The brief

Click Tenders Africa started as a coming-soon page and grew into a full marketplace. Tender information in the region is scattered across notice boards, newspapers and PDFs - the product’s job is to put it in one searchable place.

I built the frontend in TanStack Start, from the search-first home page through listings, tender detail and the account area, working against the studio’s backend API.

What I did

01
Search and discovery

A search-led home page and tender listings with category, sector and status filters, built on TanStack Router and TanStack Query.

02
Tender detail and tracking

Tender pages that put the dates, documents and procuring entity up front, and a signed-in flow for saving and following the tenders a business is bidding on.

03
Typed data layer

TanStack Query and TanStack Table over the backend API, with forms validated by TanStack Form and Zod.
