ICT Tenders: Consultants back on call.
ICT Tenders: Consultants back on call.

The National Tender Bulletin is slightly thinner this week, reflecting the distraction of last week's mini budget on public sector operations. Government's interest in ICT requirements, however, remains buoyant.

The software sector, which normally attracts the greatest demand, takes a back seat this week, attracting only four advertisements. The services sector dominates the edition, with half of the opportunities on offer.

The past decade has seen controversy surrounding the extent of government's use of consultants and the resulting costs. In response, national Treasury implemented control measures in the public sector in an effort to eradicate wasteful expenditure.

What started out as orders to government to reduce its spend on consultants has progressed over the years to specific limitations being placed on recruitment of new services, as well as renewal of existing contracts.

The ICT industry has certainly felt the impact of these restrictions. Although diminished, the public sector still requires support and maintenance services. The lucrative consulting contracts that were so popular at the start of the century, however, have declined sharply in both scope and quantity.
