About

BidZA

BidZA finds South African government tenders, works out what each one demands, and helps you get a compliant bid in before it closes. FIND THE WORK Tenders are gathered from national, provincial, municipal and state-owned entity sources and put on one radar. Filter by province, buyer, closing date or value. New tenders arrive as they are published, not when somebody remembers to look. KNOW WHAT IT ACTUALLY ASKS FOR Every tender is read end to end. BidZA pulls out the closing date, the compulsory briefing, the evaluation split, and the full list of required documents — so you know within a minute whether the tender is worth your week. KEEP YOUR COMPLIANCE READY Your tax clearance, B-BBEE certificate, CSD registration and company documents live in one vault. BidZA watches their expiry dates and tells you before one lapses — not after a bid has already been disqualified for it. THE FORMS, FILLED IN The MBD forms are listed by name. Open one and it fills in what BidZA already knows about your company, so you complete the parts only you can answer. WORK THE BID Assign tasks, set internal deadlines ahead of the real one, and keep every version of every document in one place. Approvers and viewers do not use up a seat. BUILT FOR THE PHONE, NOT SHRUNK ONTO IT - Share a tender straight in. A PDF on WhatsApp or in an email goes into BidZA, which reads it and puts it on your radar. - Photograph a certificate. Point the camera at a tax clearance and it is filed. No scanner. - Closing dates in your calendar, with the compulsory briefing and reminders early enough to act on. - Readable without signal. Your radar, bids and tasks stay readable when the connection drops, stamped with when they were last read. - Face ID lock. A phone left on a table is not a way into your company documents. - Full iPad support, with the wider layouts a tablet deserves. PRICING Free on iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to buy in the app. WHO IT IS FOR Small and medium South African businesses bidding for public work: contractors, ICT suppliers, professional services, security, cleaning, logistics, and the bid managers who prepare their submissions.
