States and territories

What we hold for each state and territory, and where it comes from. The full source list is on Data sources.

Coverage is not the same shape in every jurisdiction. New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory each have open tenders, forward plans and awards; New South Wales alone publishes standing schemes; Western Australia's awards are Tenders WA's open-data files (July 2021 to June 2024) plus newer awards from the live Tenders WA register, with July 2024 onwards still being back-filled; Queensland's are its agencies' own contract disclosure; the Australian Capital Territory's are its live Contracts Register plus its 2000-2017 registers under CC BY. The Australian Capital Territory is still the one jurisdiction that is different in kind: it ALSO publishes the invoices it has paid, which live under ACT payments and are never counted as one of its awards. Victoria and South Australia are Buying for Victoria and SA Tenders and Contracts, used with each publisher's written permission.

The Northern Territory's tenders, forward plans and awards all come from Quotations and Tenders Online, the Territory's tender site and the only NT award register there is. Its awards are awarded tenders and quotes from November 2010, one row per awarded supplier, with no contract term, no GST flag and no count of offers received. An NT value is worth reading as an estimate: the Territory is the one publisher here that states an amount against each awarded supplier, an award's value is the sum of them, and many of those amounts are schedules of rates rather than agreed prices.

Tasmania's current tenders, future opportunities and contracts come from Tasmanian Government Tenders, refreshed daily; its contracts publish no supplier ABN and do not say whether GST is included.
