ICT tender: Procurement recovery

Johannesburg, 23 Jul 2020

After months of minimalistic advertising, the National Tender Bulletin is eventually seeing an increase in activity. While the gazette is yet to regain its full pre-COVID bulk, this week's edition has much to offer the ICT industry.

The bulletin offers opportunities in the double digits for all sectors, led by services and followed closely by hardware and software requests. The State IT Agency (SITA) continues to feature dominantly, posting six advertisements this week under its own name as well as that of its clients.

The issue also sees a return of national departments to technology procurement. The Department of Social Development retains its activity levels from last week with four new advertisements and is joined by the Department of Home Affairs with two advertisements of its own.
