FAQs
How does Tender Aid’s AI ensure the accuracy of tender analysis?
Our AI uses advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to “read” uploaded documents against a database of South African procurement regulations. It identifies mandatory returnables, functionality scoring, and onerous terms with high precision, flagging risks for human review to ensure 100% submission integrity.
Does Tender Aid support specific South African compliance like B-BBEE?
Yes. Tender Aid is purpose-built for the local market. Our AI specifically identifies B-BBEE level requirements, local content quotas, and mandatory SBD (Standard Bidding Document) forms, ensuring you don’t get disqualified on administrative technicalities.
Is my sensitive bid data secure and private?
Absolutely. We adhere to the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) standards. Your data is stored in secure, encrypted environments and is never used to train public AI models. You maintain full ownership and control over your intellectual property and bid history.
How much time can my team save using Tender Aid?
On average, users report a 70% reduction in the initial “bid shredding” and requirement-mapping phase. What usually takes a bid manager 4–8 hours of manual reading, Tender Aid’s AI completes in under 60 seconds.
Can Tender Aid help me decide whether to bid or not?
Yes. Our “Instant Fit Analysis” evaluates your company profile against the tender’s functionality and eligibility criteria. It provides a “Go/No-Go” recommendation based on your probability of winning, saving you from wasting resources on unwinnable bids.
Does the platform help with the final submission pack?
Tender Aid automates the assembly of your “Submission Pack.” It tracks which documents are missing such as Tax Clearances or COIDA certificates and organises your response into a structured workspace for easy finalisation.
Can I collaborate with my team or external partners on a bid?
Yes. Our Workspace feature allows you to invite team members or specialist consultants to specific tenders. You can assign tasks, share documents, and track progress in real-time, ensuring everyone is aligned before the deadline.
Is Tender Aid suitable for small businesses (SMMEs)?
Tender Aid was designed specifically to level the playing field for SMMEs. We provide the “Bid Office” infrastructure that large corporations have, but at a fraction of the cost, making complex government and enterprise tendering accessible to smaller firms.
How do I get started, and is there a trial?
You can sign up and begin analysing your first tender immediately. We offer flexible tiers, including a “Pay-As-You-Go” option for companies that bid occasionally, as well as monthly subscriptions for high-volume bid teams.
