How it works

Find, win, and manage government tenders.

Bidcheck runs the whole bid for South African SMMEs — from finding the tenders you can actually win, to checking who pays, to a compliant submission and tracking it through to the contract.

01

Find

Every live South African government tender — National Treasury eTenders, provincial portals and the metros — in one search, matched to what your business does and where you deliver. Free, no signup.

02

Qualify

Before you waste a day on a bid, Bidcheck scores each tender against your profile and documents: B-BBEE points, CIDB grade, PSIRA, CSD and every returnable — and tells you exactly what's blocking you.

03

Check who pays

A won contract is worthless if the buyer pays in 150 days. Our will-they-pay indicator reads Auditor-General audit outcomes and Treasury 30-day payment data so you know the risk before you commit.

04

Bid

Turn the tender pack into a compliant submission: the returnables checklist, SBD forms pre-filled from your profile, grounded in your document vault, exported to Word — so nothing gets you disqualified.

05

Manage & get paid

Track every opportunity from discovered to submitted to paid, never miss a closing date, and line up bridging finance against the contract when you need cash to deliver.

What you need to start
Nothing to search — it's free and open
A CSD number to be awarded a contract
Your B-BBEE status (certificate or affidavit)
A SARS Tax Compliance PIN
Sector credentials where they apply (CIDB, PSIRA…)
Your company documents in the vault
