The public sector has entered its annual period of high activity as 2020 draws to a close.
This week's National Tender Bulletin has numerous opportunities for the industry to consider with advertisements for software, hardware and services in the double digits. The telecoms sector also receives interest with four tenders going its way, while the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) again advertises for assistance with the development of the review of the National Radio Frequency plan, this time under a new tender number.
The issue also sees an emerging trend in government for interest in technology-assisted access control and forensic services.
After last week's record showing, the State IT Agency (SITA) has only one new tender on offer. Nevertheless, this is for the transversal contract for the provision of personal computers, mobile devices and services, as well as computer peripherals, consumables and services to government departments for a period of three years. Apart from this, the agency issues corrections to three tender advertisements and adds a single cancellation.
SITA still features in the awards section though, snaring a contract from the Council for Geoscience for the provision of server accommodation facilities to house disaster recovery infrastructure.
