ICT Tenders: Second best

ICT projects take a backseat to office accommodation and construction requirements in the latest edition of the National Tender Bulletin.

That which is on offer favours the software sector, with five advertisements, followed by services and hardware, with three opportunities a piece.

Closing off this week's bulletin is a notable announcement from the Council on Higher Education. The organisation initially awarded a tender for network support services to Bitrate IT Solutions; however, the company withdrew from its appointment and so the tender has gone to the second best bidder, Dataproof Communications, at a cost increase of 25%.
