what IS Tendersure
    Tendersure is a web based tendering tool that takes advantage of the many benefits that digital data offers. Tendersure delivers improvements in efficiency, both from a time and money point of view, as well as offering numerous decision support tools. The efficiency aspects lend themselves to a highly traceable and auditable system, which in turn helps to combat corruption. Bids are sealed and can only be viewed by authorised parties. It is a vast improvement on the current system by cutting down on project time and reducing risk and cost. The automation of the tendering process improves on current working practices by reducing tender periods.

PLATFORM
    Tendersure is designed and run from an all open source platform. From the operating system to the development tools, open source software is used. The Verisign certificate, which ensures protected data transmission between the user and the server, is the only proprietary item and was chosen for its proven track record of ensuring the privacy of the user's data.  
       
  0  sERVER  
BASED SYSTEM
    Tendersure is served from a dedicated server hosted in Cape Town. The server is physically guarded by biometric access control, 24h CCTV and armed security guards. The server resides in an air conditioned room, backed up by UPS and independent power generators. The room is equipped with fire control systems and 24/7 technician support for hardware systems. The server uses redundant data storage as well as having access to redundant internet connections.  
       
  0  BROWSER  
ONLY
    Tendersure is designed to operate as a web based application. This means that a user needs only an internet capable computer and an internet browser to access and use the system. A laptop or desktop computer with WiFi, 3G, ADSL or even a dial up modem can be used to access Tendersure. No additional hardware or software needs to be purchased or installed. If you are able to surf the web from your computer, then you will be able to access Tendersure.  
       
  0 OPEN source  
BROWSER
    Sentigol supports the use of open source software and strongly recommends the use of the open source Firefox internet browser, which can be downloaded free of charge from www.firefox.com. Firefox has a number of superior safety and speed features, which can greatly improve the internet experience. This is not a necessary condition to access Tendersure however. If you do not feel comfortable with downloading a new internet browser, then your current browser will work fine.
