It’s another busy week on National Treasury’s eTenders Portal, with around 800 new requests placed on the platform over the past week. The ICT industry fares well with municipalities, in particular, offering a range of opportunities, from quick wins, to more complex requirements.
The State Information Technology Agency (SITA) dominates the issue with four tenders making the top 10 list. Of these, two advertisements are on behalf of the South African Police Service (SAPS).
In the first, SITA is inviting bids for the provision of an incident management solution. The contract will run for 36 months and includes architecture, design, development, integration, migration, installation, configuration and testing.
“SAPS does not have a single integrated system to manage the registration of reported incidents. The management of reported incidents are performed by different systems on various technology platforms. The technology being used on certain systems are outdated and de-supported on the development platform,” the agency says.
The incident management solution is required to encapsulate the core business processes of SAPS to enable it to effectively and efficiently perform the functions required. The solution is required to manage, register and dispatch incidents reported by the general public through the 10111 emergency number, police station, 112 number and sector patrol vehicle’s cellphone number for police assistance.
In the second SAPS-focused tender, SITA is advertising for a service provider to supply, deliver, support and maintain body-worn and vehicle dashboard cameras and related software solutions.
“The procurement of body worn and vehicle dashboard cameras will provide visibility, while attending crime scenes/complaints and secure evidence for court. Body worn and vehicle dashboard cameras will enable the SAPS to respond appropriately to incidents through situational awareness made possible by live video feeds, and dispatching the relevant resources to incidents of crime and violence,” SITA explains.
Moving on to the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS), the agency is calling for the supply, configuration, installation and maintenance and support of Aruba local area network infrastructure for the department’s Pretoria head office.
“The DWS need to improve its efficiency, effectiveness, security and information reliability to deliver more – better, faster, and cost-effectively with the relevant controls in terms of best practice and good governance,” SITA states.
Finally, the agency is inviting bids for the procurement of a backup solution, including maintenance and support for unnamed clientfor a period of three years.
“A SITA client submitted a tasking for the supply, implementation, maintenance and support of backup solutions. The SITA client requires backups to be executed on a regular basis to ensure effective support and data recovery through support services to the SITA client and increase client satisfaction. SITA uses the backup solution to make sure standards are followed and that the servers are serviced and maintained,” it says.
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10:
- Eskom is calling for the provision of backup as a service (BaaS).
