Check the buyer's address or electronic system, file formats, naming rules, envelope labels and closing date and time. Tender Express does not accept bids on behalf of the buyer.
Reconcile the priced schedule with the technical response. Ensure authorised signatures, requested declarations and mandatory attachments are present.
Leave time for uploading or delivery and retain the receipt. Check for corrigenda and addenda immediately before finalising the pack.

Tender notices are published by National Treasury through the eTenders portal and by the individual buying institutions, which remain the authoritative sources. Tender Express is an independent search platform. It is not an official government service and is not affiliated with National Treasury. Always confirm details and download documents from the original source.
