The ICT sector benefits from another notably busy week for the National Tender Bulletin; despite minimal appearance from national government and no provincial government representation at all.
The edition is dominated by services requests followed by a jump in hardware interest. Both sectors attract advertisements in the double digits. Software tenders, on the other hand, experience a marked decline.
Moving to the close of the bulletin, government has been busy tying up outstanding tenders, resulting in four cancellations and eight awards.
This week's entries of interest include a new call from the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa for an integrated business and IT service continuity solution with fully integrated offsite data backup and protection. Meanwhile, the national Department of Water and Sanitation has awarded an R8.6 million contract to Jovansoft for a mobile phone based incident response activation system.
