Every tender worth your time, scored before you open it
The scout reads the National Treasury eTenders feed and your own feeds on the schedule you set. Each tender is scored against your profile and checked against your CSD and tax status at its closing date, so the team only spends time on bids it can win.
Who uses it
- Bid manager
- Director or partner
- Business development
What it does
- Reads the eTenders OCDS feed and any public RSS or Atom feed you add, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
- Merges duplicates by reference or by buyer and title, keeping every source.
- Scores each tender 0–100: keywords, services, provinces, contract value and time to closing; an unknown factor is marked “not known”, never guessed.
- Recommended (a fit of 80 or more, still open) and New today views; search and filter on the server.
- Eligibility: your CSD report and SARS tax compliance must be held and current at the closing date; a required CIDB grade and a compulsory briefing are flagged.
- Bid, no-bid, hold or more information — with a reason; above your threshold a bid needs a partner’s approval.
How it works
- Set your search profile.
- Let the scout run, or press Scan.
- Open a recommended tender and read its eligibility.
- Record the decision; a bid opens its workspace.
The controls that protect it
- A bid above the partner-approval threshold names an approving partner who is a member of the firm.
- Every source shows when it was last read and what it found, including failures.
What it does not do (yet)
- The eTenders feed is the one South African portal connected today; other portals are listed with the reason they are not.
- The fit score follows rules on your profile; it is not an AI prediction.
