About How to prepare a competitive government tender

Read the evaluation criteria before drafting. Address each technical requirement with specific, verifiable evidence rather than generic claims.

Build a realistic price from the full scope, risks and contractual obligations. Never assume that lowest price alone determines the award.

Ask clarification questions through the buyer's published channel and before its deadline. Do not offer inducements or pay someone who promises an award.

The publishing organisation's latest notice, documents and amendments govern the opportunity. Requirements vary; this information is a starting point, not legal advice or a guarantee of eligibility.

Frequently asked questions

Does following this guide guarantee an award?

No. The buyer evaluates submissions under its published criteria. A relevant search result is not a confirmation that your business qualifies.

Source and independence

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.
