling WA tenders or Tasmanian awarded contracts.
• Every stage of the pipeline - open, closed, withdrawn and awarded listings, with a status and record_type on every row.
• Supplier intelligence - Tasmanian awarded-contract records include the winning supplier's name, whether it is a Tasmanian business, and its address.
• Filter the way buyers and sellers think - by status, category and issuing agency (plus free-text keywords for Tasmania).
• Clean, normalised output - dates as ISO strings, null for anything not published, de-duplicated by tender id.

How it works

1. Your input - choose a Jurisdiction (WA or Tasmania), leave Operation on Search, and pick a Status.
2. The Actor collects it - it reads the matching listing for that status and, unless you turn off "Return the full record", opens each result to collect the full record.
3. Your output - one clean row per tender or awarded contract, ready to export to CSV, Excel, JSON, Google Sheets, or your own system.

Full record for a known WA tender

Tips for Best Results

• Western Australia and Tasmania are run on entirely different government systems - always set jurisdiction to match the ids or URLs you are working with.
• For Tasmania's tenderDetails, set recordType to contract when the id comes from an awarded-contract page, otherwise the Actor looks for it among open tenders.
• Use startUrls instead of ids when you already have the full record link - it works for both jurisdictions without needing recordType.
• Turn off "Return the full record" for a much faster run when you only need the fields already shown in the results list.

Known Limitations

• Neither site's public listing paginates beyond one page per status in current testing; if a status ever grows past that, only the records shown on that page are returned.
• Western Australia's tender detail pages do not republish the closing date shown on the results list, so the Actor merges it in from the listing row - this only happens automatically when a search operation collects the record, not when you look it up directly by id with no matching listing row in the same run.
• documents_url (WA) and individual attachment names are not always published in a machine-readable form; download links may require a supplier login to actually retrieve files.
• Tasmania's own keyword search (via its /Search/Index form) is not used by this Actor; keywords filters the listing client-side instead.
• The Actor does not log in and cannot retrieve tender response documents that require supplier registration.

Integrations

Connect the dataset through the Apify API, webhooks, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or scheduled runs. Every run's output is available as a dataset you can pull on a schedule into a CRM, a bid-management tool, or a data warehouse.

Export Formats

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and JSONL via the Dataset tab or the Apify API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one run collect both WA and Tasmania?

No. The two states run independent systems with their own ids, so jurisdiction scopes a run to one state. Run the Actor twice (or as two Tasks) to cover both.

Does it return awarded contracts with the supplier?

Yes for Tasmania (set statuses to include Awarded) - supplier name, whether it is a Tasmanian business, and address are included when published. Western Australia's "Awarded" status returns tenders with an awarded status but does not separately publish supplier/contract records the way Tasmania does.

Why are some fields null?

Agencies publish different levels of detail on each platform. When a field is not on the record, the Actor returns null rather than guessing.

How are duplicates handled?

Records are de-duplicated within a run by their site-native tender or contract id.

Can I get the full record for a tender I already know?

Yes. Set operation to tenderDetails and pass ids in ids (with recordType for Tasmania contract ids) or full URLs in startUrls.

Do I need an account or login?

No. The Actor collects only publicly available information and does not log in.

Am I charged for failed results?

You are only charged for records successfully returned in the dataset.
