ICT tenders: Knowledge on tap

Johannesburg, 18 Sept 2020

The National Tender Bulletin had a little less on offer for the ICT sector last week, but has not pulled back enough as yet to cause concern. Requests for knowledge stand out in this edition with advertisements of note issued by both the State IT Agency (SITA) and National Treasury.


SITA issued five new tenders listed under its own name and that of the Department of Defence. Two of these attract attention with the first calling for industry engagement on a SITA security operation centre solution as well as a funding model. Given its role in managing, moving and securing government data, this is a critical project. 

In the second, the agency says it wants to set up a panel of research and academic institutions to provide knowledge and insight “in line with the strategic and operational initiatives of the agency and government”. Given the fast pace of development in the ICT sector, this panel will need to provide government with the most relevant information to ensure the public sector does not fall behind the curve.

Sadly, the agency also announces that it has cancelled its tender for a legal practice management solution system for the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.

National Treasury, meanwhile, is advertising for the fourth batch of professional service providers to make up the Government Technical Advisory Centre (GTAC) panel. The centre was established to support public finance management through professional advisory services, programme and project management and transaction support. This focus often includes the use and efficiency of technology across government.

Interestingly, the security certificate on GTAC's Web site expired a week ago.
