Tender guide

Use tender close dates to prioritize the review queue

Close dates are one of the fastest ways to decide what needs attention. They should guide review order, not replace source verification.

Use this guide when you need to:

Review closing soon first
Check time zones and source dates
Use deadlines with relevance checks

Step 1

Review closing soon first

Sort saved-search matches so urgent deadlines are visible. This helps you review relevant opportunities before spending time on tenders your business cannot deliver.

new matches
watchlist deadlines

Step 2

Check time zones and source dates

Date handling matters across Australian sources. Use the app to triage, then confirm the official close date and time at the source.

source date
local time
addenda changes

Step 3

Use deadlines with relevance checks

A close date only shows urgency. Review category, buyer, documents, and source requirements before moving a tender forward.

buyer fit
document fit
delivery fit

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.

Can a tender close date change?
