ICT tenders: Eskom makes a comeback

Kimberly Guest

Johannesburg, 19 Aug 2021

South Africa's embattled power utility, Eskom, has had a busy year when it comes to ICT procurement. Whether the state-owned entity's sudden high profile appearance is due to a renewed interest in technology or a historical preference not to advertise requirements in government's National Tender Bulletin is hard to say, as the organisation has recently launched a new site for its tenders which only extends back to May 2021.

Whatever the reason, Eskom has come to be one of the biggest advertisers for ICT this year, sometimes posting in excess of 10 invitations a week. This activity saw a drop off in July which extended into August with offered tenders down to as low as one in the beginning of the month.

This week, however, the utility is back with a bang as it advertises six tenders and a single request for information. Of the opportunities on offer it is the latter that could turn out to be most interesting. In the tender documentation Eskom admits that its current billing system contains “outdated, inaccurate and aged data for a large percentage of the customer base”. What's more, the telephone data is in “a mess” with some customers having as many as +10 phone numbers against their names, whereas other data fields are simply blank.

Sticking with matters of electricity, several local municipalities are trying to sort out their pre-paid systems as the current token identifier (TID) system will run out of numbers by November 2024. At this point, it is understood that existing pre-paid metres will simply stop accepting tokens. The necessary TID roll-over requires intervention at multiple levels including manufacturers, utilities, vendors, sub-vendors and of course at individual meters.

As for the rest of issue, tender numbers continue to rise with the services sector recording a jump in interest from 37 last week to 48. Software demand continues to lead, however, with 59 notices; followed by hardware with 33 requests; and telecommunications remaining stable with 10 tenders on offer.
