Questions, answered.
What is NextBid Pulse?
A Saudi service for alerts on government tenders published on Etimad, Forsah, Tanafos and NUPCO. Choose your sectors and keywords once, and Pulse emails you the moment a matching tender is published.
How fast are the alerts?
Instantly. Matches are emailed within minutes of publication, not a next-day digest.
How much does Pulse cost?
Free forever for one sector with a weekly digest. Pro is SAR 49/month and Intelligence SAR 129/month, each with a 14-day free trial. A card is required to start the trial, nothing is charged for 14 days, and the first charge falls when the trial ends. You can cancel before then and pay nothing. Annual billing gives two months free.
Which entities does Pulse cover?
Ministries, authorities, municipalities, universities, and major government companies on Etimad, plus private-sector opportunities from Forsah, non-profit opportunities from Tanafos, and government healthcare procurement from NUPCO. You can filter alerts by source and issuing entity.
How is a report delivered?
Instantly after payment - the watermarked PDF (plus Excel where included) and your tax invoice arrive by email. You can also re-download from your account.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Mada, Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay, processed by Moyasar. Prices are in SAR; VAT is added at checkout.
What if the catalogue doesn't cover my question?
Commission a custom report - a sector, a single entity, or a specific programme, built from public records, awarded contracts, and primary sources. Most ship in days.
What does a compliant Etimad submission include?
Executive summary, technical methodology, work plan and Gantt, team CVs, company profile and certifications, compliance matrix, financial offer (BOQ + payment schedule), and required guarantees - assembled as one evaluator-ready package.
What is the Golden Warranty?
If your proposal is technically disqualified due to our work - a compliance miss or formatting violation - your next proposal is delivered free of charge.
How long does a high-quality bid take?
Most Etimad opportunities give 14-30 days from publication to submission. Timelines depend on the scope and complexity of the RFP - reach out early and we will scope a delivery plan that fits your deadline. Earlier engagement always scores higher.
Do you work in Arabic or English?
Both - authored natively, not machine-translated. We frequently produce bilingual submissions.
Can you handle PQ and bid-bond paperwork?
Yes - pre-qualification packs, bid bond requests, performance guarantee letters, and authority signature coordination are routinely in scope.
