ICT tenders: Procurement pull back

Johannesburg, 13 Aug 2020

The National Tender Bulletin loses its bulk this week as government procurement comes under the looking glass, following allegations of corruption during the period of the COVID-19 lockdown.

The State IT Agency, however, continues its increased level of tender activity with four new opportunities, providing the ICT sector with a relative boost.

Software requests lead the issue, followed closely by the services sector which has a number of interesting opportunities to consider. The hardware sector, on the other hand, is almost forgotten with only one tender. Telecommunications continues to attract attention with three new requests.

This week's notice of interest comes from National Treasury as it once again announces it is establishing the third batch of the Government Technical Advisory Centre (GTAC) panel of professional service providers.

In closing, the issue reveals the cancellation of five outstanding tenders and six awards.
