How it Works

Where the tender information comes from

Tender opportunities displayed on this platform are sourced from publicly accessible procurement portals and official issuing bodies within South Africa. These sources may include, but are not limited to, national, provincial, and municipal procurement platforms, state-owned entities, public institutions, and private organisations that publish open tender notices.

The information published on this platform is compiled from publicly available notices, announcements, and documents issued by the originating authority. Where possible, key details such as the tender title, industry classification, geographic scope, and closing date are extracted and presented in a structured and easy-to-review format.

To support usability, tenders are categorised by industry and province. This categorisation is intended to help users quickly identify opportunities that may be relevant to their business activities. However, the original tender documentation issued by the authority remains the only official and authoritative source of information.

All tender listings include direct links to the original issuing platform or official documents, allowing users to verify details, access full specifications, and confirm submission requirements directly with the source.

How the information is reviewed and published

Tender information is reviewed prior to publication to ensure that it is presented in a clear and consistent manner. This review focuses on formatting, categorisation, and the removal of obviously incomplete or invalid entries.

While reasonable efforts are made to ensure accuracy at the time of publication, this platform does not modify, reinterpret, or replace the information issued by the originating authority. Changes, amendments, clarifications, or withdrawals issued after publication may not be immediately reflected on this platform.

Users are therefore strongly encouraged to refer to the official tender documents and issuing authority for the most current and complete information before preparing or submitting a bid.

How often the information is updated

Tender listings are updated on a regular basis as new opportunities become available.

To maintain relevance:

• Tender opportunities that have passed their stated closing date are automatically removed or marked as expired

• Listings may be updated to reflect changes in status where such information becomes publicly available

The timing and frequency of updates may vary depending on the source and availability of information. As procurement platforms may publish updates, addenda, or corrigenda at short notice, users should not rely solely on this platform for time-sensitive updates.

Free access and paid access explained

This platform offers both free access and paid access to tender information.

• Free access provides visibility of selected tender opportunities and allows users to explore the platform and assess its relevance to their needs.

• Paid access may provide expanded visibility, additional filtering, or access to a broader range of tender opportunities.

Access level does not influence the content or outcome of any tender process. All tenders listed originate from publicly available sources, and payment does not confer any advantage, preference, or influence over issuing authorities.

What this platform does not provide

It is important to clearly understand the scope and limitations of this platform.

This platform does not:

• Offer legal, financial, technical, or procurement consulting advice

• Guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of tender information

• Guarantee the award of any tender or contract

• Influence, participate in, or have any affiliation with the tender evaluation or adjudication process

The platform functions solely as an information aggregation and organisation tool, designed to assist users in discovering publicly available tender opportunities more efficiently.

User responsibility and due diligence

Users are solely responsible for:

• Reviewing all official tender documents in full

• Confirming closing dates, submission requirements, and eligibility criteria

• Monitoring issuing platforms for amendments, addenda, or clarifications

• Ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and procurement requirements

Submitting a bid without verifying details directly with the issuing authority is done entirely at the user’s own risk.

Independence and non-affiliation

This platform operates independently and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government department, public entity, municipality, or private issuing authority unless explicitly stated.

All trademarks, names, and references remain the property of their respective owners.

Purpose of the platform

The purpose of this platform is to reduce the time and effort required for businesses to identify tender opportunities by consolidating publicly available information into a single, organised view.

It is intended as a supporting resource, not a substitute for official procurement channels or professional advice.
