Delivered

Dear Tasmanian Department of Treasury and Finance,

I would like a copy of the awarded contracts database searchable at tenders.tas.gov.au, specifically in a structured machine readable format. I am happy to discuss an appropriate format, but my preference would be a sqlite file or sql dump.

I would like that database to contain all information publicly visible in the awarded contract detail view (e.g. https://www.tenders.tas.gov.au/ContractA...) across all awarded contracts contained in that system. Aside from the format being structured, I am happy to accept whatever format minimizes the work required (including, for example, by receiving this as multiple files, each containing a single table, with foreign key relations between them).

I am happy to discuss limiting this request if appropriate, for example by eliding the enquiries contacts fields. If you have other questions or concerns, I am happy to discuss them by email.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Cordover
