Government Contracting Duo: Get Registered + Starter in 1

Stop guessing where to start with government work

Government contracts can be a serious opportunity for Australian small businesses.

But getting started can feel confusing.

You might be wondering:

• Where do I register?
• Which tender portals should I be watching?
• How do I get tender alerts?
• What documents should I prepare?
• How do I know if an opportunity is worth bidding for?
• What are evaluators actually looking for?

That’s where most small businesses get stuck.

They spend weeks Googling, saving links, downloading tender documents and trying to work out what matters.

The Government Contracting Duo gives you a clearer starting point.

It brings together two practical resources:

1. Get Registered
2. The Government Contracting Starter

Together, they help you get visible, get organised and start approaching government opportunities with more confidence.

What this helps you do

This Duo is designed to help you move from:

“I want government work, but I don’t know where to start.”

to:

“I know where to register, where to look, what to prepare and how to approach my first opportunities.”

You don’t need to become a procurement expert before you start.

You need to understand the first steps, set up the right systems and learn how government buyers assess suppliers.

Inside the Duo

1. Get Registered

This is your practical setup guide for getting your business visible in the government market.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify the government buyers most relevant to your business
• Set up key supplier profiles and registrations
• Connect to AusTender, your state or territory tender platform and local government opportunities
• Turn on email notifications for relevant tenders
• Create one simple place to track your portals and registrations
• Follow a 4-week action plan to move from registered to more bid-ready

Instead of spending weeks searching “how do I get government contracts?”, you’ll have a clear starting point.

2. The Government Contracting Starter Guide

Once you’re registered, this guide helps you understand how to approach opportunities properly.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand how government procurement works
• Decide whether a tender is worth bidding for
• Understand how tenders are assessed
• Write clearer, more relevant tender responses
• Show evidence of your capability
• Position your business as a credible supplier
• Think about pricing as part of your value, not just as the cheapest number
• Use clarification questions properly
• Complete a final pre-submission review before you submit

It also includes a First 7 Days Action Checklist to help you start taking action instead of just reading about tendering.

Why this matters

A lot of small businesses wait until they find a tender before they get organised.

That usually creates pressure.

You’re trying to register on portals, understand the documents, gather evidence, write responses and meet the deadline all at once.

The better approach is to get prepared before the right opportunity appears.

This Duo helps you start building that foundation now.

This is for you if:

• You’re an Australian small business or contractor interested in government work
• You don’t know where to register or where tenders are published
• You want relevant opportunities sent to your inbox
• You’ve never submitted a government tender before
• You find tender documents confusing or overwhelming
• You’re not sure what evaluators look for
• You want a practical starting point without reading long procurement manuals
• You want to stop guessing and start taking clear steps
