Tender READY Kickstart Program

A six-week guided program to take your business from not knowing where to start, to building a practical pathway and making tangible progress towards becoming ready for government opportunities.

Government spends $240 billion every year on contracts with Australian businesses. Everything from trades and building services, to cleaning, landscaping, tech services, consultancy, catering, the list goes on and on.

It's highly likely that government is already buy what your business provides, and your business could be supplying.

But where do you start?

Which government markets should you target? Where are opportunities advertised? Which registrations matter? What documents will buyers expect—and what should you work on first?

The Tender READY Kickstart turns that confusion into a practical plan, with support that delivers tangible progress.

Over six weeks, you will define your government offer, select your priority markets, complete relevant supplier registrations, assess your readiness and create a realistic 90-day implementation roadmap.

Everything you need to know to begin targeting government as a client for your small business.

The problem is not always capability—it is knowing where to begin

What you will achieve

By the end of the program, you will have:

Defined a clear government offer
Prioritised your most relevant government markets

Completed priority registrations and established opportunity alerts
Assessed your current tender readiness
Identified your most important compliance and capability gaps
Organised evidence of your previous experience

You will leave with a clear direction—not another overwhelming list of information.
