IT tenders

Government is one of South Africa's largest technology buyers, and IT tenders flow from every level of the state: SITA consolidates much of national and provincial ICT procurement, while municipalities, metros, state-owned companies and public entities buy directly. The category covers computer and server hardware, software licensing and development, network infrastructure and structured cabling, connectivity and VoIP, cybersecurity services, cloud and data centre capacity, printing and managed print services, audiovisual equipment, biometric and access systems, and ICT support with defined SLAs.

About it tenders

Technology tenders are functionality-heavy: buyers score OEM partnerships and certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet, VMware and similar), certified engineers named in the bid, reference sites and support methodology, often with a minimum functionality threshold before price is even considered. B-BBEE carries particular weight in ICT procurement, and many RFPs specify sub-contracting or supplier-development commitments. The baseline remains CSD registration, SARS tax compliance and completed SBD forms.

From million-rand infrastructure RFPs to same-week RFQs for laptops and licences, new ICT adverts hit the eTenders portal daily. TenderFinder captures each one and matches it to your keywords. Sign up free to view live IT tenders below and get new ones in your inbox each morning.

Pro feature

Read a tender pack in a minute, not an afternoon

Open any tender and choose Analyse with AI. You get a plain language breakdown built from the published notice and the documents themselves: what is being bought, the key dates, the eligibility gates, whether the briefing is compulsory, how preference points are scored, the returnable forms, the documents to gather, the submission mechanics and pricing rules, the disqualification risks, and a dated plan working backwards from the closing date.

It is built not to guess. It lists only the forms actually named in the material rather than the ones a tender of that type usually needs, tags each finding with its source, and flags what it could not read. Included on every plan, from 1 AI tender analysis a week on Free, each downloadable.

A real AI tender analysis showing a worth pursuing verdict with each finding labelled by source, above a panel listing the seven things that get a bid thrown out on this tender

A real analysis, not a mock-up. It is a working aid rather than legal or procurement advice: the official pack always wins.

Let it tenders come to you

Checking portals fails for a predictable reason: it competes with delivery work. The weeks you are busiest are the weeks you skip it, and those are the weeks a fitting tender is advertised with a three week window.

Set your keywords and provinces once and the adverts arrive instead of being fetched. Every plan includes a daily email.

Common questions

SITA handles much of national and provincial ICT buying, while metros, municipalities, SOEs like Eskom and Transnet, and entities such as SASSA and the NHLS procure directly. All publish through the eTenders portal.
