Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about FastTender and getting started with government contracting.
What is FastTender?
FastTender is an AI platform that brings every Australian Government tender into one place, scores each against your company, and helps you win the ones you can actually win.
Where does the opportunity data come from?
Opportunities come from AusTender, the Australian Government's official source for contract approaches to market, supplemented with award and market data.
Do I need to be registered in AusTender to use FastTender?
You can browse opportunities and use our free tools without registering. To actually bid on and win contracts, you'll need an active AusTender registration - see our free AusTender registration checklist.
Is FastTender only for large companies?
No. FastTender is built for government suppliers of all sizes, with procurement policy filtering and tools that are especially valuable for small businesses.
How is an opportunity 'scored'?
Each opportunity is evaluated against your company profile - capabilities, UNSPSC codes, past performance, and procurement policy eligibility - to produce a pursue/pass recommendation with reasoning.
Is there a free version?
Yes. You can browse all opportunities, use the directories, and use the free tools at no cost. Paid plans add AI scoring, early-signal leads, and capture tools.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes - higher tiers support multiple users, workspaces, roles, and approval workflows for teams and primes.
