Find out which open tenders your company can bid for
A tender can be 180 pages long, and whether you may bid is decided on a few of them: who it is reserved for, the certificates that must still be valid on the closing day, the contracts, staff and equipment it asks for, and the credit you must show. Miss one and the bid is thrown out at the first check, after all the work of preparing it. Someone has to read each document against the company's papers, line by line. Falef does that reading. It finds those pages, copies each requirement with its page number, and sorts them into met, not met, and cannot be told from what you gave it.
Pause or stop any time.
Ask it things like
- “Check the open tenders on https://www.kefri.org/components/tenders/tenders.html against my company: a women-owned grounds-maintenance firm with a valid AGPO Women certificate, an expired NSSF certificate, no DOSH registration, a CR12 from March 2025, three grounds contracts worth KSh 3.2 million in all, and 3 brush cutters. For each tender, tell me if we can bid, what we miss, and when it closes.”
- “Go to https://www.kefri.org/components/tenders/tenders.html and list the tenders marked OPEN. For each one, open its tender document and read the closing date and time, who the tender is reserved for, the mandatory requirements and the technical requirements. Compare each tender with our company below and tell me, for each one: can we bid (yes, no, or only if we fix things), which requirements we meet, which we fail or cannot prove, and the closing date and time. Use only what the documents say. If you cannot read part of a document, say which part. Our company: Mfano Grounds Ltd, Nairobi, incorporated 2019. Grounds maintenance and landscaping, and one small cleaning contract. Two directors, both women. AGPO certificate for Women, valid until 30 June 2028; no certificate for persons with disabilities or youth. Tax compliance certificate valid until 31 March 2028. Nairobi County single business permit valid until 31 December 2027. Certificate of incorporation: yes. NSSF compliance certificate: expired on 30 September 2026, not renewed. SHA compliance certificate valid until 31 December 2027. Work injury insurance valid until 31 December 2027. DOSH workplace registration: none. CR12 issued 10 March 2025. Power of attorney for our managing director: yes. Contracts with reference letters: grounds maintenance for a school, KSh 1,200,000 (2023-24), a hotel, KSh 900,000 (2024), and a housing estate, KSh 1,100,000 (2025); one office cleaning contract, KSh 800,000 (2024). Staff: one supervisor with a landscaping diploma and 6 years' experience; two lead gardeners, one with a landscaping certificate and 4 years' experience and one with no certificate and 3 years'. Nobody holds a housekeeping diploma. Equipment we own, with invoices: 2 lawn mowers (6.5 HP), 3 brush cutters, 2 hedge trimmers; no buffing, scrubbing or vacuum machines. Bank: a line of credit of KSh 400,000; monthly expenses about KSh 180,000.”
- “Open this tender document: [paste its link]. Using only what it says, check it against my company: [say who owns it, which certificates you hold and when each expires, your past contracts and their values, your staff, your equipment and your credit]. Tell me if we can bid, what we miss, and when it closes.”
What Falef does
You watch each of these happen, in plain words, as it happens.
- Opens the page you name and picks out the tenders still marked open.
- Opens each tender's document and searches it for the closing time, who it is reserved for, the mandatory documents and the qualifications asked for.
- Reads those pages and copies each requirement with its page number.
- Compares each requirement with the details you gave it, and sorts them into met, not met, and cannot be told.
What you get
For each open tender: whether your company can bid, can bid only if something is fixed, or cannot; every requirement it checked, with its page number and whether you meet it; and the closing date and time. Under the answer, a list of every website it opened.
Worth double-checking
- Put your company's details in the ask: who owns it, which group you are registered in, each certificate with its expiry date, past contracts and their values, staff, equipment and credit. Falef compares only what it is given, and says "cannot tell" for the rest.
- Treat the answer as a first screen, not a decision. Every requirement comes with its page number, so open the document at that page before you spend money on a bid, and read any addenda, which can change what is asked.
- Tender documents behind a login, a payment or a registration can't be read, because Falef doesn't sign in for you. A scanned page is a picture of text, which Falef can't read, and the answer names any page it could not read.
- Two tenders is about as many as one errand can read. Ask for the next ones in a follow-up in the same task, which remembers what you said about your company.
- A certificate that expires a day after the closing date passes on paper and is a risk in practice, so check the close calls by hand.
- Leave out certificate numbers, PINs and bank details: the dates are enough. Falef's staff may read a task to help.
