I know how this happens - someone plays golf with someone else... I know, I've seen this before. City of Cape Town awarded a tender to the CIO's squash buddy.

Are there any tenders in this country that are not corrupt?

When i think tender i think back hand . There is no pointing tendering if you are not greasing someone's palm.

We used to tender on occasion and trust me, just about 80% of all tenders has "someone's name" on it.

Not worth the effort.

I know our company used to get loads of tenders from the north west because our prices were the best, then they changed to only using people who live in the north west. Now we fill the orders for people who tender, they take our price and triple it. We worked with an accounts lady there for many years so she knows what the people charge because she pays them and the first time i heard what they charged i was shocked .

The government would rather award tenders to people who pay bribes and the net result of this is the government end up paying far more for their promotional items than they would if they took the cheapest quote.

Sickening to see how much money they throw away on promotional items.
