Activity on National Treasury’s eTender Portal rebounded quickly following finance minister Enoch Godongwana’s tabling of the 2024 Budget Speech in Parliament.
Pointing out that “the size of the pie is not growing fast enough to meet our developmental needs”, Godongwana’s budget targeted R150 billion from the Gold and Foreign Exchange Contingency Reserve Account to help lower government’s debt burden.
Following a year of extreme weather events in several provinces, Godongwana also noted a multi-layered risk-based approach was being developed to manage the associated fiscal risks of intensifying climate-related disasters.
“National Treasury is reviewing disaster response grants to improve efficiency and create incentives for disaster planning, preparedness and risk reduction. It is also developing a climate-budget tagging framework to influence policy, planning and budget decisions, by tracking climate-related expenditures in public budgets,” he said.
Against this backdrop, two municipal tenders stand out this week.
Up first is a request for a disaster and fire incident information management system for the Overberg District Municipality. The district governs the four local municipalities of Cape Agulhas, Overstrand, Swellendam and Theewaterskloof in the Western Cape.
KwaZulu-Natal’s Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Local Municipality follows with a request for the supply, delivery and installation of a disaster management communication and information system.
A non-refundable fee of R400 and R476, respectively, is required to access the bid documents.
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10 include:
