How to bid on a ppe & safety tender

Whatever the buyer, the national rules apply first, and they are checked before your price is looked at:

• CSD registration — a free supplier number from the Central Supplier Database, verified against your bank account and your CIPC registration. How to register on the CSD →
• Tax compliance — a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN, compliant on the closing date rather than on the day you started. How to get your TCS PIN →
• B-BBEE certificate or affidavit — this is what you claim preference points against on SBD 6.1. Under R10 million turnover it is a free sworn affidavit. How to get a B-BBEE certificate or affidavit →
• The SBD forms in that tender's pack — signed, complete, no blanks. A missing or unsigned form is the single most common reason a first-time bid is thrown out. SBD forms explained → — in practice that means SBD 4 (bidder's disclosure), SBD 6.1 (preference points) and SBD 9 (independent bid determination).
• A company profile — most ppe & safety tenders ask for one, and it is scored on experience, capacity and compliance rather than on presentation. company profile for tenders →

→ Check if you are tender ready — the full list, and what you are still missing.

Each ppe & safety tender also sets its own mandatory returnables on top of that national list. Tender Ready SA Pro reads every document and gives you that checklist in plain English.
