ICT tenders: No tech slow-down

Don't be put off by the thin appearance of the National Tender Bulletin as the ICT sector has its best week of the year.

The services sector leads this week, once again benefiting from strong interest in both hardware and software solutions. It’s not all support and maintenance requests though, with several tenders targeting skills, consulting and research and analysis.

The edition closes with a particularly busy cancellation section with 13 tenders nullified. Many of these tenders, however, are re-advertised in the main body of the bulletin. The results section is also busy with nine contracts being awarded. Of these, six come from the State IT Agency published under its own name and the name of customers, including a tender from 2017.
