National Treasury’s eTender Portal bounces back this week, with over 800 tenders and quotation requests posted on the platform. Given the state of South Africa’s roads, however, it is a tender from the Department of Transport that is likely to attract the most attention.
In the tender documentation, the department notes that in order to effectively manage road assets, it is necessary to have a complete inventory of the assets to be modelled. Once the inventory is established, the condition of the asset can be determined.
“Road authorities are becoming increasingly financially constrained and there is a need to find smarter ways of managing their assets,” it says.
For this reason, the department is looking for a service provider or consultant to develop a road asset management central data repository. This solution can be used by road authorities to apply a rational approach to asset management and provide a way of calculating which outputs can be delivered for the available funding in a sustainable way.
The desired solution must improve the capability of the department in managing its road assets and prioritising investments in a manner that is suitable for attracting funding. It must also support the department with significant computation for data processing and storage, maintenance and investment strategies or scenarios, and graphical display.
The deliverables include the development of an inclusive road prioritisation model looking into the “political imperatives”, mostly social-economic, that can be used in conjunction with return on investment.
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10 include:
