If you want to look for not for profit or private/public company tenders, you are going to have to hustle. They are not bound by any legislation to publicly advertise their opportunities, so the only way to break into them is through good old-fashioned new business development. Research the person to speak to, get an introduction / call them up, make an appointment, find out their needs etc etc.
But let’s be honest…just because there's an opportunity, you learn about it, and you put a bid in, there's no guarantees of success.
Most businesses miss out, not because they aren’t qualified, but because they:
- Submit cookie-cutter bids,
- Miss critical compliance details,
- Or don’t understand how tenders are really evaluated.
If you’ve lost tenders to “better-prepared” rivals or for reasons unknown, you’re not alone. Many WA-based suppliers are operating reactively by pulling together bids at the last minute, under pressure, with no strategy behind the submission.
What actually works:
- Positioning before the tender is released,
- Strategic go/no-go filtering,
- Clear, direct answers that map to evaluation criteria (not "blah blah aren't we good"),
- And strong local presence that de-risks your offer for buyers.
Most WA agencies also publish procurement plans and contract expiry timelines which is perfect if you want to plan your BD cycle 12–18 months in advance.
