Frequently asked questions
Where can I find waste management tenders in South Africa?+
Public waste management tenders are advertised on National Treasury's eTenders portal and on provincial, municipal and SOE sites. Bidcheck reads them into one live feed, with 30 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 waste management tenders?+
Usually: A waste management licence under NEMWA where you store, treat or dispose of waste; Registered, roadworthy vehicles and a waste manifest system, with healthcare risk waste needing specialised transport; A COIDA Letter of Good Standing and CSD registration; Compliance with the municipality's by-laws for collection and disposal. Each tender's own requirements can be stricter, so check the tender data and returnable schedule before pricing.
How do I win more waste management tenders?+
Healthcare risk waste has fewer competitors because the licensing is harder. If you can meet it, the field is smaller. 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 waste management tenders on Bidcheck?+
