Tender Watch: Gauteng wants you

Gauteng's Department of e-Government is busy this week, awarding multimillion-rand contracts and issuing invitations to the technology sector at large.

However, the invitation shouldn't be seen as an opportunity to cash in on commercial gain, says the department. Instead, the province is looking for opportunities where the government and industry can collaborate.

Department of e?Government, Gauteng
The Gauteng Department of e?Government seeks to leverage emerging digital technologies in a collaboration between government, citizens and the private sector in order to enable effective service delivery and governance. Part of its mission is to create an environment of collaboration between key stakeholders that facilitates better service delivery throughout the Gauteng City Region. The Gauteng Provincial Government has adopted a Transformation, Re-industrialisation and Modernisation (TMR) strategy that aims to ensure that the province leads Africa's industrial revolution. Along with ensuring that Gauteng has effective e-governance structures, the Department of e?Government's role includes setting up an enabling ICT infrastructure and creating a platform to stimulate the growth of a vibrant ICT industry. This includes promoting digital innovation, supporting the growth of the ICT skills pool, growing the digital economy in townships and expanding delivery of e?services to citizens, business and industry as well as throughout government. The ICT industry has an important role to play in helping to achieve these goals and is already contributing significantly to this. The Department of e?Government wants to profile the involvement and contribution of the ICT industry in building Gauteng's digital economy and the contribution of the sector to the development of e?government. It also seeks to provide a platform to expose decision-makers in government to ICT innovations and new technologies. This needs the Department of e?Government and organisations in the ICT industry to work together and to collaborate more closely for the benefit of the industry, government, the digital economy and Gauteng's citizens. The Department of e--Government therefore invites the participation of all organisations in the ICT industry to support the development of Gauteng's digital economy and the growth of effective e?government in Gauteng. The Department invites organisations that have ideas, experience, expertise, products or services to indicate their interest in discussing why and how they would like to cooperate with the Department of e?Government. It is emphasised that this invitation is not intended to establish or expand commercial relationships between the Gauteng Provincial Government, the Department of e?Government and ICT service providers. Interested potential partners should have no expectations of any commercial or business benefit from this invitation which is aimed solely at establishing collaborative partnership projects, programmes or activities and to stimulate development and strengthen e?government. While the Department of e?Government will continue to have commercial relationships with vendors through its normal supply chain processes, this invitation seeks to provide opportunities for the ICT industry to voluntarily contribute to the development of e?government and the digital economy in Gauteng.
Information: Interested companies and organisations should e?mail a short profile and brief description of what they are able to offer or a request for further information to david.kramer@gauteng.gov.za.
