ICT tenders: Tying up loose ends

Johannesburg, 04 Feb 2021

With the public sector's financial year close approaching, government focus has turned to putting its affairs in order. Accordingly, this week's National Tender Bulletin sees common requirements taking a back seat to the proliferation of advertisements for auditing services.


While new opportunities for the ICT sector experience a decline, the results section does see an increase amounting to 11 awarded contracts. Cancellations on the other hand, remain low key. with four tenders being binned.

An almost equal demand for software and services lead the issue, however, neither manages to make it to the double digits. Hardware, meanwhile, sees a drop in interest with only three advertisements.

The telecommunications sector is also represented in the issue, with two advertisements, including a request from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority for a MPLS and APN solution. This should come in handy for the regulator if the media interest in Ivermectin for treatment of Covid-19 is matched by section 21 applications from doctors for its use.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development appears to be making progress with the roll-out of its Integrated Case Management System and now wishes to purchase 400 scanners to support the solution. 

The Department of Basic Education, on the other hand, is creating a database of providers that can assist school governing bodies to conduct electronic elections in the coming three years. 

Finally, the South African Social Security Agency is advertising for the implementation of a demilitarised zone for its public facing applications.
