The Australian Government purchases a wide range of goods and services for delivery right across Australia, including regional and remote areas. This offers businesses of all sizes and industries the potential to participate and grow their business.
The Australian Government is a large potential client. From advertising to cleaning services, engineering, office equipment, training, project management, research, and recruitment — Australian Government organisations purchase a wide variety of goods and services from the private sector. Each Australian Government organisation has its own needs and makes its own purchases to meet its requirements.
The easiest way to find out what goods and services the Australian Government buys is to check available and upcoming business opportunities via AusTender Business Opportunities.
Australian Government buyers from relevant entities advertise publicly available business opportunities on AusTender. Details of contracts with Australian Government organisations valued at $10,000 or more are also published on AusTender (AusTender Contracts and Amendments).
Further information on how to use AusTender is available in the Frequently Asked Questions – Using AusTender section of this website, and on the AusTender Help and Information Centre.
