Bid files that survive evaluation
Most lost tenders are lost on paperwork: an invalid TCC, an expired registration, or annexes that disagree with each other. We check readiness, assemble the file to spec, and keep you eligible all year.
What the engagement covers
TCC readiness
Valid TIN, all required returns filed, payment proof or an approved plan — verified through TRA’s IDRAS before any tender drops.
Bid assembly
Company records, statements and compliance annexes compiled exactly to the tender specification, with nothing left to deadline day.
Tender watch
CRB currency, TCC validity and filing deadlines tracked across the year so eligibility never lapses between bids.
How the engagement runs
Start before the tender calendar starts — CRB certificates alone can take up to ~3 weeks.
- Readiness check. Fixed diagnostic: TIN, returns, arrears, CRB status and the fix list.
- Cleanup, 50/50. Filings brought current, arrears settled or planned, registry mismatches corrected.
- Bid assembly. Documents and annexes built to the tender spec, cross-checked against the registry.
- Retainer option. Basic Compliance at TZS 250,000 a month keeps books, TRA and NSSF current between bids.
Figures above are the approved bands (Task 1.3, 2026-09-29) — the only prices we quote. Every engagement is quoted in writing before we start, fixed-fee with 50/50 payment terms.
Questions owners ask
How early should we start?
Before the tender drops. The check is fast; cleanup depends on what is unfiled, and CRB issuance plus arrears plans need calendar time.
Can you also finance the contract?
Yes — a contract-finance proposal (SL3, from TZS 500,000) turns the award into a file a lender can fund. See contractors & tender-chasers.
What if our TCC is refused?
The refusal names the blocker — usually one unfiled return or one balance. We clear it, refile, and reapply. The readiness check exists so this never happens on deadline day.
Do you write the technical proposal?
We assemble the compliance and financial file. Technical methodology stays yours — we make sure the paperwork never disqualifies it.
