Tender readiness: stop losing on paperwork
The documents and scores that decide bids before price.
**70% of SMME bids are disqualified before they are even read** — almost always on documents, not price. Tender readiness is about having the right paperwork, current and complete.
## The checklist
- **CSD** registration (current).
- Valid **SARS TCS** PIN.
- **B-BBEE** affidavit or certificate.
- **COIDA** Letter of Good Standing (if you have employees).
- **CIDB** grading (construction).
- A clear **company profile / capability statement** and contactable references.
