    Australian Government Tenders via AusTender

    AusTender is the Australian Government’s centralized procurement information system, managed by the Department of Finance. It publishes all Commonwealth procurement activities above the reporting threshold. Jorpex monitors AusTender and delivers matching tenders to your Slack workspace.

    What is AusTender?

    AusTender is the official platform for Australian Commonwealth procurement. It publishes Approaches to Market (ATMs), multi-use lists, contract awards, and standing offer notices. All Australian Government entities must report procurement activities above the relevant threshold on AusTender.

    Australia’s procurement thresholds

    The current reporting threshold for non-corporate Commonwealth entities is AUD $80,000. For corporate entities, it is AUD $400,000. All procurements above these thresholds must be published on AusTender, including those conducted under panels, multi-use lists, and standing offers.

    UNSPSC classification

    AusTender uses the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) for classification. This hierarchical system helps categorize goods and services consistently. Jorpex matches against both UNSPSC-tagged data and free-text descriptions in tender notices.

    How Jorpex monitors AusTender

    Jorpex ingests new AusTender publications and applies your keyword, sector, and value-range filters. Matching Australian procurement opportunities arrive in Slack with the title, agency, estimated value, deadline, and direct link. Monitor Australian tenders alongside Asia-Pacific and international sources.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I find Australian government tenders?

    Australian federal government tenders are published on AusTender (tenders.gov.au). All Commonwealth procurement above AUD $80,000 (or $400,000 for corporate entities) must be listed there. Jorpex monitors AusTender automatically and delivers matching opportunities to your Slack channel.

    Is AusTender free to use?

    Yes, AusTender is completely free to search and use. You can view all published Approaches to Market, contract awards, and standing offers at no cost. Jorpex adds automated monitoring and Slack alerts so you can focus on writing proposals instead of checking the portal.

    Can international companies bid on Australian government tenders?

    Yes. Australia is a GPA signatory and has free trade agreements with many countries. International companies can bid on Commonwealth contracts above GPA thresholds. Some contracts may have preferences for Australian and New Zealand suppliers under the ANZCERTA agreement.
