Frequently asked questions
Where can I find events, staging and sound tenders in South Africa?+
Public events, staging and sound tenders are advertised on National Treasury's eTenders portal and on provincial, municipal and SOE sites. Bidcheck reads them into one live feed, with 26 open right now, most of them in KwaZulu-Natal, and emails you new ones every morning. Searching is free.
What do I need to qualify for events, staging and sound tenders?+
Usually: Proof of owned or contracted equipment (staging, PA, tents) with a structural certificate for large tents and stages; Event safety compliance under the Safety at Sports and Recreational Events Act for large gatherings; Public liability insurance; Registration on the CSD and a B-BBEE affidavit. Each tender's own requirements can be stricter, so check the tender data and returnable schedule before pricing.
How do I win more events, staging and sound tenders?+
These close quickly and the event date does not move. Bid only where you can prove the equipment is available on that date. Beyond that, keep your CSD profile, tax PIN and B-BBEE affidavit current, attend every compulsory briefing, and bid on tenders the buyer can actually pay for. Bidcheck scores each tender against your profile and flags buyers with a poor payment record.
Is it free to search events, staging and sound tenders on Bidcheck?+
Yes. Every live events, staging and sound tender is free to search with no signup. A free account adds your match score, daily email alerts and the will-they-pay check.
