AusTender Contract Notices Scraper

What does AusTender Contract Notices Scraper do?

It returns Australian Government contract notices published on AusTender: the contract ID, description, buying agency, supplier, ABN, value in AUD, start and end dates, procurement method and UNSPSC category code. Filter by date window, keyword, agency, supplier, minimum value and procurement method so each run stays small. Pricing is per result.

Data source

Records come from the official AusTender OCDS API (api.tenders.gov.au) run by the Department of Finance, which is public and updated as agencies report contracts.

Why use it?

• Sales and bid teams: find who won what, for how much, and when the contract ends, so you know when to approach the agency.
• Competitor and supplier research: list every notice for a supplier name or ABN.
• Market sizing: total spend by agency, category (UNSPSC) or procurement method.
• It replaces manual searching on tenders.gov.au and one off CSV exports.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor and set the filters.
2. Click Start. Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.
3. Add a Schedule and an Integration (Slack, Google Sheets, webhook) to get new records automatically.

Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee when a run starts, then a fixed price per result returned. You only pay for records that pass your filters. Set maxResults to cap any run.

Limitations

• Covers published contract notices only. Open approaches to market and standing offer (SON) listings are not included.
• The API publishes contract data as agencies report it, so notices can appear days after signing.
• Filters on agency, supplier, keyword, value and method are applied after download, so a narrow filter over a long date range reads many records.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads data the Australian Government publishes openly through its public API and stores only business information published for that purpose. You are responsible for how you use the data.
