ProofPrice

What did public buyers in Australia pay for catering around Defence?

Government contract prices in Australia, from Australian Government. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

Contract prices, as published by the official source.

ProofPrice reads Australian Government when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.

Where this comes from

Source
AusTender: Australian Government contract notices, published by Australian Government, Department of Finance (AusTender)
Licence
Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia (CC BY 3.0 AU)
Attribution
Source: Australian Government, Department of Finance, AusTender (api.tenders.gov.au), CC BY 3.0 AU. Figures are ProofPrice aggregates of the published contract notices.
How fresh the source is
Continuous: buyers publish award notices after a contract is awarded
Limits
Federal agencies only (not states, councils or most defence-in-confidence contracts). The value is the agreed amount over the whole contract period, often several years, and may include options; it is not a unit price and not an amount paid yet. Only the newest 21 days of notices are read per request, up to 3 pages of 100 per day, so a busy day is a sample. Search is by UNSPSC code or words in the description. Aggregates only; suppliers and staff are never named.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
