What it does.
CanadaBuys publishes the federal government's tender and award notices as open data files that are updated once a day, and AusTender publishes Australian Government contract notices through an open OCDS API. This tool reads both and returns the notices newest first in one dataset with the same fields. Australia is covered with contract notices of 10 000 AUD or more, which are awards: open tenders on tenders.gov.au are only shown as web pages, and there is no open dataset with a licence for reuse.
Filter by country, keywords, UNSPSC or GSIN codes, stage, minimum value and publication date, at most 31 days per run. A run with empty input returns the 50 newest notices from both countries in the last seven days. The sample below is open Canadian tenders from the first run of a daily alert on 4 October 2026, which returned 128 notices.

The Canadian data comes from the CanadaBuys open data files that Public Services and Procurement Canada publishes on the Open Government Portal: tender notices and award notices. The Australian data comes from the AusTender OCDS API of the Department of Finance, which needs no key. Contact names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers are never read. The tool is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of Canada or the Australian Government.
CanadaBuys data is published under the Open Government Licence - Canada, with the attribution "Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence - Canada". Every AusTender API response states CC BY 3.0 AU; attribute it as "Source: AusTender, Department of Finance, licensed under CC BY 3.0 AU". Both allow commercial reuse with attribution, and every row carries source and license for that purpose.
