President Cyril Ramaphosa's weekend announcement that the whole country would move to level three restrictions was good news for the ICT sector, seeing many of its customers returning to operations. For those that target government spend, however, the news was doubly good as a return to work for the public sector means that procurement operations will also see activity.
This week's National Tender Bulletin, while skimpy in appearance, strongly favours the ICT sector. The Presidency opens the issue with a request through the State IT Agency (SITA) for network access control and a service level agreement.
SITA itself is particularly busy this week with two new tenders advertised in addition to that for the Presidency. It has also trawled through its outstanding tenders and eventually published official notices of cancellations of some 10 tenders dating back as far as the 2017 financial year.
The Medical Research Council of South Africa provides the advertisement of note this week with its request of wide area network connectivity services. In this era of the coronavirus, the council is the only organisation to include a briefing session for its tender, albeit non-compulsory.
