Frequently asked questions
Where can I find plumbing and water tenders in South Africa?+
Public plumbing and water tenders are advertised on National Treasury's eTenders portal and on provincial, municipal and SOE sites. Bidcheck reads them into one live feed, with 72 open right now, most of them in Western Cape, and emails you new ones every morning. Searching is free.
What do I need to qualify for plumbing and water tenders?+
Usually: Qualified plumbers registered with PIRB for plumbing installation work; A CIDB grading in CE (civil engineering) or GB (general building) for larger works; Borehole work usually needs a hydrogeologist report and a water use licence check; 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 plumbing and water tenders?+
Term contracts (as and when required) are priced on a schedule of rates. Win on rates, and the buyer orders work from you for two or three years. 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 plumbing and water tenders on Bidcheck?+
Yes. Every live plumbing and water tender is free to search with no signup. A free account adds your match score, daily email alerts and the will-they-pay check.
