You don't need tender experience
Runners are not expected to know anything about the tender itself. You are attending as a representative of the company — your job is to show up, sign in, and collect documents.
- Reliable transport to get to the venue on time
- A smartphone to receive your authorization letter and stay in contact
- Punctuality — briefings start on time and latecomers are often turned away
- A South African bank account to receive payment via EFT

Common Questions
Is it really free to join?
Yes. Creating your runner account and applying for jobs is completely free. You only earn — there are no monthly fees or subscriptions on the runner side.
Do I need to know anything about government tenders?
No. You are attending as a representative of the company. The poster gives you everything you need: an authorization letter with their company name and your name on it, the venue address, and a list of any documents to collect. You just need to show up and follow the letter.
Are runners vetted?
Runner accounts are self-registered — we do not currently check ID documents or run background checks. What posters see is your public profile: the province and cities you cover, your bio, your rate, and your completed-job count and rating, which build as you work. Posters choose who to accept, and the authorization letter they issue names you personally for that one job.
How do I get paid?
Payment is arranged directly between you and the poster via EFT — PulseBids does not take a cut of your fee. Most posters pay within 24–48 hours of job completion. We recommend agreeing on payment terms before accepting a job — your application cover note is a good place to confirm this. (Posters pay PulseBids separately for job credits — R75 for 3, R150 for 7 or R280 for 15 posts — which is what keeps the marketplace free for runners.)
Can I do this alongside another job?
Absolutely. Government briefings are usually 1–2 hours in the morning on weekdays. Many runners attend 2–5 briefings per month as a flexible side income alongside their main work.
What if something goes wrong at the briefing?
Your authorization letter protects you — it confirms you are attending on behalf of the company. Contact the poster immediately via WhatsApp if there are any issues. Your WhatsApp number is shared with the poster only once they accept your application.
