AusTender Scraper: Australian Government Contracts & Suppliers

See who the Australian Government is buying from, what it's buying and for how much. Each row is a contract notice with agency, supplier, value, UNSPSC code and contract dates, taken from the official AusTender OCDS API. There's no login and no scraping.

Use it to:

• 🕵️ Track your competitors. Get an alert whenever a named supplier wins a federal contract (keywords: ["Accenture"]).
• 🎯 Build a sales pipeline. Find agencies that buy your category (UNSPSC prefix) and see what they spend.
• 📈 Size a market. Total contract value by agency or category over any date range.
• 🔔 Get daily contract alerts with a Schedule and onlyNew, sent on to Slack, email or Google Sheets with Apify integrations.

Why this Actor: it reads the official government data feed, links each notice to its AusTender page, and removes contact-person details.

How much does it cost?

You pay per event: a small fee per run start plus a fee per result. A daily alert that returns 20 new items costs only cents per day. Use maxResults or the run's Max total charge to cap spend.

Example inputs
