While government's new year procurement enthusiasm appears to be ebbing, ICT solutions maintain a high level of demand. Of interest this week are several requests for specialist participation at national, provincial and organisational level.
National Treasury's Government Technical Advisory Centre is advertising for a knowledge and information management advisor to assist the Office of the Accountant General (OAG) in the implementation of the Municipal Finance Improvement Programme (MFIP).
Gauteng's Department of Economic Development, on the other hand, wishes to conduct an implementation evaluation of the Gauteng Innovation & Knowledge Economy Strategy.
Finally, the National Consumer Commission is looking for software development services for its opt-out register.
Software demands remain highest followed by requests for services, both of which have notices in the double digits. Hardware interests decline somewhat to four tender advertisements, which is matched by requests for telecommunication services.
