Find the tenders your business can actually bid for
The problem
The response window starts when the tender is released, not when you find it. A week spent discovering an opportunity is a week removed from preparing for it, and the median window is shorter than most bidders assume.
Portals are per-jurisdiction, so searching them one at a time means either missing work or spending a morning a week on it. Keyword alerts return everything carrying the word and nothing that needed judgement.
How Stipple helps
Search open federal, state, council, university and health opportunities across Australia and New Zealand in one place, free and without an account. Filter by jurisdiction and tier, read any listing, and save a search as a free weekly email alert.
Or paste your company website: it is read once into a capability profile you can check before you see results, then open opportunities are scored against it, with the reasoning attached and the gaps named — what a tender wants that your site never mentioned.
The call
curl "https://www.stipple.sh/v1/tenders?jurisdiction=AU-VIC&tier=council&limit=5"
# -> { "total": 41, "limit": 5, "offset": 0, "coverage": {...},
# "results": [ { "id": 1313, "title": "...", "buyer": "...",
# "closing_date": "2026-09-09", "tier": "council" } ] }Find the work in one search instead of six portals, and start the response window on day one rather than day eight.
What the result looks like
A fit score is relative ranking within your own results. It is not a probability of winning, and no tool can give you one.
Coverage is reported: the response names how many sources were searched and which returned nothing, so an empty result is distinguishable from an unsearched one.
Browsing the corpus and saving an alert are free. The capability match reads your website and scores a shortlist, so it needs a signed-in account.
Questions
- Which tender sources are covered?
- Federal, state, council, university and health procurement across Australia and New Zealand. The full registry, what each source allows and when it last ran, is published at /v1/tenders/sources — including the sources behind login walls we do not scrape and the ones whose robots.txt refuses us.
- Does a high score mean I will win?
- No. The score is how well a tender fits the capabilities read from your website, relative to the other results you got. Award outcomes depend on price, incumbency, evaluation panels and factors no external tool observes.
