What is AusTender and what is it used for?
AusTender [] is a system which enables agencies to publish Annual Procurement Plans (APPs), advertise business opportunities, make tender documentation available for electronic download and receive tender submissions electronically (depending on their level of access). Agencies also publish on AusTender details of all contracts entered into over the relevant reporting thresholds ($10,000 for FMA agencies; and contracts arising from covered procurements for CAC Act bodies). AusTender [] is managed on behalf of the Australian Government by the Department of Finance and Deregulation. AusTender provides agencies with many benefits, not the least of which is helping agencies to comply with the requirements of the CGPs.
