While the ICT sector largely operated on skeleton staff for the year-end break, National Treasury’s eTender portal remained active, with all levels of government continuing to post technology requirements.
The hardware sector, in particular, will be particularly pleased with the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development advertising tenders for 2 014 laptops and 3 157 desktops to be deployed to different sites nationally, within a period of one year from date of Letter of Award.
The Road Accident Fund follows with a request for the rental of end-user equipment on a managed services basis for a period of five years. The organisation notes it is currently transitioning into a new operating model which will be dependent on end-user equipment.
“With the proposed hybrid model, it will be imperative for all employees to have efficient and effective end user equipment (EUE). End User Computing seeks to employ the services of an external ICT service provider/s with the capability to service a national footprint to provide rental of EUE and support on SLA for a period of five (5) years,” it says.
The RAF estimates it will require 3 293 laptops, desktops and mini PCs and 2 740 peripherals in the way of monitors and both wired and wireless keyboards and mice.
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10 include:
