The Challenge

The CIDB Matching Problem

Bidding out of grade is wasted effort

Grade Confusion

Working out which tenders match your CIDB grade and class takes time on every listing.

Scattered Listings

CIDB-graded work is spread across many public sector buyers and portals.

Grade Growth

As you upgrade your grade, spotting the newly available higher-value work is not automatic.

Regional Coverage

Provincial construction work in your grade is easy to miss without full coverage.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are CIDB tenders?

CIDB tenders are construction tenders that specify a required CIDB grade and class of works. The CIDB grading system indicates the size and type of construction work a contractor is registered to undertake, and public sector construction tenders commonly set a minimum grade.

Can I search construction tenders by CIDB grade?

Yes. Tenders SA helps you focus on construction tenders aligned to your CIDB grade and class, so you concentrate on work you qualify for rather than filtering every listing by hand. You can also use the CIDB grade calculator to check suitability.

How does Tenders SA help with construction matching?

Tenders SA aggregates CIDB-relevant construction tenders, helps you match them to your grade, class and province, and alerts you when new opportunities in your range are published β€” turning grade-checking into a filtered feed.

Can I track construction opportunities by province?

Yes. You can focus on the provinces you operate in across all nine provinces, so CIDB-graded building and civil works near you are surfaced together.

Does Tenders SA issue CIDB gradings?

No. Tenders SA does not issue CIDB gradings or replace official CIDB processes. It helps you interpret tender requirements and find matching work; official grading is handled by the CIDB.
