Why tender applications fail
The avoidable paperwork mistakes that get bids set aside before price is even read.
Many SMME bids fail before price is considered because mandatory documents are missing, expired, or inconsistent. Understanding these failure points helps you avoid them.
The usual culprits
- An expired Tax Compliance Status or Letter of Good Standing
- A CSD profile that is inactive or has the wrong banking details
- Missing or incorrectly completed SBD forms
- Company details that differ between documents
- A late submission or an incomplete document pack
