For first-time SA bidders & SMMEs

✓ Fill in every SBD form correctly — with worked examples
✓ Get CSD, SARS & B-BBEE compliant the right way, once
✓ Never leave out a document that gets you disqualified

The hard truth

Most first-time bids are dead on arrival.

A single government tender can be worth hundreds of thousands of rands. But you can lose before anyone even looks at your price — disqualified on a technicality. These are the six that do it:

✕A missing or incorrectly completed SBD form
✕Your SARS tax status isn't compliant (no valid PIN)
✕The wrong or an over-claimed B-BBEE level
✕You're not registered on the CSD (Central Supplier Database)
✕Pricing / VAT errors, or an unsigned or un-initialled page
✕A single returnable document left out of the pack

That's exactly why consultants charge R3,000–R15,000 to do one bid for you. Tender Ready SA gives you the whole system for R399 — and you keep it for every tender you ever submit.

Simple to use

How it works

Set up once, then reuse it for every tender you ever bid on.

Get compliant once

Register on the CSD, pull your SARS Tax PIN and sort your B-BBEE proof — logged in your tracker and reused for every future bid.

Find a tender & complete it

Browse the free eTenders portal, then complete the forms with the guides and worked examples, and price it correctly.

Run the checklists & submit

Two checklists catch every disqualifier before you submit — so your bid actually gets scored.

The honest comparison

Why R399 is a no-brainer

Free government info

Scattered across eTenders, SARS, CSD and the dtic. Dense, jargon-heavy, no worked examples — and the traps are invisible until you've already been disqualified.

A consultant

R3k–R15k

Does one bid for you. You learn nothing, own nothing, and pay all over again for the next tender.

PROMISE

A fair, honest guarantee

If the file is broken, not as described, or you're charged twice — email us and we'll fix it or refund you, as required by the Consumer Protection Act. Because it's an instant download, we can't offer change-of-mind refunds once you've downloaded it. And to be clear: this toolkit helps you submit a compliant bid — it can't guarantee you'll win one. Anyone who promises that isn't being honest.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

Is this official / affiliated with the government?

No. Tender Ready SA is an independent educational toolkit — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government body, National Treasury, SARS, CIPC or the CSD. We point you to the free official sources and help you use them correctly.

Are these the actual SBD forms?

No — and that's deliberate. You download the latest blank SBD forms free from the eTenders portal. We give you the plain-English guidance and filled-in worked examples that show you exactly how to complete them without getting disqualified.

Will this guarantee I win a tender?

No, and we'd never claim that. What it does is get you past the compliance gate — the technical knock-outs that disqualify most first-time bidders before their price is even opened. Winning then comes down to your offer and price.

What do I get, and in what format?

A single instant download (ZIP) with PDF guides and checklists, plus editable Word and Excel templates. Works on a phone or a PC.

How do I pay?

By Instant EFT (pay straight from your banking app — Capitec, FNB, TymeBank and more) or by card. Your download link appears the moment payment clears.

What happens when the rules change?

Tender rules and forms do change — a new Public Procurement Act is being phased in. When key things change, you get the updated toolkit free.
