Common questions
What types of defence and aerospace tenders does BidShortlist include?
We include federal government defence tenders (available to providers Australia-wide) plus state tenders from Victoria and NSW. This covers engineering services, aerospace equipment, sustainment, logistics, communications, and related technology opportunities.
How is this different from checking AusTender myself?
AusTender only shows federal tenders and has basic keyword alerts. BidShortlist combines federal + VIC + NSW tenders, applies AI relevance scoring, and explains why each tender matches your specific business. You get a curated shortlist instead of wading through hundreds of irrelevant tenders.
Can I filter for specific defence capabilities or services?
Yes. During setup, you can add specific keywords like "engineering", "sustainment", "logistics", "aerospace", "communications", or "systems integration" to target the exact work you want. You can also add exclusion keywords to filter out irrelevant tender types.
I am based in Queensland. Will this work for me?
Yes. Federal tenders are open to providers from any state. However, BidShortlist currently only monitors state tenders from Victoria and NSW. We are actively working to add Queensland and other states.
What does the 60+ relevance score mean?
Our AI scores every tender 0-100 based on how well it matches your keywords, industry, and preferences. Only tenders scoring 60 or above make your shortlist. This ensures you only see opportunities genuinely relevant to your business.
How much does it cost?
We offer two plans: Weekly at $29/month (Monday email) or Daily at $39/month (every morning). Both include the same coverage and features. You can try either plan free for 14 days.
