Selling to the Commonwealth

Understand how the Australian Government buys — and find the work.

One place to learn how Commonwealth procurement actually works, watch live tender and grant opportunities as they open, and ask plain questions of the rules that govern it all.

The rules, in plain English

The Commonwealth Procurement Rules, value thresholds, approach-to-market types and the principles every buyer has to follow — explained without the jargon.

Live opportunities

Current tenders from AusTender, grants from GrantConnect, and ICT opportunities from BuyICT, collected daily and shown as a running register.

Defence procurement

How Defence buys differently — the ASDEFCON suite and the role of the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group.
