Packages

Scoped to the work you bid, and quoted

There is no price list. What a package costs depends on how often you bid, how many companies bid under your name, and how much of the work you want us to carry. Tell us, and we send a written proposal with the scope, the deliverables and one fee.

01 The packages

Three ways to work with us, from one tender to a bid office

Per tender

Bid desk

One tender, prepared and checked end to end.

For a firm that bids now and then, or wants to see the work on one bid first.

  • The bid document read: closing, returnables, forms, briefing and rejection clauses, with pages
  • Every SBD, MBD and buyer form filled from your records, then read back
  • The returnables gate, with the fix for each item
  • The pack: index, bookmarks, SHA-256 manifest and audit trail
Your team runs it

Bidder

The engine for a team that bids every month.

For a bid team that wants the tools and does the work itself.

  • The opportunity radar and the "Can we bid?" verdict on every tender
  • The compliance vault: every certificate and its renewal date
  • The bid autopilot on every bid, and fields to complete shown on their page
  • The pricing builder and the 80/20 and 90/10 points simulator
We run it with you

Client portal

A business development office on your own brand.

For a firm that bids across buyers and provinces and wants one record behind every bid.

  • Everything in Bidder
  • Your archive read into a track record and a compliance register
  • Your portal: name, logo, colours, your team's logins and sign-up codes
  • Partners, pipeline, actions, drawings and the tender brief
  • A monthly review with your bid director

04 Request a proposal

Tell us what you bid

We reply by e-mail, usually the next business day. What you send is used only to answer you, under our privacy notice.

Or e-mail admin@countpilot.co.za.
Whatever you choose
Your documents stay yours

If a package ends or changes, nothing you put in is taken away:

  • Your compliance vault, every document in it and every expiry date
  • Your deadline calendar and .ics subscription
  • The full rule-based reading of every tender you have opened
  • Every submission pack you have built, with its index, bookmarks, SHA-256 manifest and audit record
  • Every audit chain, readable and verifiable
  • ZIP export of everything, any time

Nothing is signed, priced or submitted without you. Award decisions are the buyer's; we make sure the envelope is complete, compliant and on time.

05 Questions

What people ask before a proposal

Why is there no price list?

Because the work differs too much between clients for one number to be honest. A contractor that bids twice a year needs one tender done well; a firm with three companies and a decade of references needs its archive read before its first bid. We quote what you need, in writing, before you commit.

Is there a free tier or a trial?

No. The conversation and the proposal cost nothing; the work starts when you accept the proposal.

Do you submit the bid for us?

No. The autopilot fills and checks; a person in your company signs, prices, has affidavits commissioned and delivers the bid. The signatures and the declarations are your company's, so the autopilot never makes them for you.

Who can see our documents?

Your account only. A client portal adds your own team's logins and, if you choose, your adviser's access, which you can see and take away on its Team access page.

We already have a portal. Where do we sign in?

Use the Business Portal button at the top of every page: it takes you to your own sign-in page.
