It’s an interesting selection of tender advertisements this week, with opportunities across the ICT industry.
The State IT Agency dominates the issue with three requests for supply and maintenance of networking infrastructure for the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment for a period of five years; procurement of solution design, migration and software development services for a firearms control solution for the South African Police Service; and hosting, maintenance, development and support of the Western Cape Education Department ePortal.
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) will also draw attention with its intention to appoint a panel of ICT regulatory experts to support it in the execution of its regulatory mandate. The regulator’s tender documentation reveals this panel will be expected to assist with data and statistical model validation, research papers or presentations, as well as reviews of drafts, data collection tolls/portal; and act as an expert on economic and technical issues relevant to its work.
ICASA expects the panel to provide reliable data or information that contributes towards the “growth and development of the South African ICT sector” as well as research papers or presentations on technology, customers, competitors, economics, costing and trends analysis.
The panel is also expected to assist ICASA with a full range of issues relating to:
- Regulatory and competition economics.
- Regulatory cost accounting, cost analysis and cost modelling.
- Regulatory compliance monitoring and management.
- Regulatory consumer protection and advocacy.
- Engineering, licensing, numbering, type-approval, spectrum and other technical related matters.
