Tenders

Every public tender, read for you. The ones that fit, before 7am.

Sakhani reads each new construction tender on eTenders and the CIDB register, scores it against the work you do, your CIDB grades and your regions, and sends the ones worth bidding to WhatsApp and email. Track them, get the briefing reminder, and price the bill from the tender pack.

Counts across every company on Sakhani, updated every hour. Your own matches are in the app, under Tenders.

How it works

Set your profile once. Sakhani reads every hour.

  1. 1

    Your tender profile, once

    The work you do, every CIDB grading you hold, your head office and branches with how far you travel, the buyers you bid for and the ones you do not, keywords and exclusions. Add your track record and B-BBEE level and the score knows what you can win.

  2. 2

    Every new tender, read

    Each hour Sakhani takes the new releases on National Treasury's eTenders portal and the CIDB i-Tender register, sets aside what is not construction, and Sakhani AI reads each advert and its documents for the grading, the province, the briefing and the closing date.

  3. 3

    Scored against your company

    A tender within your grades, regions and work scores high; one three grades below you is marked small for you; a buyer you excluded never shows. A score of 90 or more reaches you within the hour; the rest come in a list at 06:00.

  4. 4

    Track it, then price it

    Track the tenders you will bid: the compulsory briefing is reminded 3 days and 1 day before, the closing date at the days you choose, and any change eTenders publishes reaches you. Start pricing from the tender pack in one click.

On the phone

The tender reaches you where you already are.

The same message goes to everyone at the company who hears about tenders, on WhatsApp, email or both, as each person chooses.

Questions contractors ask

Where do the tenders come from?

National Treasury's eTenders portal, through its open-data feed, and the CIDB i-Tender register. Both are public; Sakhani reads every new release, so you do not have to search either one.

Which provinces and grades are covered?

All nine provinces and every CIDB grade. Your profile decides what reaches you: your gradings, your head office and branches with the distance you travel, and the buyers you bid for.

What does the score mean?

How well the tender fits your company, out of 100: the grade and class of work against your gradings, the site against where you work, the work against what you do and have done, and the buyer against the ones you bid for. 90 or more is sent at once.

Can our estimator use it without seeing our contracts?

Yes. The Estimator role finds, tracks and prices tenders and sees nothing of the company's projects, contracts or claims.

What does pricing a bill cost?

Pricing is in the Estimating add-on. Reading the bill from the tender pack uses Sakhani AI credits, and the upload says how many before anything is read or priced.
