Debt Capital Market Infrastructure Services

The Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the provision of comprehensive debt capital market infrastructure and related issuer support services. This initiative aims to streamline processes associated with the issuance and management of debt instruments, ensuring that issuers can effectively manage auctions, private placements, and investor communications. Bidders must demonstrate capabilities in electronic investor onboarding, settlement orchestration, and compliance monitoring, among other critical functionalities.

The scope of work encompasses a wide range of services, including the establishment of a central system for record-keeping of issuance and settlement, support for both listed and unlisted South African debt instruments, and the provision of analytics related to fixed income pricing and investor behavior. Bidders are expected to provide a coherent operating model that integrates these services seamlessly, ensuring that the Land Bank can enhance its operational efficiency and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. This RFI represents an opportunity for firms with expertise in financial technology and capital markets to contribute to the development of a robust debt market infrastructure in South Africa.
