National Treasury’s eTenders Portal is once again inundated with short-term, low-value quotation requests; however, the ICT industry will still be pleased at the potential of the tender, accreditation and information requests on offer.
The Department of Public Works and infrastructure (DPWI) takes the spotlight this week. It says a comprehensive due diligence is required “as a matter of urgency” to detail the root causes of the vulnerabilities of its payment systems and ICT controls.
This due diligence assessment will be of all business processes and technology systems, including security and governance, which feed into and impact the payment systems and business process.
The business process assessment includes:
- Financial management.
- Facilities management and repairs and renovations.
- Construction project management.
- Immovable asset management, including asset register.
- Real estate investment management.
- Real estate management, including property management and leasing portfolio.
- Supply chain management, including moveable assets register.
The technology system assessment includes:
- Systems and technology landscape.
- Technology architecture.
- Integration and alignment of business processes.
- Data management architecture.
- ICT and technology service providers.
- The cyber security environment.
“All due diligence assessments must necessitate a comprehensive assessment of end-to-end integrated processes, from procurement plan, aligned to budget, requisition, quotation, issuing of orders, goods received, contract management, payment process and reporting,” the department says.
The successful provider will also be expected to supply sets of recommendations, supported by an implementation plan, for the rectification of vulnerabilities, reengineered processes, introduction of new and/or improved systems and improvements to the systems.
The DPWI adds: “One of the long-term implementation plans to be delivered must be a blueprint design for the full centralised digitisation of the department’s processes and systems, and at least partial implementation of this design once approved by the department.”
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10:

This replacement process is critical in order to ensure continued high availability, efficient functioning of the department’s networking services and compatibility with the latest technologies in the IT domain, it says.
The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) seeks a professional service provider for the provision of hosting, maintenance and update support to National Treasury’s Municipal Money website.
