Use the higher end of each band when source documents are messy, the tender has unusual scoring, the closing is tight, or you're a first-time client. Use the lower end on repeat engagements with a standing pack on file.

Build and Strategic both deliver the full three-piece submission bundle most tender boxes require — original, copy, and USB — printed, bound, branded, and packaged in a courier-ready padded envelope addressed to the tender box. Strategic adds adversarial review, pricing-model sensitivity scenarios, and post-submission Q&A response. Full feature comparison →

Payment terms

50 / 50

  • 50% on engagement — invoiced on signature of the SOW + first scoping call.

  • 7-day payment terms on each invoice.
  • ZAR EFT only.
  • Late fees: 2% per month per uncollected balance.

What we won't charge for

Not now. Not ever

  • Award outcome.

    Win or lose, the fee is the fee. This is a regulatory and ethical hard rule, not a negotiation lever.

  • Lobbying or panel access.

    We're consultants, not influencers. We don't talk to procurement officers on your behalf.

  • CIDB grading, SARS filings, BBBEE certification.

    Those are statutory services that belong to specialised firms. We refer you to ones we trust.

Refunds

What happens if we miss the deadline

  • Audit: full refund if the go/no-go memo is delivered later than the date stated in the Statement of Work.
  • Build: pro-rata refund if we miss the submission deadline due to our error. Not for delays caused by client document timing — those are documented in the SOW.
  • Strategic: Build refund terms apply, plus we waive the closing 50% tranche if our adversarial review missed a panel-flagged issue, narrowly defined.

Bidding R1m–R10m

That's our primary bracket. Audit fits if you need a read. Build fits if the bid is on. Strategic fits if you actually want to win it.
