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 the guide before creating a beta account. Account creation has no charge.

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.

  • closing soon
  • 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.

Questions

Tender close dates and deadlines: common questions

Which time zone does TenderAxis use for displayed dates?

Dates are presented for the Australian operating context, including Australia/Sydney where configured. The official notice remains authoritative for the exact closing time and zone.

Can a tender close date change?

Yes. An addendum can extend or amend a deadline. Check the official source immediately before planning or lodging a response.
