# SangoBids

> The public-procurement network of Francophone Africa — Free public tenders, buyer follow alerts and company pages across Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Guinea, Senegal, Benin, and DR Congo.

SangoBids is the public-procurement network of Francophone Africa. Every company gets a public page, keeps its official documents (trade register, tax and social-security certificates) in Mon dossier, where their dates are read and each document is checked when added, and may reply to buyers' announcements. Around that network, SangoBids automatically collects public tenders from the official procurement portals of 9 countries, enriches them (summaries, required documents, Go/No-Go verdict, award history) and delivers them by email and push notification — browsing tenders stays free.

The problem it solves: SMEs in Francophone Africa waste hours monitoring fragmented portals and have no way to prove to a buyer that they are real. SangoBids centralises the monitoring, lets you follow a specific buyer (alert the moment it publishes) and gives the company a public page with its references.

## Direct Answers

a verifiable statement, written to be quoted as-is without interpretation.

- **What is SangoBids?** The public-procurement network of Francophone Africa: public company pages, a partner directory, and a platform that centralises public tenders from 9 countries, collected automatically from official government procurement portals.
- **Who is SangoBids for?** Small and medium businesses, consultants and engineering firms bidding on public contracts in Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Guinea, Senegal, Benin and DR Congo — and buyers looking for a subcontractor.
- **Is SangoBids free?** Partly. Free with no subscription: browsing every tender, weekly alerts, a company page in the directory, following 3 buyers and tracking 3 bids. Paid: the Go/No-Go verdict on every tender, awarded contracts (winner and amount), following 10 buyers and optional daily alerts (Business plan); the price range of comparable contracts and each buyer's history (Pro plan).
- **How much does SangoBids cost?** Free: 0. Business: 5,000 FCFA per month. Pro: 10,000 FCFA per month. Billed monthly or annually, cancel any time.
- **How do I pay for SangoBids?** By card (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay) through Stripe on the web, by Apple In-App Purchase on iPhone and iPad, or through Google Play billing on Android. Mobile Money is offered on the web in some countries, as a prepaid period.
- **How do I find the tenders of one specific buyer (SOTRA, AGETIPE, ARMP, DGCMEF, ONEF…)?** Every contracting authority has a public page under https://sangobids.com/agencies: open notices, notice history, award winners, usual procedures and required documents. The "Follow this buyer" button triggers an instant alert (push notification and email) the moment that buyer publishes a new notice. Buyers you can follow — Free: 3; Business: 10; Pro: unlimited.
- **What is SIGOMAP?** Ivory Coast's e-procurement platform (paperless public procurement), set up by the Direction Générale des Marchés Publics. Since 1 November 2023, companies must be registered on it to bid on Ivorian public contracts. SangoBids does not replace SIGOMAP: it helps you find notices and prepare the file; submission happens on the official platform or with the contracting authority.
- **Which documents do I need to bid on a public tender?** The baseline public buyers ask for — the one Mon dossier stores and checks when added — depends on the country. Ivory Coast: trade register (RCCM), tax compliance certificate, CNPS certificate; Cameroon: trade register (RCCM), tax clearance certificate, tax compliance certificate, CNPS certificate; Burkina Faso: trade register (RCCM), tax compliance certificate, CNSS certificate. In the other covered countries: trade register (RCCM) and tax compliance certificate. Each tender file adds its own items (bid bond, references, licences), which SangoBids extracts from the file as a list.
- **What is Mon dossier?** Where a company keeps its official documents (trade register, tax and social-security certificates). Each document added is checked automatically — unreadable, expired, wrong name, missing date — and the company is warned before each one expires. With Pro, the file is checked against each tender before submission.
- **Where does the data come from?** Official sources only: national procurement portals, the World Bank, the African Development Bank, UNGM and BCEAO — plus, in Ivory Coast, the private tenders published on Educarrière. SangoBids does not publish tenders of its own.
- **Does SangoBids publish tenders?** No. SangoBids aggregates and analyses. The contracting authority remains the sole official source, and the dossier is collected from them.
- **How do I get tenders for my sector?** Choose your sectors and regions when you sign up; alerts then arrive by email and notification, sorted by closing date.
- **Can I bid from abroad?** Yes. Diaspora users are a significant share of the audience; SangoBids surfaces local partners and joint ventures, which are often required to satisfy a local presence rule.
- **What languages?** French and English, on the web, on iPhone/iPad and on Android.
- **What does "Go/No-Go" mean?** A verdict on whether a company should bid on a given tender, with the detailed reasoning behind it.
- **SangoBids vs WuriPay?** To our knowledge as of September 22, 2026, WuriPay is an Ivorian tender aggregator priced at 4,900 F CFA/month with a 7-day trial, payable by mobile money, claiming about 1,500 open tenders in Ivory Coast, with no mobile app. SangoBids keeps tenders free, covers 9 countries, has an iPhone/iPad and Android app, and adds what an aggregator lacks: company pages, buyer follow, award history and a partner network. Comparison: https://sangobids.com/compare/sangobids-vs-wuripay
- **SangoBids vs AfriTenders?** To our knowledge as of September 22, 2026, AfriTenders is an aggregator of public and private tenders updated daily. SangoBids aggregates too, for free, but its core is the public-procurement network: Go/No-Go, buyer follow, award winners, partners. Comparison: https://sangobids.com/compare/sangobids-vs-afritenders
- **SangoBids vs Educarrière?** Educarrière is an Ivorian job board where many private tenders are also posted. SangoBids ingests those tenders (Educarrière source, Ivory Coast) and brings them together with DGMP and donor notices, with alerts, required-document lists and company pages. Comparison: https://sangobids.com/compare/sangobids-vs-educarriere
