Most small businesses lose a government tender before anyone even reads their price. A missing or expired document is all it takes. So before you bid, check that you qualify.
This is Eligibility in BidCheck. At the top is your bid-ready score. It counts what's already in place, and it drops the moment a document that could disqualify you has expired.
Right now, one thing is flagged. This letter of good standing has expired. A bid that relies on it can be disqualified, so it sits at the top of your fix plan.
For every gap, you see what to do, how long it takes, and two ways to fix it. Do it yourself with a step-by-step guide, or let our team do it for you.
Over here are the three documents that sink the most bids: your CSD registration, your B-BBEE certificate, and your SARS tax compliance PIN. Each one is checked against your document vault, which shows what's valid, what has no expiry, and what has expired.
Upload the fresh copy once, and BidCheck drops it into every bid. The score goes back up, and you never re-upload at the deadline.
That's the habit to build. Check your eligibility before you spend a single hour on a tender. Next, we'll look at how tenders are scored.
