The second quarter of 2023 has been a quiet period for ICT tenders from national and provincial departments, with state-owned entities like Eskom and Transnet leading the technology charge.
This week’s edition, however, sees government departments stepping up with a variety of tech requests.
Starting at the highest level of government, the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) is advertising for Apple MacBooks, docking stations and warranty for the Presidency. The devices will assist communicators to meet operational requirements and update media clips, and assist with the effectiveness of digital communication, says SITA.
The Department of Water and Sanitation is looking for a professional service provider to conduct an audit on its IT infrastructure for its internal audit chief directorate. The decision to outsource this task was approved due to the technicality around this audit.
Mpumalanga’s Department of Finance requires an electronic submission system for a period of five years, with options to extend. The successful system will facilitate the process of drafting memos, forms, process flow and obtaining all necessary approvals electronically to “dramatically speed up and improve the auditability of decision-making throughout the department”.
Gauteng’s Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs is looking for a service provider for the development of phase three of its GIS-based dashboard system. This will expand the reach and scope of the GIS function.
The Eastern Cape Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform requires Cibecs maintenance and support for 36 months, as well as licences for endpoint protection and once-off certified training for six administrators. No additional information is provided and the department has yet to list the tender on its website.
Other tenders that make this week’s top 10 include:
- The South African Special Risks Insurance Association requires the implementation and support of a risk management solution. Its current system has limited functionality and does not cater for all the required risk management functions as per the standards and requirements of risk management, it says. This creates inefficiencies, as manual interventions must be used alongside the system, which ultimately creates additional work.
SITA returns with a request for an information security awareness solution for SITA and its clients for a period of three years. This is in line with the various requirements of its information security policy.
Sentech is once again looking to appoint a panel of installers or installation companies for the installation of domestic digital terrestrial television set-top boxes (STBs), direct-to-home STBs and an integrated digital television receive system. The panel is for KwaZulu-Natal and will run for a period of three years.
Transnet requires technical services to assist it with the migration from SAP ECC6 to SAP S4/Hana. The successful service provider will have the right level of expertise to strengthen its SAP modernisation plan and improve the quality of the design work to be undertaken before the build phase.
South African Airways closes the issue with a request for information on a modernised, integrated customer contact centre. The company notes it is considering a contact centre hybrid model through a mix of business process insourcing and outsourcing. The intention is to source a partner that would provide the resources, management, furnished facility and IT infrastructure that would support and be included in a modern, digitally-integrated contact centre set-up.
