It’s a bumper week for National Treasury’s eTender Portal, with over 700 advertisements featuring on the site. The increase in traffic, however, is driven by demand for solar power and other power backup solutions.
Although the ICT sector is still experiencing a decline in interest, the latest edition features several tenders of interest, with a strong showing from national departments.
The Department of Home Affairs kicks off the issue with a request for the implementation of a business continuity management (BCM) process over a three-year period. The contract requires the successful service provider to update prescripts for approval; conduct business impacts and risk assessment analysis; design BCM strategy; implementation and validation; create awareness and transfer skills; and create an enabling environment for continued implementation, support and monitoring of BCM post the project.
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10 include:
- The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission returns this week with a request for a records/documents digitisation service. The commission notes in its tender documentation that in March 2023, its records/files were estimated to be at about 7.2 million (including paper and microfiche records).
The State Information Technology Agency (SITA) wishes to procure IP-Granite devices, software and licences with maintenance and support for a period of three years for e-Cabinet. SITA notes the IP-Granite VPN solution is used for the management and maintenance of all the network connections for its clients’ environment and ensures asecure connection between the e-Cabinet data centres and the endpoint users.
The Gauteng Department of e-Government continues its technology upgrades with an invitation for server hardware for domain controllers, distribution points servers and firewall for 36 months. The contract will include support and maintenance for a period of three years.
Gauteng’s Provincial Treasury follows with a request for robotic process automation (RPA) capabilities for the accounts payable supplier invoice processing across the provincial government. The goal of the project is to enhance the current e-invoicing system with RPA capabilities, or an alternative web-based system with the RPA capabilities, it says.
eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality says it requires the achievement of revenue management legislative compliance through the replacement of its current revenue management system, while addressing operational inefficiencies and compliance to the MSCOA framework in alignment to the legislation. The metro’s core business processes are required to ensure integration with the revenue value chain of the municipality and the billing processes and procedures; however, there is still a disjoint which the current system cannot maintain.
Staying with MSCOA requirements, eThekwini is advertising for a compliant cloud-based human capital management suite, including configuration, licensing, implementation and support for 36 months. The future of human capital requires new cutting-edge technologies to improve the employee experience and keep eThekwini Municipality competitive and at innovative advantage compared to similar industry setup, it says.
The metro is also calling for call centre storage and hardware maintenance. Its systems delivery and security services business units operate on virtualised technology hardware running VMware software to maintain and support the business needs. The eThekwini-wide call centre equipment is running on Huawei hardware technology, which is out of support maintenance, services and warranty, it says.
The Department of Health is looking for a service provider to manage, maintain, support and modernise its existing learning management system (LMS) for a period of three years. The LMS is a central, online platform connecting the public and private health workforce to relevant, high-quality, in-service training opportunities, the department says. It is led by the national Department of Health and is supported by provincial and district departments working to develop the capacity of all healthcare workers.
The Department of Defence requires a biometric key control system for the Air Transport and Maritime Systems Directorate. The system must be able to retain a full audit trail of key transactions, and bids are required to include training and a five-year maintenance plan.
The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development closes off the issue with an amendment to last week’s request for the review of the compliance monitoring and enforcement tool for the implementation of spatial planning and the Land Use Management Act. The deadline for this tender has been pushed out to 22 June.
