What you need to know to bid on an Israeli government or municipal tender without being disqualified on a technicality — in plain English, with the Hebrew terms and references to the law.
Where to start, how to read the tender booklet, when to ask clarification questions and how to submit a bid that won’t be disqualified — every stage of an Israeli government or municipal tender.
What counts as a threshold condition (tnai saf), the most common ones, how to prove you meet them and the mistakes that get bids rejected before price is even considered.
Bookkeeping and tax-withholding certificates, affidavits under the Public Bodies Transactions Law, authorised-signatory confirmation, the guarantee and more — what almost every tender asks for and where to get it.
What a bid guarantee is and how it differs from a performance guarantee, how to get a bank or digital guarantee, and which mistakes in wording, amount or validity disqualify a bid.
How the government’s digital tender box (the Yahalom system) works: identification, uploading files, clarification questions and updating your bid before the deadline — and what to watch out for.
The Government Procurement Administration, the Ministry of Defense, local authorities, government companies, hospitals and universities — where each kind of tender is published and how not to miss the right one.
The terms you meet in an Israeli tender — from tnai saf and arvut to evaluation criteria and the right of inspection — with English translations, transliteration and a short explanation.
SafPass breaks down the tender documents, checks the threshold conditions against your documents and drafts the bid in Hebrew — explained in English. Free during the pilot.
