The National Tender Bulletin delivers a far quieter week off last week's marathon of tenders. In this issue, the State IT Agency (SITA) comes to the party with four new tenders and awards a further two advertised during 2010 and 2011 respectively.

Worth noting are opportunities for the local software development industry. The Services SETA is advertising for IT skills to develop a system to conduct all business transactions of the SSETA in an integrated manner, and provide a management information reporting portal. The system is aimed for all SETAs and the needs of the Department of Higher Education Training (DHET), as well as South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).

The Mining Qualifications Authority, on the other hand, is looking for a service provider to design, develop, support and maintain a management information system.

Supplier database invitations

BANKSETA

The BANKSETA hereby invites businesses, particularly small and micro enterprises owned by women, youth and people with disabilities, to apply for registration to be included on BANKSETA's database as prospective suppliers. Preference will be given to registered suppliers when BANKSETA requests for quotations. However, it does not necessarily follow that those suppliers who are not registered will be precluded from quoting for the supply of goods and services to BANKSETA. It is envisaged that the supplier database will contribute to better and more efficient administration. The supplier database will be utilised in compliance with the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), the prescripts of the National Treasury relating to supply chain management (SCM), as well as BANKSETA's SCM Policy.

Note: Suppliers registered on this database are by no means guaranteed contracts for goods and/or services required by BANKSETA, nor does it imply that every supplier registered on the supplier database will in all instances be given the opportunity to provide a quotation to BANKSETA. It does, however, enable BANKSETA's SCM department to identify potential suppliers that can be approached to submit quotations to BANKSETA for goods and/or services as and when required.
