SayPro Tender Tracking List

Documents Required from Employee: Tender Tracking List: A document containing all tenders that SayPro is currently pursuing, with deadlines, submission statuses, and key points of contact

1. Tender Tracking List The Tender Tracking List is a comprehensive document that tracks all tenders that SayPro is currently pursuing, across various stages of the bidding process. It ensures that the organization remains organized and on track with its tender submissions and deadlines. This document should be regularly updated to reflect real-time progress and changes in the tendering landscape. Below are the key components that should be included in the Tender Tracking List: a. Tender ID or Reference Number:
   • A unique identifier assigned to each tender. This makes it easier to locate and track tenders across systems and discussions.
   b. Tender Description:
   • A brief description of the tender, including the project or contract name, scope, and objective. This provides employees and stakeholders a quick understanding of the nature of the tender.
   c. Tender Issuing Organization:
   • The name of the organization or government body issuing the tender. This helps to distinguish between different procurement bodies and provides context on the nature of the tendering process (e.g., public, private, government).
   d. Submission Deadline:
   • The date by which the tender submission must be finalized and sent to the issuing organization. This is a critical piece of information to ensure that SayPro submits bids on time and avoids penalties or missed opportunities.
   e. Submission Status:
   • The current status of the submission (e.g., “Draft,” “Under Review,” “Submitted,” “Awarded,” “Rejected”). This will help SayPro monitor whether a tender is still open, has been submitted, or has moved into the evaluation phase.
   f. Key Points of Contact (KPOC):
   • The individuals from SayPro who are responsible for managing and submitting the tender. This could include the names of bid managers, project managers, legal advisors, or any other personnel directly involved in the tender process. Contact information should also be provided for quick reference.
   g. Tender Submission Details:
   • Any additional details regarding the submission requirements, including whether physical or electronic submission is required, the specific format of the submission (e.g., proposal, documentation), and any other documentation that must accompany the tender (e.g., financial statements, company certifications, or references).
   h. Tender Evaluation Criteria:
   • A summary of how the tender will be evaluated, including the criteria such as cost, technical expertise, delivery timeline, and past performance. Understanding the evaluation criteria allows SayPro to better tailor its proposals to the needs of the issuing organization.
   i. Relevant Documents or Links:
   • Any supplementary materials associated with the tender, such as the official tender document, reference materials, or websites that need to be accessed. This ensures that employees working on the tender have all necessary materials at hand.
   j. Follow-up Dates:
   • This includes important dates like meetings, clarification sessions, and deadlines for additional documentation. These dates will help manage ongoing communications and any required follow-up actions during the tendering process.
   k. Outcome or Final Decision (if applicable):
   • Once the tender has been evaluated, this section will contain the outcome, such as whether SayPro has won the tender, whether the tender was rejected, or if the bid is still under consideration. Keeping this information updated is essential for analyzing the effectiveness of the bidding strategy and for future reference.

This document serves as a performance and analysis report for the tendering efforts, offering insight into what has been pursued in the last quarter, the success rate, key challenges, and future strategic objectives. The Monthly January version of the SCMR-1 report is critical for evaluating the organization’s tendering strategy at the start of the year and setting benchmarks for the upcoming quarter. The report should include the following sections: a. Overview of Bidding Activity:

   f. Key Lessons Learned:

   g. Budget and Resource Allocation:
   • An overview of the resources (human, financial, and technical) allocated to the bidding process, including a budget comparison to ensure that the cost of pursuing tenders aligns with the overall strategic goals.
