ICT tenders: Buying slowdown hits

The National Tender Bulletin is deceptively heavyset this week; however much of its content is made up of those companies that have been selected to participate in a schools feeding program.

Activity is minimal across all sectors and sections as government procurement goes through the traditional slowdown following the delivery of the National Budget Speech. This period tends to be brief, with activity ramping up in the weeks before the financial year ends on 31 March and in preparation for the new fiscal.

The software sector leads this week, followed by the services sector with complimentary requests for support and maintenance. All is not lost for the hardware sector; however, requests drop to three.
