Platform award
Platform award is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. Awarded government civil contracts, from AusTender and state sources. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.
