A tender process you can audit, in plain English.
- 01
Organisations subscribe & verify
Mines, ministries and companies pay a N$5,000 / year subscription to list tenders. They upload their legal documents — registration certificate, good standing from Namibia Inland Revenue, BIPA, Social Security registration, affirmative action compliance — and the platform verifies them before any tender goes live.
- 02
Bidders register & upload compliance
Tenderers register for N$300 / year. They upload the standard Namibian Procurement Act compliance pack — company registration, good standing, bank confirmation letter, Social Security & VAT certificates, affirmative action affidavit. Their profile is then ready to qualify for any open tender.
- 03
Organisations list tenders with a price
Each tender is uploaded as a PDF with a document price set by the organisation. There is no per-tender listing fee — the annual subscription covers unlimited listings. The tender goes live immediately.
- 04
Bidders pay & download a stamped document
Each tender lists the price to receive the document. Payment is in NAD via Paystack. The platform issues an invoice with a unique serial (TL-2026-000123 style) and a QR code. Every page of the PDF is stamped with that serial and QR before the bidder downloads it.
- 05
Verification on every page
If a stamped document is shared outside the platform, anyone can scan the QR and confirm exactly which bidder paid for it, which tender it belongs to, and when. Submissions must reference a paid invoice for that exact tender — no anonymous bids reach the table.
- 06
80 / 20 split, paid 3 days after close
All document fees are collected against a single reference per tender. Three days after the tender closes, the platform calculates the gross revenue, keeps a 20% platform fee, and EFTs the remaining 80% directly to the listing organisation's Namibian bank account.
Every stamped document carries a unique serial and QR code linked back to a public verification page.
