I first wrote this blog waaayyyy back in January 2017. A lot has changed since then — we’ve experienced a pandemic that caused loads of people to lose their jobs and many businesses to close, bushfires have been raging across the globe — and Donald Trump came and went.
And the tendering world has changed dramatically (but not because of Donald Trump!)

Paid Websites
There are also paid websites such as Tenderlink. They list tender opportunities for an annual subscription, and if you are a member, you can get a regular feed of tenders that may be relevant. Some local councils and Government Departments still post opportunities through Tenderlink, but you can also access them for free by visiting the Council website and searching for current tenders. You’ll then get a link to the relevant place on the Tenderlink website where you can register for free, but you won’t get updates for new tender opportunities.
