can make your
Tender Dreams Come True
Promoting fair, transparent and accountable tender procurement processess
Through extensive tender expertise and knowledge of municipal tender processes, VOICE (Pty) Ltd supports businesses in accessing municipal and other levels of government procurement, while holding municipalities and other organs of state accountable by verifying adherence to every step of the tender process.
Public procurement is one of the most powerful tools available to government to deliver infrastructure, stimulate economic growth, enable business development and create sustainable employment and community development.
VOICE ENSURES THAT PUBLIC FUNDS ARE DIRECTED TOWARD CAPABLE SERVICE PROVIDERS, resulting in EFFECTIVE AND HIGH CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE, and quality service delivery to communities.
EVERY YEAR
municipalities underspend on their NATIONAL MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS (MIG-FUNDS).
As a pressure point for compliance with municipal mandates VOICE aims to reduce underspending – this will ensure that businesses and communities are not deprived from opportunities as a result of government inability.
VOICE will ensure that SMALL AND EMERGING ENTERPRISES are not excluded from tender opportunities due to a lack of capability, complex administrative compliances, strict but confusing administrative requirements standards, and limited understanding of procurement frameworks.Â
This includes the application of the 80:20 PREFERENCE POINT SYSTEM.Â
THE PURPOSE OF VOICE IS TO:
- Empower tender applicants to participate effectively and competitively.·        Â
- Support the integrity of the procurement processes.·        Â
- Ensure the fair application of rules and oversight where necessary.·        Â
- Establish why tenderers did not receive tenders.·        Â
- Launch appeals on behalf of tenderers.·        Â
- Involve the Public Protector in the resolving of disputes.Â
VOICE PROVIDES END-TO-END SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE TENDER LIFECYCLE.
At the Preparation Stage, VOICE engages directly with applicants through structured ON-SITE OR VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS.
 During these sessions, all aspects of the tender are addressed in real time. This includes the completion of documentation, alignment of mandatory forms, sourcing and verification of supporting documents, and ensuring full compliance with tender requirements.Â
 A critical component of VOICE support is FUNCTIONALITY ALIGNMENT – functionality is assessed before price and failing with this stage will result in immediate disqualification. VOICE ensures that applicants meet the required technical thresholds by strengthening submissions related to experience, methodology, personnel, and resources.
Strategy and Pricing
Tender Pricing Strategy
VOICE uses exceptional methods and scientifically based calculation of tender pricing to optimize your chances of obtaining tenders through the best realistic price within the 80:20 criteria.
Understanding the 80:20 Criteria
Under the 80:20 system, 80 points are allocated for price and 20 points for preference criteria such as B-BBEE and locality.
Competitive and Sustainable Pricing
Pricing is not arbitrary. It requires an understanding of how preference points influence competitiveness. VOICE applies practical knowledge and experience to help applicants determine pricing that is both competitive and sustainable, while taking market conditions and likely scoring outcomes into account.
Tender Process Support and Oversight
Submission and Opening Support
Beyond preparation, VOICE supports applicants during the submission and opening phases of tenders.
Process Oversight and Transparency
VOICE ensures that submissions are properly lodged and attends tender openings to observe process transparency. This oversight function contributes to fair and equal opportunity by helping to ensure that processes are conducted in line with applicable legislation and prescribed procedures.
Appeals and Formal Representations
Following the award of tenders, VOICE provides support in instances where outcomes appear inconsistent, irregular, or procedurally flawed. This includes assisting applicants with appeals and formal representations, thereby reinforcing accountability within procurement systems.
Merit, Value, and Compliance
VOICE does not seek to influence outcomes improperly, but rather to ensure that merit, value, and compliance determine success.
Support at Every Stage
By supporting applicants at every stage – preparation, submission, opening, and post-award – VOICE reduces barriers to entry, prevents unnecessary exclusion, and enables broader participation in public procurement.
