What does AskTender do?

AskTender is an AI tool that lets you ask questions about Australian government tenders in plain English, just like you would to a colleague. It tracks over $211 billion in annual government contracts across all nine federal, state, and territory jurisdictions — AusTender, buy.nsw, QTenders, and more — and also pulls years of award history so you can see who won what and for how much. You can type a question directly on the site without any setup or signup, and it will answer using live data.

The tool works by aggregating every official government procurement portal into one feed, with new tenders hitting the system in under 15 minutes of publication. That's a big improvement over the old email alert services that batch things up overnight. You can ask things like 'Who won the last IT services contracts?' or 'Which buyers keep using the same supplier?' and get an answer with actual numbers. The AI is the real thing — no dashboards to learn. If you later want to use it inside ChatGPT or Claude, there are simple setup guides to plug it in.

AskTender is built for anyone who bids on government work: bid teams, consultants, small business owners. Instead of spending hours searching portals or paying thousands for legacy alert services, you can quickly figure out whether a tender is worth your time. The pricing is straightforward — 500 free requests to start, then $299/month flat for unlimited use across all jurisdictions, with no surprise paywalls. It's a practical tool that does exactly what it says, without the marketing fluff.
