The tender seeks proposals for the provision of high-speed internet services to multiple regional offices across South Africa. Key requirements include a minimum bandwidth of 100 Mbps and the ability to manage and support the service effectively.
The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) is inviting proposals for the provision of internet services to its regional offices located in various cities across South Africa. The successful bidder will be required to deliver a minimum of 100 Mbps direct internet access bandwidth to each of the ten designated sites, ensuring reliable connectivity through fiber infrastructure. In cases where fiber is not feasible, alternative solutions such as Radio Frequency (RF) may be considered. The service provider must manage the installation, configuration, and ongoing support of the internet services, including technical support during business hours and next business day hardware replacement.
Bidders must demonstrate their capability by providing evidence of their own backbone network infrastructure and relevant experience in delivering similar services. The contract will be for a period of either three or five years, with the expectation that the appointed service provider will ensure operational continuity during the transition to their infrastructure. This tender not only aims to enhance the IDC's operational efficiency but also supports the promotion of emerging black-owned service providers through specific goals outlined in the evaluation criteria.
This tender is suitable for established Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with a proven track record in delivering high-speed internet solutions, particularly those with infrastructure capabilities and experience in managing multi-site networks.
