Meet “MaMkhize”, a budding entrepreneur in South Africa’s construction industry. Based in KwaZulu-Natal, she was determined to expand her business into Johannesburg but faced one major hurdle—attending compulsory tender briefings in Gauteng while managing operations in KZN.
That’s where TenderBriefAttend changed the game for her.
The Challenge:
Government tenders often require physical attendance at briefings before submission, and missing one means automatic disqualification. MaMkhize wanted to bid for contracts in Johannesburg, but traveling frequently wasn’t realistic. Plus, being from another province sometimes meant losing 5 points under the “locality” scoring criteria.
The Solution:
Using TenderBriefAttend, MaMkhize ensured her company was represented at every compulsory briefing in Johannesburg, without leaving KZN. Our professional representatives attended on her behalf, took detailed notes, and provided the insights she needed to submit competitive bids.
The Results:
✅ Secured Multiple Contracts – Even though she lost 5 points for not being a local business, she made up the difference under the functionality score. Her years of experience and industry expertise outshone competitors.
✅ Scored Additional Points as a Woman-Owned Business – Government tenders prioritise female-led enterprises, further boosting her chances of success.
✅ Created Local Jobs – Despite not being from Johannesburg, MaMkhize hired local subcontractors and labour, ensuring compliance with the project’s social impact goals.
Why It Worked:
📌 No More Missed Opportunities – TenderBriefAttend allowed her to compete beyond her province without logistical headaches.
📌 Strategic Scoring Approach – Even with a 5-point deduction, she leveraged experience and empowerment criteria to stay ahead.
📌 Smart Localisation – By employing locals, she proved her commitment to Johannesburg’s economy.
