Getting started
ARKQON aggregates every open tender from every Australian government source into one feed. Sign up for a free account to start watching the market; no card is required.
- Create a free account using your email.
- Verify your email through the magic link we send.
- Browse the feed at /tenders.
- Filter by category and jurisdiction to narrow it down.
- Save the filter as a search to get a digest of new matches.
Saved searches
Saved searches let you receive ongoing notifications when a new tender matches your filters. Free accounts can save up to three searches; Pro is unlimited.
Filter dimensions include category (UNSPSC-aligned), jurisdiction (CWLTH, state, local), value range, close date, set-aside (Indigenous, SME), and clearance level (Baseline, NV1, NV2, Positive Vetting).
Email digests
Each saved search drives a daily digest at 7am AEST by default. Pro accounts can change cadence to real-time, weekly, or off; the digest then arrives the moment a matching tender lands.
AI bidding assistant (Pro)
Open any tender and click Draft a response. The assistant reads the tender brief, reads your capability profile, and produces a starting draft shaped to the buyer. The output is markdown; iterate inside ARKQON until ready.
The assistant runs on Claude Sonnet 4.6 with prompt caching. All drafts are private to your account.
Outbound webhooks (Pro)
Wire ARKQON directly into your CRM, Slack, or bid-management pipeline. Webhooks fire on opportunity events: opportunity.matched, opportunity.updated, opportunity.awarded.
Payloads are signed with HMAC-SHA256. Failed deliveries retry with exponential backoff; persistent failures land in a dead-letter queue you can replay from the admin console.
REST API (Pro)
Query the live catalogue with structured search. Cursor pagination is used throughout; offset pagination is not supported.
