Contracts awarded by Transport and Main Roads, Queensland, current financial year
liveThe contract disclosure report of the Department of Transport and Main Roads for the newest financial year, one row per contract, with the reference, category, parent arrangement, description, award date, value, supplier ABN, name and postcode, variation, confidentiality, procurement method, limited tender reason and the fields required for contracts over $500,000.
Also called: TMR contract disclosure, Queensland transport contracts awarded, TMR suppliers and contract values.
Part of Contract disclosure reports, Queensland Government agencies, 4 tables the publisher releases together: Contracts awarded by eHealth Queensland, current financial year, Contracts awarded by the Department of Primary Industries, Queensland, from July 2025, Contracts awarded by QLeave, Queensland, 2025-26.
- What is in each row?
- One contract the Department of Transport and Main Roads awarded or varied, with its reference, description, award date, value, supplier name, ABN and postcode, whether it was varied, the procurement method and the extra fields for large contracts. The supplier ABN is blank in almost every row.
- Why do some award dates fall years before the report's financial year?
- Those rows are marked as varied. The report lists older contracts that the department varied during the year under their original award date.
- What is a contract disclosure report?
- Queensland Government agencies must publish details of each contract they award worth $10,000 or more, including GST. Contracts over $500,000 carry extra fields such as the form of contract, evaluation criteria and deliverables, so those columns are blank for smaller contracts.
- Which year does it cover?
- The newest financial year file the department has published, 2026-27 in the first version here. The department adds a file each year and updates it during the year, and this table follows the newest.

Use it in Excel, R, Python and more
Excel and Power BI read the CSV from its address and refresh from it. The R and Python packages take any dataset on this site by its slug, so a new dataset needs no new release. The DuckDB file attaches read-only over HTTPS, and a query reads only the blocks it touches.
The dated URL in the code never changes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-tmr-contract-disclosure/latest/ redirects to the newest version.
https://publicdata.au/d/qld-tmr-contract-disclosure/latest/data.csvIn Excel choose Data, then From Web, and paste this address. Excel keeps it, so Refresh All reads the newest version. A sheet holds about a million rows; past that, load the query to the Data Model.
https://publicdata.au/d/qld-tmr-contract-disclosure/latest/data.csvIn Power BI Desktop choose Get data, then Web, paste this address and choose Anonymous when asked how to sign in. A scheduled refresh reads the same address, so the report follows each new version.

Query it without downloading
The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Build a query here and run it, then copy the URL or the code into your own work.
How filters work
Each filter is field=operator.value in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with ilike. Prefix not. to negate a filter, as not.eq.value.
| Operator | What it matches |
|---|---|
| eq.value | Equal to the value. |
| neq.value | Not equal to the value. A blank cell does not match. |
| gt.value | Greater than the value. |
| gte.value | Greater than or equal to the value. |
| lt.value | Less than the value. |
| lte.value | Less than or equal to the value. |
| like.*text* | Matches a pattern where * stands for any run of characters. Case-sensitive. |
| ilike.*text* | The same as like, ignoring case. |
| in.(a,b,c) | Equal to any value in the list. A value cannot contain a comma. |
| is.null | Blank in the source, or suppressed by the publisher. |
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| select | Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. |
| order | field.asc or field.desc, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. |
| limit | Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. |
| offset | Rows to skip. The next URL in each answer sets it for you. |
| group | On aggregate, fields to group by, comma-separated. |
| metric | On aggregate, count, sum.field, avg.field, min.field or max.field, comma-separated. count when absent. |
| format | json, ndjson or csv. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. |
Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put versions/<date>/ before rows or aggregate for an answer that never changes. /api/v1/datasets/<slug>/versions lists the loaded versions. The 1 newest version is loaded; versions lists them.
The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a Retry-After header, a RateLimit-Policy header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same RateLimit-Policy. A client should wait the Retry-After seconds, or read the files, which have no limit. openapi.json describes this dataset's query paths for client generators and agents.
https://publicdata.au/mcp is a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP with the same tools, defined in the same place, so a tool added to the pages is added here too. It needs no key and no account. The row tools are held to the query API's limit of 60 queries in 10 seconds from one address, and each call is two queries because it also counts the matching rows. Add it to Claude Code with claude mcp add --transport http publicdata https://publicdata.au/mcp, add the URL in Claude as a custom connector, or give it to any client that connects to remote MCP servers. Each queryable dataset is also a resource at https://publicdata.au/d/<slug>/fields.json, which lists its fields with their types, the publisher's descriptions, their ranges and the values they hold, so an agent can read a dataset's shape before it writes a query.
