Tenders ACT · Live feed
Tenders ACT, live inside ChatGPT and Claude
Tenders ACT is the ACT Government's official tender portal — but Canberra suppliers rarely stop there, because the biggest buyer in town is the federal government on AusTender. AskTender streams both into ChatGPT and Claude, in one feed.

Frequently asked questions
Where are ACT government tenders advertised?+
ACT Government tenders are published on Tenders ACT (tenders.act.gov.au). Federal opportunities — a huge market for Canberra suppliers — are on AusTender. AskTender merges both, plus the other seven jurisdictions, into one feed inside ChatGPT and Claude.
Should Canberra businesses watch AusTender too?+
Almost certainly yes — the federal government is the largest buyer in the ACT, and AusTender opportunities are in the same AskTender feed as Tenders ACT. Canberra suppliers get both without checking either portal.
How fast do ACT tenders appear?+
New ACT tenders typically reach your AI within 15 minutes of being published on Tenders ACT — same-day awareness instead of next-day digests.
Are ACT tenders open to interstate suppliers?+
Generally yes — most ACT Government tenders are open to any capable Australian supplier, though some may weight local presence in evaluation. Each RFT states its own eligibility rules, which your AI can summarise from the tender documents.
