Government tender and pipeline sources
Beyond AusTender, Demiton reads the state, territory and national tender and infrastructure-pipeline sources that have no page of their own. Each source is its own system type and its own read-only adapter. All are public; no credentials are required.
They land in two public registers: active tender opportunities in platform_tender, and forward procurement pipelines in platform_planning.
Authentication: None - public portals and publications
System types: NSW_ETENDER · VIC_TENDERS · WA_TENDERS · SA_TENDERS · TAS_TENDERS · VENDOR_PANEL · TENDERLINK · WESTERN_POWER · QLD_FPP · NSW_INFRA_PIPELINE · ANZIP · AER_DETERMINATIONS

Tenders WA (tenders.wa.gov.au) | WA_TENDERS | Active tender notices from the WA Tenders application | platform_tender |
SA Tenders (tenders.sa.gov.au) | SA_TENDERS | Active tender notices from the TenderSearch portal | platform_tender |
Tasmanian Government Tenders (tenders.tas.gov.au) | TAS_TENDERS | Open-for-bids tender list | platform_tender |

Western Power (westernpower.com.au) | WESTERN_POWER | Supplier tenders from the WA transmission and distribution network operator | platform_tender |
Pipeline and planning sources
Section titled “Pipeline and planning sources”| Source | System type | What it reads | Register |
|---|---|---|---|
Queensland Forward Procurement Pipeline (data.qld.gov.au) | QLD_FPP | Queensland works-to-tender planning notices | platform_planning |
NSW Infrastructure Pipeline (infrastructure.nsw.gov.au) | NSW_INFRA_PIPELINE | The forward infrastructure programme across transport, health, education, social housing and justice | platform_planning |
ANZIP (infrastructurepipeline.org) | ANZIP | Energy infrastructure projects - wind, solar, battery storage, transmission and hydro | platform_planning |
AER Revenue Determinations (aer.gov.au) | AER_DETERMINATIONS | Five-year regulatory capex envelopes per distribution and transmission network | platform_planning |
Integration model
Section titled “Integration model”Each source on this page is a platform-owned, read-only adapter resolved by its own system type, and there are no tenant credentials to configure. The platform binds each adapter to platform_tender or platform_planning through PlatformShelfBinding (packages/api/app/shelves/models.py), which pairs the system type and register with the resource that adapter serves.
How the sources differ
Section titled “How the sources differ”NSW eTendering is the only source here that fills both registers: it serves tender, planning and standing-offer resources from the same public API. The adapter notes the portal is IP-rate-limited and should be harvested on a daily cadence.
VIC and SA run the TenderSearch platform; WA runs its own Tenders application. TAS is an ASP.NET open-for-bids list. Western Power and ANZIP are read from their published pages, and Tenderlink is read through its embedded search API across three target categories.
SA Tenders is blocked at source. Since 2026-09-01 the SA open-tender search redirects an anonymous client to a login wall, so the adapter fails loudly on every run. That is a registration decision rather than a parser bug; until access is arranged, SA contributes no records.
AER determinations are a seed registry, not a scrape. Regulatory determinations change once per five-year period, so the adapter carries a hard-coded registry rather than reading aer.gov.au live.
Connection setup
Section titled “Connection setup”No credentials are required or stored for any source on this page. Each connector is platform-managed and enabled centrally, so there is nothing for a customer to configure.
Security
Section titled “Security”Access type: Read-only (public data)
Every source on this page is publicly accessible. No credentials are required or stored. Tender and planning facts are gated in Demiton and filtered from the unauthenticated public market endpoint at read time.
