ICT tenders: Roaring back

Johannesburg, 28 Jan 2021

Government procurement officers have moved into high gear again following last week's slump in activity.

The software sector is particularly popular in the latest edition and includes demand for software development, customisation and enhancements. Hardware follows with notices targeting offerings across computing, networking, peripherals, server and storage. Services, on the other hand, sees a slight dip in interest.

The State IT Agency also returns to the bulletin with two new tenders on offer, four cancellations and a single software award valued at R670 000. These add to a busy results section as a total of eight outstanding tenders get cancelled and six resulting in contract negotiations.

New tenders

Department of Defence
The Waterkloof Air Force Base requires supply and delivery of a conference system with recording and a public address set (PA system). The conference system is a system on its own but must be able to work with the PA system if needed. The public address system is to be separated into two parts: the main system, which will house the majority of the equipment; and a standby system, which will house essentials. These systems are to be installed into 19” vertical flight cases with lockable caster wheels or similar. The SA Air Force reserves the right to request a demonstration of the offered system outdoors as well as inside an aircraft hanger before final awarding of contract.
