Every tender advertised on the National Treasury eTenders portal, pulled in daily and made searchable, with the documents attached and the closing dates tracked. No portal logins, no PDFs to hunt for, and an email each morning with the ones that match your business.
eTenders is National Treasury's central noticeboard for public procurement. National departments, all nine provinces, metros and local municipalities, and state-owned companies like Eskom, Transnet and SANRAL publish their adverts there. If a tender is advertised anywhere in South African government, it very often appears on eTenders first.
What it does not do is tell you which of those adverts is worth your time. It is a publication system, so the burden of checking sits with you, every working day, against a list that does not know what your business does. That is the gap most suppliers lose tenders in: not on price, but by finding the advert on day eleven of a fourteen day window, after the compulsory briefing has already been held.
TenderFinder reads the feed daily, adds the municipal and state-owned company sources that do not always land on the portal at the same moment, and matches everything against the keywords and provinces you care about. The documents stream from here, so you never go back to the portal to collect them.
One screen for the whole national pipeline, updated daily.
A tender document runs to dozens of pages, and the parts that decide whether you can bid at all are scattered through it. Open any tender and choose Analyse with AI, and you get a plain-language breakdown of the pack, built from the published notice and the documents themselves.
Each analysis pulls out what is actually being bought, the key dates, the eligibility gates, whether the briefing is compulsory, how preference points are scored, the returnable forms you must hand back, the documents to gather, the submission mechanics and pricing rules, the disqualification risks, and a dated action plan working backwards from the closing date. It also drafts the clarification questions worth sending the buyer.
It is deliberately built not to guess. It lists only the forms actually named in the supplied material rather than the ones a tender of that type "usually" needs, and it flags what it could not read and what you should confirm. It is included on every plan, from 1 AI tender analysis a week on Free, and every one is downloadable.
A real analysis, not a mock-up. Each finding is tagged with where it came from, the tender notice or the documents, and it is a working aid rather than legal or procurement advice: the official pack always wins.

Free plan includes 25 listings per day. Paid plans from R79/month.
Manual checking fails for a predictable reason: it competes with delivery work. The weeks you are busiest are exactly the weeks you skip it, and those are the weeks a fitting tender is advertised with a three week window.
Set your keywords once, in the words buyers actually use rather than the words on your brochure, and the adverts arrive instead of being fetched. Every plan includes a daily email.
eTenders is the National Treasury's central publication point for government tender opportunities. Departments, provinces, municipalities and state-owned companies advertise there, which makes it the single widest source of public tender adverts in South Africa. It is a publication system rather than a matching service: it will show you what was advertised, but it will not tell you which adverts are relevant to your business.
New eTenders listings land in your inbox every morning, matched to your keywords and province. Free to start, no card needed.
