[@OKau] Tenders data no derivatives?????

[Craig Thomler]

Hi Rosie,

Why not contact the team at Tenders.gov.au and ask?

The direct approach is worth trying!

I'd suggest contacting Simon Fisher, Manager, business.gov.au Content &
Services Delivery Team as a first point of contact.

(simon.fisher at business.gov.au)

Rosie, I've sent you his LinkedIn profile as well.

If he's not responsible for the area he'll know who is.

Cheers,

Craig
