How do I win more furniture tenders?+
A missing local-content declaration (SBD 6.2 / Annex C) disqualifies furniture bids more than anything else. Fill it from your manufacturer's figures. 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.
