How Sell to State works.

Three steps between you and every South African government tender.

Ask in Plain English

Type what you need in everyday language. Sell to State understands BBBEE levels, CIDB gradings, commodity codes, and procurement categories — without complex filter navigation.

> “Show me all IT services contracts above $500K closing this quarter.”

Or perhaps: “Which agencies are looking for cybersecurity consultants?”

Sell to State Searches eTenders

Sell to State scans the full eTenders database, covering national departments, all nine provincial governments, metros, municipalities, and SOEs like Eskom, Transnet, and SANRAL.

South Africa’s government procurement portal publishes thousands of opportunities. Sell to State reads them all so you can read none.

Does Sell to State show BBBEE requirements? +

Yes. Sell to State extracts and displays BBBEE level requirements, preferential procurement points, and set-aside designations for each tender so you know your eligibility before investing in a bid.

Can I use Sell to State as an MCP server? +

Yes. Sell to State exposes a Model Context Protocol interface, so you can query South African procurement data from any MCP-compatible AI assistant or IDE.

Can I see who won past tenders and the awarded values? +

Yes. Sell to State indexes contract awards alongside open tenders. For any department or SOE you can see the suppliers it awards to and the awarded amounts; for any supplier, the full list of government contracts it has won. That award history is what tells you whether a tender is winnable, who the incumbent is, and what a competitive price looks like.

Does Sell to State cover provincial and municipal tenders, or just national? +

All three tiers. eTenders aggregates national departments, all nine provincial governments, metros, and local municipalities, plus major SOEs. Sell to State indexes the full portal, so you can narrow to a single municipality or scan the whole country in one search.

How does Sell to State help with the 30-day tender window? +

South African tenders often advertise for as little as a few weeks. Sell to State re-indexes eTenders continuously and lets you set alerts by department, commodity, province, or keyword, so a relevant tender reaches you the day it’s advertised — leaving you maximum time to prepare a compliant, BBBEE-optimised bid.
