For buyers and procurement teams
Publish a tender to suppliers who already qualify.
Bekom puts your RFQ, tender or expression of interest in front of South African suppliers it has already checked against what you need, receives their bids sealed and signed, and keeps a record of every step.
Your first notice is free. After that, from R1 500 a notice.
What changes
Less to collect, less to screen, more you can stand behind.
Eliminate
The tender box, the printing, the courier
Bids arrive electronically, sectioned the way you asked for them. Nothing to print, collect or carry to an evaluation room.
Reduce
Bids you have to screen out
Suppliers see your notice because Bekom has already checked it fits what they do, so fewer of the bids are from businesses that could never have qualified.
Raise
A record you can defend
Sealed until the closing minute. Every file versioned, every review and comment kept, every bid signed against a fingerprint of exactly what was submitted.
Create
Reach to qualified suppliers who have never bid
Small businesses that hold the right registrations but never saw a private tender before. Bekom tells them when yours fits.
How it works
From notice to decision, in one place.
Publish
Write the notice, say which documents a bid must contain, and switch on electronic bids. A person at Bekom verifies who you are before your first notice goes out.
It reaches suppliers who fit
Bekom shows your notice to suppliers whose profile, registrations and documents match it, with the closing date and any compulsory briefing up front.
Bids arrive sealed
Each supplier uploads files under your sections, labels them, and signs the bid. You see that sealed bids exist, and nothing else, until closing.
Open, review, decide
At the closing minute the bids open. Accept a file, reject it with a reason, or ask for a new version; the bidder is told, and every version is kept.
Pricing, plainly
You pay per tender you run. Never per bid you receive.
The more qualifying suppliers Bekom brings to your notice, the better it has done its job, so it never costs you more. First notice free, then R1 500 a notice, or a yearly plan if you run many.
