Activity on National Treasury’s eTenders Portal saw an increase last week as the spate of public holidays finally came to an end.
While larger value tenders will have to wait for finance minister Enoch Godongwana’s new budget, government’s top echelons are once again considering their technology requirements.
The first national department to feature in this week’s tender round-up is a request from the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) for the maintenance, support and licensing of its Documentum enterprise content management environment (ECM).
“The DTIC is a document-centric and information-driven organisation, therefore, the effective storage, management and dissemination of electronic and paper information is vital to the success and effectiveness of the DTIC,” it says.
The Documentum solution is being used by an average of 574 users a month, located across all DTIC offices, and this is growing as the benefit of ECM, as well as knowledge and information management, is realised. The repository currently contains over six million documents, occupying over 9TB in disk space.
The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development follows with an invitation to service providers to submit bids on the leasing of telephone management and switchboard systems to the Office of the Registrar of Deeds at its offices in South Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Qonce, and Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.
Interested parties should have suitable technical skills and experience to provide effective and reliable solutions, it says.
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development invites service providers accredited in terms of SITA’s RFB740-2020 transversal contract to submit quotations for the supply and delivery of 18 production range scanners with five-year OEM warranty and three-year maintenance and support.
Two devices will need to be delivered to courts in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape, Limpopo and Western Cape, while the Free State requires one and the Eastern Cape, three.
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10:
- The City of Cape Town is calling for the supply, installation and maintenance of biometric clocking devices and solutions. It notes it employs approximately 30 000 permanent staff members, 25 000 EPWP temporary employees and has more than 1 000 workplaces in a geographical area cross the Western Cape.
Eskom is calling for the supply and installation of telephone kiosks for the Eastern Cape coastal cluster. The project is aimed at strengthening the province’s operating unit’s relationship with customers by making the telephony channel more accessible to customers. Customer kiosks equipped with hotlines will be installed at 14 Eskom sites to provide customers with access to its services via the contact centre at no cost to the customer.
Broadband Infraco returns this week to update last week’s quotation request for assistance with the I-ECS licence transfer application process to a tender. The new invitation expands the scope of work to include DSA application until completion (urgent deadline); engagements with third-parties as necessary to have a successful application; engagements with ICASA; SDIC spectrum application and business case preparation and submission; regulatory and legal inputs on matters; and documents preparation and subsequent responses.
The State Information Technology Agency (SITA) is looking for a licence agreement for a workload automation software solution, which will be used for automating the scheduling and processing of business workflows across various platforms and applications for the Numerus and Centurion data centres. SITA says the software is entrenched into the daily operations of various data centres and contributes significantly towards its ability to deliver efficient services.
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) requires consulting services to assist one of its beneficiary companies with the implementation of ISO27001:2018 information security management systems towards certification by third-party bodies. The CSIR says the company is already certified to ISO9001:2015 quality management system and wishes to integrate the two-management system as part of the strategic alignment to the changing business environment.
KwaZulu-Natal’s Department of Sports, Arts and Culture wishes to appoint a service provider to supply an internet connectivity solution to 170 provincial public libraries. The department notes that connectivity at public libraries plays a critical role in the provision of internet access for citizens of the province, and further enables public libraries to use the automated library system to manage the movement of books and other library materials in all public libraries in the province.
Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality closes the issue with an advertisement for the provision of data internet. At the time of writing, the municipality had yet to publish the relevant documentation on its website, but assured that it would.
