ICT tenders: New fiscal readiness

Johannesburg, 18 Mar 2020

With the financial year coming to a close at the end of the month, the public sector is preparing to start off the 2020/21 season with a bang.

Hardware is favoured this week with a slant towards networking and telephony. Software and services receive equal interest with eight requests each.

Moving to the close of the bulletin, this week's issue sees five cancellations most of which are re-advertised by the Electoral Commission in the main body. Awards remain low-key with just two tender contracts being announced.
