The financial status of South Africa's municipalities has had much media attention of late; therefore, it is unsurprising that this week's National Tender Bulletin sees National Treasury taking action.
The pair of tenders opens with a request from the Government Technical Advisory Centre for a team of specialists to conduct functionality audits on municipal financial systems. At the same time Treasury is looking for a service provider for the support, maintenance and further development of the Local Government Database and Reporting System.
The main body of the edition sees the services sector receiving a boost in interest from government. A number of these requests go beyond the usual support and maintenance contracts as the public sector finds a need for consulting and even research services. The software sector follows with opportunities in the double digits and the hardware sector attracting above average interest. Telecommunications solutions are also in demand with a total of four advertisements.
Aside from National Treasury's input, this week's notice of interest comes from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. The organisation has decided to withdraw a previous tender for student laptops and issue a new call for bids.
