ICT tenders: Software demand returns

After weeks of lacklustre interest, requests for software once again dominate the technology notices in the National Tender Bulletin.

With new tenders in the double digits, the software sector receives much to consider again; including interest in software development and open source solutions. Services remains in its position as second fiddle, fielding multiple calls for support and maintenance. Hardware, meanwhile, continues to attract fair demand.

Most active in this issue of the National Tender Bulletin is the State Information Technology Agency, posting three new tenders under its own name and one under the auspices of The Presidency.
