ICT tenders: Early starters delight

By Kimberley Guest
Johannesburg, 07 Jan 2021

After a particularly trying 2020, the new year kicks off with many opportunities for early starters to bite their teeth into.

The State IT Agency opens the year with four advertisements. This includes an invitation to participate in a transversal tender for outright purchases for personal computers, mobile devices and services; as well as computer peripherals, consumables and services. The successful recipients will hold their place as government suppliers for a period of three years.

National government is also represented, with contributions coming in from the departments of Public Enterprises; Social Development; Defence and Military Veterans; Environmental Affairs; and Police. Other notable participants include the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa; the Electoral Commission; South African Revenue Service; and the South African Local Government Association.

Software opportunities lead the issue with 19 requests, followed closely by services with 16. Hardware also attracts above average interest with eight advertisements, while the telecommunications sector has two tenders to consider.
