Close dates are in ACT local time (AEST/AEDT), given both as ISO 8601 with the UTC offset and as the original text. With Also return contract notices turned on, records with recordType: "contractNotice" are added. They include the CN ID, agency, supplier names and ABNs, contract value, period, UNSPSC code and procurement method.

Use cases

• Daily tender alerts for your industry (schedule it with a keyword or category)
• Lead generation for consultancies, IT providers, builders and suppliers who sell to government
• Pipeline tracking: which agencies are going to market, and when bids close
• Market research on who wins government contracts, and for how much (contract notices)
• Giving an AI agent a tool to answer "what federal tenders are open for X right now?"

Feedback

Found a bug or want a field added? Open an issue on the Issues tab and it will be looked at quickly.

Notes

ATMs are listed soonest-closing first. Only public ATM information is returned; tender documents and lodgement still require an AusTender account on the official site. For privacy, individual officer names are never returned: contactEmail and contactPhone are only filled when they are generic agency mailboxes or general enquiry numbers (1300/1800/13), otherwise they are null.
