This week’s top tenders see a strong showing from national government, with half of the notices coming from the public sector’s uppermost levels, However, it is the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture (DSAC) that stands out with its selection of requirements.
The department kicks off its tenders with a request for the conceptualisation, design, development, implementation and maintenance of a sport information management system (SIMS) with geographic information system (GIS) integration.
It says the lack of up-to-date information on various facets of the South African sport system negatively impacts the ability of government and key stakeholders to plan effectively for the development of sport and recreation at all levels.
This has led to multiple key problems and challenges in departmental programmes and at a macro sport level, it adds.
The relational database management system is expected to cover the relevant and related data of athletes, sport coaches, sport technical officials, sport technical support personnel, sport administrators, sport specialists, sport facilities and infrastructure, school sport athletes, and a registration portal for all of the above, as well as school sport programmes and sports events organised by DSAC.
In a second software development request, DSAC is advertising for the conceptualisation, design, development, implementation and maintenance of a public entities reporting system. This is required for the department’s 28 public entities, as well as six non-profit organisations (NPOs) that receive funding from DSAC.
“The public entities as well as the NPOs have to report to the department regarding the agreed targets, as well as accountability of the funds received,” the department says.
The desired solution will include an analytics module, early warning functionality, document repository, security module, digital signatures for public entity chairpersons and CEOs, and workspaces for public entities. The contract also requires the development of a user manual and training for system administrators and users.
Finally, the department is looking for a service provider to supply IT governance services. The project will include the review of DSAC’s corporate governance of ICT framework documents and aligning them to the latest version; performance of a COBIT 2019 process maturity assessment; development of an ICT architecture that is informed by enterprise architecture; development of a roadmap to guide DSAC on implementation of all 40 COBIT 2019 processes to at least maturity level three; and reviewing existing ICT policies, plans and procedures, and developing new ICT policies, plans and procedures aligned with COBIT 2019.
