Tender Watch: SITA changing tack?

The State Information Technology Agency appears to be kicking off the New Year with modifications to its disclosure and transparency policies. Conceived to be the public sector's single point of contact for its technology and communications requirements, Sita's procurement processes and organisational difficulties have seen much of the government sector losing confidence in the organisation. This week's National Tender Bulletin, however, sees the agency deviating from its traditional tight-lipped approach and opting to disclose the value of one its tender awards.

Government Printing Works
GPW would like to warn members of the public against an organised syndicate(s) scamming unsuspecting members of the public and claiming to act on behalf of the Government Printing Works. One of the ways in which the syndicate operates is by requesting quotations for various goods and services on a quotation form with the logo of the Government Printing Works. Once the official order is placed, the syndicate requests upfront payment before delivery will take place. Once the upfront payment is done, the syndicate does not deliver the goods and service provider then expects payment from Government Printing Works. Government Printing Works condemns such illegal activities and encourages service providers to confirm the legitimacy of purchase orders with GPW SCM, prior to processing and delivery of goods.
Information: To confirm the legitimacy of purchase orders, please contact: Renny Chetty (012) 748-6375, e-mail: Renny.Chetty@gpw.gov.za; Anna-Marie du Toit (012) 748-6292, e-mail: Anna-Marie.DuToit@gpw.gov.za; or Siraj Rizvi (012) 748-6380, e-mail: Siraj.Rizvi@gpw.gov.za.
