The purpose of the rig is to expand lighting capability for a wide variety of future exhibition installations in the space. This will include improved lighting for items anywhere on the on the gallery floor as well as suspended in the large void above. The rig will enable the creation of dynamic lighting, projection, and visual effects particularly overhead in the tall gallery void. Together with existing hanging points, the rig will provide the ability to suspend large objects in the void ranging from sculptural artwork pieces to fabrics, scrims or string curtains for large scale projection effects.\nQuestacon has developed a rig concept that features a 12m diameter box truss ring called the Halo - see concept drawings. This truss will require new suspension points from the existing structural steel work above the Gallery 8 ceiling. The Halo will be able to be raised or lowered to adjust the display height for a particular exhibition as well as allow for installation, cleaning, and maintenance from the gallery floor. The truss is to be black to disappear into the dark void and the suspension cables should be visually minimal. Winches, motors and other equipment will be hidden above the gallery ceiling while a control interface should be provided in an accessible location from the gallery floor whilst not adding any visual clutter to the exhibition space. The truss will need power for lighting and projection equipment, lighting and projection protocols, as well as data. A reticulation system above the gallery ceiling is required for minimal and discrete power and data cable management.\nAn 8.5 metre diameter black circular box truss, is also envisioned for the space, suspended from existing cleats or pulley cleats. This will provide multiple customisable rigging points for objects suspended in the space, sail tracking around the perimeter to hang scrims or string curtains, and can also carry lighting and projectors on droppers or risers. This truss will be raised and lowered independently of the Halo, and will need its own power and data cable system, as well as a control system.

## API reference-derived contract

The following capability contract is generated from the same normalized Alexandria API reference exposed in the API spec.

### Atm detail

- Capability: `public-tenders/atm_detail`
- Description: One ATM notice in full from its /Atm/Show or /Advert/Show page: ids, agency, UNSPSC category code and name, closing and publish dates (ACT local and UTC), locations, ATM type, multi-agency/panel/multi-stage flags, description, other instructions, conditions for participation, timeframe for delivery, address for lodgement, contact officer, the login-only documents URL, and a derived `briefing_mentioned` flag with the sentences that mention a briefing.
- Instructions: Pass `guid` or `url` from an atm_search row, or an `atm_id` such as `NS1333` (resolved through the list's id filter, so only open ATMs resolve by id; closed ones need their GUID). Closed notices redirect to /Atm/ShowClosed/{guid} and come back with `status: closed`. Briefing requirements are free text in the instructions/conditions fields; `briefing_mentioned` and `briefing_excerpts` flag them, they do not structure them. An unknown id or GUID is not_found.
- Cost: 5 credits per call
- Capability file: [Atm detail](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/tenders-gov-au/public-tenders/atm_detail)

Accepted options:
- `atm_id` (string): Agency ATM id as shown on the site, e.g. `NS1333` or `RFT-2026-001`. Example: `NS1333`
- `guid` (string): Notice GUID from an atm_search row (the /Atm/Show/{guid} path segment). Pattern: ^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$. Example: `<guid>`

### Atm search

- Capability: `public-tenders/atm_search`
- Description: List approaches to market (ATMs) on AusTender's Current ATM List, optionally filtered by keyword, 15 per page. Each row carries the ATM id, title, agency, UNSPSC category name, closing time as shown (ACT local time) and converted to UTC, a description snippet, last-updated time, the notice GUID and its detail URL.
- Instructions: Start here to find open procurement opportunities by keyword (e.g. `cleaning`); pass a row's `guid` or `atm_id` to atm_detail for the full notice, contact officer and briefing instructions. Only currently open ATMs are listed (closed ATMs are not exposed by the list); zero rows is a normal answer since only ~100 ATMs are open at any time.
- Cost: 5 credits per call
- Capability file: [Atm search](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/tenders-gov-au/public-tenders/atm_search)

Accepted options:

- `page` (number): 1-based page of 15 rows; `next_page` in the output gives the next one. Example: `1`
- `sort` (string): Sort order, mapped to the site's `OrderBy` options. Default: closing soonest first. Example: `close_date_asc`

### Contracts by date

- Capability: `public-tenders/contracts_by_date`
- Description: Commonwealth contract notices (CNs) from AusTender's public OCDS API for a UTC date window, selected by publication, last-modification, contract start or contract end date. One record per contract: CN id, title, description, agency (buyer) with ABN, supplier with ABN and address, UNSPSC codes, AUD value, signing and period dates, procurement method and limited-tender details, plus the OCDS ids.
- Instructions: Use for 'what was published/started/ends between X and Y'. The API pages 100 releases at a time behind an opaque cursor; `limit` trims a page and the continuation cursor resumes exactly where the previous call stopped. Dates must be full UTC timestamps `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ`. An empty window is a normal empty result; a reversed or malformed window is invalid_input.
- Cost: 5 credits per call
- Capability file: [Contracts by date](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/tenders-gov-au/public-tenders/contracts_by_date)

Accepted options:
- `cursor` (string): Opaque continuation from a previous call's `next_cursor`. Pattern: ^[0-9]{1,3}@[A-Za-z0-9._=-]*$. Example: `next_cursor`
- `date_type` (string): Which contract date the window applies to (the API's DateType path segment). Example: `contractPublished`
- `from` (string, required): Window start, inclusive, UTC, e.g. `2026-09-28T00:00:00Z`. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}Z$. Example: `2026-09-28T00:00:00Z`
- `limit` (number): Maximum contract records to return in this call (the API page holds up to 100 releases). Example: `100`
- `to` (string, required): Window end, UTC; must be after `from`. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}Z$. Example: `<to>`
