Tenders
Find the tender. Be ready to bid.
Public-sector tenders, refreshed every morning. Each notice shows the buyer, what is being bought, the closing date and how to apply. Finding the tender is the first half of the work. The second is having your documents in order when it closes.

Sector
Current licences
Procurement
Registration with the regulator
In Botswana, public procurement is overseen by the PPRA.
03 — Readiness
Stay ready
to bid.
001
Filings up to date
A tax clearance generally depends on your returns being filed. Deadline reminders keep them current.
002
Documents in one place
Keep certificates, clearances and licences in your Africa Documents vault.
003
Copies a buyer can check
A licensed professional attests the document and the recipient checks it online. Where a tender requires certified paper copies, follow the tender.

A professional when you need one
Engage an accountant or company secretary through the platform to prepare what a bid requires.
