## About Tenders-SA
Tenders-SA.org is an **AI-powered tender matching and application platform** for South African businesses. It aggregates tenders from national, provincial, and municipal government departments, SOEs (Eskom, Transnet, SANRAL), and public entities — sourced directly from official OCDS (Open Contracting Data Standard) feeds.
The platform goes beyond simple aggregation: AI enrichment extracts key requirements, generates summaries, estimates tender values, classifies categories, and calculates compatibility scores between your company profile and each opportunity. The result is a unified intelligence layer over South Africa's fragmented public procurement landscape.
