Frequently asked questions

Where can I find generators and backup power tenders in South Africa?+

Public generators and backup power tenders are advertised on National Treasury's eTenders portal and on provincial, municipal and SOE sites. Bidcheck reads them into one live feed, with 23 open right now, most of them in Gauteng, and emails you new ones every morning. Searching is free.

What do I need to qualify for generators and backup power tenders?+

Usually: OEM authorisation or proof of dealership for the generator brand where specified; A registered electrician and CoC for installation and changeover switching; A CIDB grade in EB or ME for installation projects above the threshold; A COIDA Letter of Good Standing and CSD registration. Each tender's own requirements can be stricter, so check the tender data and returnable schedule before pricing.

How do I win more generators and backup power tenders?+

Maintenance contracts are scored on response time. Name the technicians and the nearest service base to the buyer. 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 generators and backup power tenders on Bidcheck?+

Yes. Every live generators and backup power tender is free to search with no signup. A free account adds your match score, daily email alerts and the will-they-pay check.
