Opportunity Overview
PulseBids is South Africa's tender intelligence platform, helping contractors find and win government and private-sector bids. To keep our members' bid pipelines moving, we're recruiting Runners in every province — people who attend tender briefing sessions and collect bid documents on behalf of registered PulseBids members.
This is flexible, part-time gig work: no fixed hours, no office, no experience required. Most jobs take 1–2 hours from start to finish, and you get paid per job completed — not a monthly wage you have to wait for. It's completely free to join, and you choose which jobs to take based on your own area and availability.
If you're reliable, presentable, and comfortable travelling to briefing venues in your area, this is real, flexible income you can start earning within days of signing up.
Minimum Requirements
- Own smartphone with a working camera and mobile data
- Access to transport (own vehicle, taxi, or reliable public transport) to reach briefing venues
- Valid South African ID
- Own bank account (for payment of completed jobs)
- Able to work independently and meet job deadlines without supervision
- No formal education requirement — Grade 10 and above welcome
- Live in or near the area(s) where you want to accept jobs
Key Responsibilities
- Attend tender/bid briefing sessions on behalf of registered PulseBids members
- Collect physical tender documents from the venue
- Photograph or scan documents clearly and upload them promptly through the PulseBids Runner app/portal
- Confirm attendance with proof (sign-in sheets, photos, timestamps) on the same day
- Communicate professionally with venue officials, procurement staff, and PulseBids clients
- Flag any issues at the briefing (postponements, venue changes, missing documents) immediately

What a fixed-term post involves
A contract post is employment for a defined period or project. The work and the requirements are usually identical to a permanent post at the same level — the difference is the end date. Contract staff generally receive the same salary scale, sometimes with benefits paid as an allowance instead of a fund contribution.
How fixed-term contracts work: the week, the qualification and where it leads →Watch out for this
Confirm what happens at the end of the term before you resign from something else. A fixed-term contract ends by expiry, and that is not a dismissal you can contest.
