NZ Government Tenders Feed

For: NZ suppliers, consultancies and bid writers who want a daily list of matching open government tenders, plus procurement researchers and tender-alert services.

What it does: reads the public GETS (Government Electronic Tender Service) open-tenders RSS feed, filters it by your keywords, regions and categories, and returns one structured row per tender. Schedule it daily to get alerts. It reads RSS only: no tender detail pages, documents or logins.

Input

keywords	Matched against title or overview (case-insensitive). Multiple values are ORed.

Limits

• RSS only, so no full tender documents, attachments or Q&A. Register on GETS to respond.
• The feed typically holds a few hundred open items. If the feed structure changes, the run fails loudly.
• Regions with several values are joined with ; .
• Purchaser emails and phone numbers are redacted from overview.
• Personal names are removed only when they follow a person label or sign-off (for example Name:, Contact:, Contact person:, Attn:, Enquiries to:, or "The organiser of this contract is"), or a sign-off (Regards, Kind regards, Ngā mihi / Ngā mihi nui / Ngā mihi maioha, Kia ora, Mauri ora, Noho ora mai, Hei konā (mai/rā), Nāku noa, nā, Nā) that ends with a comma, one or more line breaks, or a comma followed by line breaks (blank lines and   included). Cheers, Thanks and Many thanks count as sign-offs only before a comma or line break. A role line between the sign-off and the name ("Kind regards / Procurement Advisor / Sarah Lee") is kept and the name is removed. A line starting with Note, Please, Attention or Important after a sign-off is kept. After a person label, a one-word agency name followed by a surname (Contact: Whaikaha Brown) is treated as a name. HTML paragraphs are separated by spaces and HTML entities (ā, ā) are decoded. Sign-offs are matched with or without macrons, and before line breaks are joined. A greeting in the middle of a sentence ("Ngā mihi to everyone…") is not treated as a sign-off. Known agencies and acronyms after a sign-off ("Ngā mihi, Kāinga Ora Contracts Team", "ACC Procurement") are kept. Name removal is pattern-based, with these known limits:
  • Names that are not next to a label stay in (for example "Please direct questions to Jane Smith at [redacted]"); only their email or phone is removed.
  • A 2-word Te <Name> after a label (for example "Contact: Te Rangi") is kept, because many agencies have 2-word "Te …" names (Te Mātāwai, Te Pūkenga). Longer names such as "Te Rangi Huata" are removed.
  • A label followed by an organisation-shaped phrase is kept, so a name that happens to end in an organisation word (for example "Aroha Trust", "Jo School") is kept too.
• The feed URL is fixed (no user-supplied URL), and the response is capped at 8 MiB.

FAQ

• Is this the official GETS service? No. It is an independent tool that reads GETS's public RSS feed.
• Can I get the tender documents? No. Use the url and register on GETS.
• Contacts? Purchaser emails and phone numbers are removed, as GETS republication terms require.

Public records notice

• Data is as published in the GETS open-tenders RSS feed. It may lag GETS or miss changes, such as notices, addenda, extended close dates or cancellations. Check the tender on GETS (the url field) before you bid or rely on a date.
• Corrections go to the purchasing agency named in the tender, or to GETS/MBIE, not to this Actor.
• Use any personal information in the results lawfully, including under the Privacy Act 2020 and, for marketing contact, the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.
