Every tender that matches your business — before the deadline.

The eTenders portal has no alerts — so businesses check it every morning, or miss out. TenderPing watches every tender published on the official system and pings you the moment a relevant one drops.

Only on TenderPing

We read the tender document. Everyone else reads the title.

Government tenders are named like filing references, not like work. The thing you actually supply is on page seven of the PDF — so a keyword alert that only scans the title never finds it, and you never knew the tender existed.

A real tender, title only

Supply and delivery of goods as per specification RFQ‑2026‑114

Search “borehole” on any other service and this never appears. Nothing in the title says what it is for.

What is actually inside it

… installation of a borehole pump, rising main and control panel at the municipal reservoir …

We extract the text from every tender document we can reach, so this reaches the person who sells borehole pumps.

tender PDFs we can read the text of. The rest are scans, and we say so rather than pretending.

161,000

tenders back to 2009, searchable free — so you can see what a buyer bought before, and how often it comes around.

Before the advert

Departments publish what they plan to tender. We match those plans too, months ahead.

How it works

From keyword to inbox, on autopilot

Tell us your keywords

Cleaning, security, IT, construction — whatever you supply, plus your province. Two minutes, no card.

We watch the official source

Every tender published on the national eTenders system — departments, provinces, SOEs — checked daily and matched to your business.

You get pinged

Matching tenders land in your inbox with document links, closing-date countdowns and briefing flags. WhatsApp delivery is coming to paid plans.

Deadline intelligence

A missed briefing kills a bid.
We flag it before it can.

Every alert carries a closing-date countdown, and when a tender has a compulsory briefing session, it's flagged — because arriving one day late to a site meeting disqualifies your bid before you've priced a single item. Most alert services just forward the tender; we surface the deadline detail that quietly loses bids.

Frequently asked questions

What is TenderPing?+

An alert service that monitors every new tender published on South Africa's official eTenders system and emails you the ones matching your business keywords and province. WhatsApp delivery is in development and coming to paid plans.

How much does it cost?+

Browsing tenders is free, and the weekly email digest is free. Daily alert plans are Solo R 149/mo, Pro R 349/mo and Agency R 899/mo. Every signup starts with a 14-day free trial of daily alerts — no card needed, cancel anytime.

Where does the tender data come from?+

From the National Treasury eTenders system — the official public source of SA government procurement data — via both its OCDS API and portal feed. Every alert links back to the official record. We're independent and not affiliated with the government.

Do you cover every South African tender?+

We cover every tender published on the national eTenders system — national and provincial departments plus the many municipalities and state-owned entities that advertise there. Some municipal quotations are only advertised on individual municipal websites; expanding that coverage is on our public roadmap.

Do I get alerts on WhatsApp?+

Alerts arrive by email today. WhatsApp delivery is in development and comes to paid plans first — we never charge for features that aren't live yet.
