The Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) is inviting proposals from qualified service providers to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing Senior Management Service (SMS) competency assessment battery. This review aims to identify gaps, enhance the assessment tools, and ensure alignment with current public service needs and best practices. The successful provider will be responsible for analyzing the current assessment methods, consulting with stakeholders, and recommending improvements that will lead to more effective evaluations of managerial competencies.

The scope of work includes a thorough analysis of the existing competency framework, stakeholder engagement to gather insights, and the development of a revised assessment battery that incorporates modern methodologies and technologies. The project is expected to be completed within a specified timeframe, with the final deliverables including a detailed report and updated assessment tools. This initiative is crucial for enhancing the quality of leadership within the public sector, ensuring that senior managers are equipped with the necessary skills and competencies to lead effectively.

By participating in this tender, service providers will contribute to the strengthening of public administration in South Africa. The successful implementation of the revised competency assessment will not only improve individual performance but also enhance overall organizational effectiveness within the public service sector. Providers with expertise in competency assessments, human resources, and public administration are encouraged to apply.
