Use this guide when you need to:

Choose the government tender markets you can service
Use saved searches for repeat checks
Verify before acting

Step 1

Choose the government tender markets you can service

Australian suppliers often need to check federal, state, territory, and selected local sources. The practical task is not just finding one portal. It is building a repeatable way to review notices that match your market.

choose the jurisdictions you can service
track categories your business can deliver
save buyer names that appear often

Step 2

Use saved searches for repeat checks

Manual portal checks become unreliable when the same keywords need to be run across several sources. Saved searches turn those checks into a review queue.

start with a narrow category
add buyer and jurisdiction filters
review new matches before older results

Step 3

Verify before acting

Use TenderAxis to find and prioritize tenders. Before you act on a deadline, addendum, document, or lodgement instruction, open the official source notice.

check the close date
review documents at the source
confirm lodgement requirements

Trust boundary

Use guides to plan the review, then check the source

TenderAxis helps suppliers find and prioritize opportunities. The official source notice remains the reference for documents, dates, addenda, eligibility, and lodgement rules.
