Finding Tenders to Apply For
Browse all open tenders at /tenders. Use the filters to narrow by category, country, budget range, and tender type. Externally sourced tenders (pulled from government procurement portals) are marked with a SOURCED badge — these link out to the original portal for application.
Click any tender card to open the full detail page. Read the scope of work, required qualifications, evaluation criteria, and deadline carefully before applying.
Eligibility
You must have a provider account to apply. If you have a client account, visit /become-provider to upgrade. You cannot apply to a tender posted by your own organisation.
Submitting Your Application
From the tender detail page, click Apply Now. The application wizard has three steps:
Step 1 — Cover Letter
Write a focused cover letter that directly addresses the scope of work. Explain:
- Why your company is qualified for this specific tender
- Relevant completed projects of similar scope and value
- Your approach to delivering the work
- Any specific strengths that differentiate you from other applicants
Avoid generic text. Evaluators read many applications — specificity wins.
Step 2 — Technical Proposal
Outline your methodology, team structure, equipment, quality control plan, and how you will meet the timeline. Match your proposal to the evaluation criteria listed in the tender.
Step 3 — Documents and Budget
- Enter your proposed budget — this should be within the tender's stated range.
- Confirm you have the documents listed in the requirements checklist (company registration, tax compliance, references, insurance). The actual documents may be submitted off-platform if the tender requires it.
After Submission
Track your application status at /provider/proposals. Possible statuses are:
- Pending — received, under review
- Shortlisted — you have passed the initial screening
- Awarded — you have won the tender
- Rejected — not selected for this tender; a rejection reason may be provided
Tips for a Stronger Application
- Apply early — evaluators sometimes shortlist strong applications before the deadline.
- Answer the scope of work point by point in your technical proposal.
- Include references to specific past projects with client names, values, and completion dates.
- Make sure your provider profile is complete and up to date — evaluators will visit it.
