It’s a mixed bag for the ICT sector from National Treasury’s eTenders Portal as activity once again sees a dip. This means the industry will need to consider requests from municipalities, agencies and state-owned entities for opportunities.
Home Affairs is the only national department to feature in this edition, with its desire to appoint a service provider for the supply, hosting, maintenance and support of revenue administration system at various civic affairs and mobile offices.
This system will be expected to integrate with various applicable platforms – such as e-Home and kiosks – to enable it to collect, record and report revenue due to the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa.
“The department receives its revenue through the sale of goods and services from civic and immigration affairs by issuance of enabling documents in the republic and abroad with the assistance of DIRCO. In terms of local collections, branch Civic Affairs is the main contributor of revenue generated from travel documents, re-issue of identity documents/smart cards, births, marriages and death certificates, as well as related amendments to enabling documents,” the department states.
It reveals this revenue is generated at over 400 revenue administering sites, offices and mobile units, as well as on the e-Home Affairs platform and on kiosks portals.
The successful service provider will be expected to supply the department with a solution that facilitates the collection, reconciliation and reporting as well as related services for the revenue administration in its local operations, including limited international e-VISA operations.
In terms of the administration of the collection of revenue, the department says it has created an adequate environment by deploying revenue administering mechanisms and related procedures to be used for the identification, recording and reporting of such in the financial statements through the Basic Accounting Systems (BAS) system. The required automated revenue system must be able to interface with BAS for reporting of the revenue collected.
The system will also be expected to facilitate real-time interface or integration with the department’s various systems, including service manager, live-capture, automated citizen processor, branch queuing management system, e-Home platform, standalone departmental kiosks and point-of-sales devices.
Additionally, the service provider will need to provide payment gateway functionality, with adequate transactional referencing through direct bank integration, that facilitates efficient and secure payment processing from cash and cards payments, and electronic funds transfers facilities, as well as all other generally accepted payment methods.
It must also facilitate an automated reconciliation of all payment transactions for enabling documents applied for by the clients at various department’s service channels to BAS on a daily basis that integrates with National Treasury BAS to post successfully reconciled transactions.
The department will not hold a briefing session for this tender, with submissions closing on 26 June. Only bidders that are accredited on SITA transversal tender RFB 1183 are eligible to apply.
