About Donna

Helping tradies, contractors & service businesses win more work — and stay prequalified — without the overwhelm.

​

Based in Canberra — working with businesses Australia-wide — I help small businesses, tradies, and contractors win more tenders, and achieve the certifications and prequalifications that open doors to bigger contracts and long-term growth.

​

Because too many capable businesses miss out — not because they can’t do the work, but because the paperwork, compliance, and process feels overwhelming.

​

Tender Radar was created to change that.

​

Why work with me?

I’m a former Executive Leader in the federal government, a qualified procurement specialist, and an experienced construction and maintenance industry professional — with 20+ years across government, defence, corporate, and private sectors.

​

I understand Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs), PGPA Act, and government and private sector procurement frameworks — and I know exactly what buyers and evaluation panels look for.

​

My background includes:
✅ Major construction project delivery
✅ Subcontractor management on Total Facilities Maintenance contracts
✅ Hands-on work across maintenance, construction, ICT, mining, and transport sectors

 

That means I can help you cut through jargon, meet compliance with confidence, and present your business in a way that resonates with government panels, councils, schools, and corporate buyers.

 

How I can help:

• Tender and bid writing

• ISO certification and compliance documentation

• Prequalification applications

• Capability statements and business profiles

• Plain-English, practical support at every stage

 

Why you’ll see “we” throughout the site:

When you work with Tender Radar, you’ll deal directly with me. I also draw on trusted collaborators — including graphic designers, compliance specialists, and admin support — to ensure your tenders and documents are polished, compliant, and delivered on time.

​

That’s why you’ll see “we” across the website — because when you work with Tender Radar, you’re getting my expertise, supported by the right people to help you win.

 

My goal is simple:
To make paperwork, compliance, and applications accessible and achievable — so you can focus on delivering great work and growing your business.

​

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me 4WDing, hiking, and exploring the mountains with my two teens — because balance is key to success.

​
