Questions you should ask.

How do I find government tenders in South Africa?

Start with National Treasury's eTenders portal and the relevant buyer's official site. Bidcheck helps you search available official notices by sector and province. Coverage and freshness can vary; review the source notice, closing date and requirements before you bid. Searching is free with no signup.

What is CSD registration and do I need it to bid?

The Central Supplier Database (CSD) is government's master list of approved suppliers. You need an active CSD number (MAAA-) to be awarded any public contract. Registration is free; Bidcheck can handle it for you as a once-off service (R800) and tracks your status afterwards.

What B-BBEE level do I need to win tenders?

Most tenders score 80/20 or 90/10: price plus preference points tied to your B-BBEE level. Level 1 earns full points; an EME under R10M turnover qualifies automatically via affidavit. Bidcheck shows the level each tender favours and what closing your gap would unlock.

Do you write the method statement for me?

No. We scaffold the sections a construction or professional-services method statement needs, cue the Construction Reg 9(1) H&S risks, and simulate the score against the tender's evaluation matrix. You write the substance. When your bid genuinely needs an evaluator-ready methodology for a specific site, we say so and point you at a partner consultant.

Do you verify my CSD status live?

We verify what we can: your CIPC company name, directors on record, SARS tax status if you provide your PIN, and Restricted Suppliers list matches. What we cannot verify — your CSD supplier number activity, bank verification, CSD-recorded ownership — we deep-link to the CSD portal with your details pre-filled so you can confirm. Honest split, not a claim.

Can Bidcheck help me write the proposal?

On paid plans Bidcheck reads the tender documents, builds a compliance matrix, auto-fills your SBD forms from your CSD profile, and drafts each section grounded in your document vault, then exports to Word for your final edit.

What powers the analytics tools?

Spending Trends, Supplier Analysis and Buyer Intelligence run on live OCDS award data from National Treasury. Payment tools build on Treasury's published BAS data. All open government data under the PDDL licence.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, no notice periods, no phone calls. Cancel from your dashboard in two clicks and keep access until the end of your billing month.

Bid like you know what you’re doing. Because now you do.
