Working with government can open steady, high-value work for Australian businesses — reliable contracts, fair payment terms and repeat opportunities. The process can look complex at first, but once you understand each stage — and use the right tools — tendering becomes a structured, achievable path to growth.
This guide walks through the ten essential steps of a government tender journey in Australia and shows how BIDTEK streamlines each one so you can focus on delivering great work, not paperwork.
BIDTEK monitors federal, state and local government tender sites — including AusTender, QTenders, Buying for Victoria, SA Tenders, WA Tenders, VendorPanel and council portals — and automatically aggregates new listings into your dashboard.
Browse all live tenders in one place, filter by category, region or agency, and set real-time alerts. BIDTEK’s AI Tender Matching prioritises the most relevant work for your business profile.
Government buyers look for capability, compliance and confidence. Before bidding, complete your business profile with:
BIDTEK structures this information as you register, so it’s ready to reuse across responses.
Not every tender deserves your time. Check mandatory criteria, delivery timeframes, local presence and your competitive edge.
BIDTEK’s AI Match Score analyses your credentials and past delivery to highlight tenders with the highest probability of success.
Tender packs can be dense — RFT/ITT, Statement of Work, draft contract, pricing schedules and appendices. Missing a single “must” or “shall” can render your bid non-compliant.
BIDTEK’s Auto-Extract scans documents and builds a live compliance checklist, highlighting mandatory items and evidence you’ll need.
Winning tenders are organised tenders. Create a bid plan that covers:
BIDTEK’s Bid Plan Builder tracks responsibilities and progress in real time to keep everyone aligned.
Evaluators prefer clarity, structure and proof. Stick to the evaluation criteria, use short paragraphs and back every claim with facts.
Example: Instead of “We’re highly experienced,” use “We delivered twelve regional road safety upgrades across Victoria since 2022 — all completed on time and within budget.”
BIDTEK’s AI Assist drafts and refines responses in plain language using your verified company data.
Public buyers assess price through a value-for-money lens — not just lowest cost. Be transparent about inclusions, assumptions and delivery efficiency.
BIDTEK provides pricing intelligence from comparable tenders so you can stay competitive without undercutting quality.
Portals like AusTender and state systems can slow down near deadlines. Submit early, confirm file formats and retain the receipt.
BIDTEK’s Submission Tracker syncs with your tender calendar and sends automated reminders to ensure on-time lodgement.
Winning is the start. In the first 30 days, confirm scope, milestones, reporting and governance. Set clear roles and cadence with the client team.
BIDTEK’s Contract Manager tracks KPIs, deliverables and compliance items — keeping you audit-ready from award to completion.
Every submission adds to your competitive intelligence. Request debriefs, record feedback and refine your approach.
BIDTEK automatically builds your Bid Library — storing reusable responses, pricing data and evaluator insights — so each submission is faster and stronger than the last.
