Why it matters
The old way: 40 hours on a bid you were never going to win.

- ✓Every jurisdiction, one place. Federal + all 8 states and territories, normalised into a single live feed.
- ✓Minutes, not mornings. New tenders reach your AI in under 15 minutes of being published.
- ✓Years of award history. Who won, at what price, from which agency — the intel that shapes winning bids.
- ✓No new software to learn. It lives inside ChatGPT and Claude — tools your team already uses daily.

Questions, answered.
Do I need to be technical to use this?+
No. If you can use ChatGPT, you can use AskTender. Setup is a copy-paste job with a step-by-step guide — or forward the email to whoever runs your tech and they'll have it done before their coffee cools.
What counts as a request?+
Each time your AI fetches tender data — a search, a tender's details, an award history lookup. A typical daily-use team makes 30–60 requests a day. Your first 25 are free, so you can put it through its paces on real tenders before paying a cent.
Which AI assistants does it work with?+
Ask it right here on AskTender — no setup at all. Or plug it into ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and most other AI tools whenever you're ready. Developers can call it directly too.
How fresh is the data?+
New tenders typically reach your AI within 15 minutes of being published on the source portal. Legacy alert services batch theirs into next-morning emails — that gap is your head start.
Can I resell the data or build a product on top of it?+
The standard plan covers internal business use — your team, your AI assistants, your systems. Redistribution, resale, white-labelling, or powering a customer-facing product needs an enterprise licence, which also unlocks higher volume, bulk exports and custom feeds. Talk to us — we're quick.
What if my team needs more than the fair-use limit?+
10,000 requests a month is roughly 10× what a heavy-use bid team gets through, so most customers never think about it. If you're running automated pipelines, multiple agents, or a consultancy serving many clients, tell us what you're building and we'll set you up properly.
Is the data licensed properly?+
Yes. We aggregate official government procurement portals and every record links back to its original source listing with full attribution.
