Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Get answers to common questions about Tenders SA and start winning more contracts today

What is AI-powered tender matching?

AI-powered tender matching uses machine learning to analyze your company profile—including industry codes, B-BBEE level, provinces of operation, and capabilities—to automatically find and recommend South African tenders that match your business. This saves hours of manual searching and helps you discover opportunities you might otherwise miss.

How does the AI matching work?

Our AI analyzes your company profile, including industry codes, B-BBEE level, provinces of operation, and past performance. It then matches you with tenders that align with your capabilities and increases your likelihood of success. The system learns from your application history to improve recommendations over time.

What types of tenders are available on Tenders SA?

We aggregate tenders from national, provincial, and municipal government departments, state-owned enterprises (like Eskom, Transnet, and SANRAL), and public entities across all sectors including construction, IT, consulting, supplies, services, and more. New tenders are added daily from official sources including the eTender Portal.

Do I need CSD registration to apply for government tenders?

Yes, registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) is mandatory for all suppliers wanting to do business with the South African government. Tenders SA helps you understand CSD requirements and guides you through the registration process with step-by-step tutorials.

What is B-BBEE and why is it important for tenders?

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) is a South African government policy designed to advance economic transformation. Most government tenders award preference points based on your B-BBEE status level. Higher B-BBEE levels can significantly improve your chances of winning contracts.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes! We offer a 14-day free trial with full access to all features—no credit card required. You can explore the platform, receive tender matches, and test our AI assistance before committing to a paid plan.

Is my company data secure?

Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption (256-bit SSL), are fully POPIA compliant, and store all data in South African data centers. Your information is never shared with third parties, and you maintain full control over your data at all times.

What support is available if I need help?

All plans include email support. Professional and Enterprise plans get priority support with faster response times. Enterprise customers also receive a dedicated account manager and 24/7 phone support. Our AI assistant is available 24/7 to answer questions and guide you through applications.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time with no penalties or hidden fees. You'll continue to have access until the end of your billing period. We also offer pause options if you need to temporarily suspend your account.
