Example alert. Real alerts link straight to the tender documents.

Tenders are there. Finding and winning them is the hard part.

Hundreds of construction and maintenance tenders are published on eTenders every month. Most small contractors only see a fraction of them.

01

Too many to search

Checking eTenders, municipal sites and SOE portals every day takes hours you'd rather spend on site.

02

Lost on paperwork

Many bids are disqualified for a missing SBD form, an unsigned page or an expired certificate, not on price.

03

Low functionality scores

A weak method statement or programme can knock you out before your price is even looked at.

How it works

Simple, and built around how contractors actually work.

Questions

Where do the tenders come from?

We monitor the National Treasury eTenders portal, where national and provincial departments, municipalities and state-owned entities publish their tenders, and filter them for your trade every day.

Do you guarantee that I'll win?

No one can honestly promise that. Tenders are scored on price, B-BBEE and often functionality. What we do is make sure your bid is complete and compliant, and as strong as it can be, so you're competing on your price and experience instead of losing on paperwork.

What do I need to bid on government tenders?

Usually a CSD (Central Supplier Database) registration, a valid SARS tax compliance status, a B-BBEE certificate or affidavit and, for construction, a CIDB grading. If you're missing any of these, our Compliance Setup gets you sorted.

How do I pay?

Alerts are billed monthly after your free trial. For bid preparation we ask a 50% deposit upfront and the balance before submission. Payment never depends on the outcome.

Can I stop the alerts?

Yes, any time. Just reply "stop" to any alert email and you won't be billed again.
