ICT tenders: Something for everyone

South Africa's looming lockdown is yet to be reflected in the pages of the National Tender Bulletin and it is unclear at this stage whether the Government Printing Works will continue to produce the National Tender Bulletin in the weeks to come.

Nevertheless, the need for technology procurement will remain within the public sector as is borne out in this week's bulletin.

The latest edition offers almost equal opportunities across all sectors of the ICT industry, including telecommunications. The results section also shows that government has been assigning the last of its 2019/20 budgets with five tenders being awarded. Cancellations remain low with only two tenders scrapped.
