Straddie Tenders Lab

A standalone public research workbench for North Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah government tenders, procurement pathways and bid readiness.

This sits beside the Stradbroke Grants Lab. Grants are funding programs. Tenders are buying processes: government is asking a capable business, organisation or delivery team to provide goods, services, works, advice or capability.

Hero Images

Each main page has a unique AI-generated cinematic hero image in assets/heroes/.

The production images are WebP files in two sizes:

• hero-name.webp: desktop image, 1600 x 900.
• hero-name-sm.webp: smaller image, 960 x 540.

The original generated PNGs remain in Codex's generated image folder and are not committed here.

Validation

Run:

python tools/validate_data.py

The validation checks required JSON fields, local links and hero assets.

Weekly Tender Search

Use profiles/templates/weekly-tender-search-agent.md as the agent brief for a weekly refresh. The refresh should update data/tender-keywords.json only when the search strategy changes, and update data/tender-timeline.json with source-backed opportunity records for downstream pipelines.

Public Boundary

This lab is an information and preparation surface, not legal, financial or procurement advice. Every tender should be checked on the live official portal before anyone spends serious time preparing a response.

This workbench does not establish eligibility, partner assent, authority, capability, site control or bid readiness. These must be checked for each tender. It is not an official tender listing or a tender response.
