The Bidcraft approach
A little more craft.
A better bid.
Built for South African bid teams. A strong proposal starts with a clear requirement, the right evidence, and a response you can stand behind. Bidcraft brings those details together.
01
Bring the brief into focus.
Create a tender workspace, then import a scanned page, PDF, or pasted requirements. Review extracted clauses before relying on them.
02
Give every claim a source.
Search the evidence library and draft responses against the documents provided. Compare the requirement and your response side by side.
03
Make room for a second look.
Run an AI compliance review to surface gaps and suggested wording. Check the original evidence and obtain professional sign-off before submission.
04
Keep the story of every draft.
Save snapshots, compare revisions, restore earlier proposal content, and export a Markdown proposal for your submission process.

Start with the bid document. Requirements vary by buyer and tender; these links help you prepare and do not verify your supplier status.
CSD supplier details
Check that your Central Supplier Database profile and supplier report are current where the bid requires them.

Follow the bid’s tax-status instructions. A Tax Compliance Status PIN lets an authorised recipient check your current status; it is not a permanent clearance certificate.
SARS TCS guidance (opens in a new tab)B-BBEE & preference evidence
Read the bid’s stated preference system and specific goals. Supply the requested evidence, including a valid B-BBEE certificate or qualifying sworn affidavit where applicable.

Check the required SBD or MBD forms, signatures, compulsory briefing or site visit, and any CIDB grading or COIDA letter of good standing requested. Follow the specified submission method and SAST closing time. Confirm whether prices include VAT; Bidcraft does not add it automatically.
