Relebogile Mabotja speaks to Thobile Zuma, founder of Tendrai, about the challenges small businesses face when trying to access procurement opportunities. From finding the right tender and navigating complex requirements to submitting proposals, undergoing vetting, managing contracts and waiting for payment, the procurement process can feel like a maze. Tendrai brings buyers and service providers together in one ecosystem, using AI to assist with supplier matching and decision-making while keeping humans in control. So, can technology make procurement more transparent, efficient and accessible particularly for South Africa’s SMMEs?
