ICT tenders: SITA steams ahead

This week's slim edition of the National Tender Bulletin turns out to be surprisingly promising for the ICT sector. 

With the public sector's new financial year kicking off today, procurement officers across all levels of government are evidently eager to get the most out of the freshly replenished coffers. Despite the Government Printing Work's required lead time for submission of advertisements all but two of the tenders deadline after the COVID-19 lockdown is scheduled to end. Any amendments to scheduled briefings and closing dates are expected to appear in upcoming editions.

The State IT Agency opens this week's bulletin with an encouraging rush of new opportunities which will please the ICT industry. Interestingly, half of the advertisements are made on behalf of the South African Police Service, perhaps demonstrating that the organisation is making headway in improving its customer relationships. Nevertheless, this issue also features three national government departments that have opted to sidestep the agency and engage directly with the marketplace.

Software interest leads this week, followed closely by notices in the double digits for hardware. Demand for services experiences an unusual lag.

The results section also sees increased activity reflecting the last minute decisions made before the close of the financial year.
