The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) is seeking quotations for the development of a comprehensive ISO 56000/1 Support Programme aimed at enhancing innovation strategies within municipalities. This initiative is essential for municipalities to align their operations with international innovation management standards, thereby fostering effective and sustainable innovation practices.
The scope of work includes the creation of detailed guidelines and templates that will assist municipalities in assessing their innovation maturity and achieving compliance with ISO standards. Additionally, the selected service provider will be responsible for training SALGA staff on these guidelines and conducting a pilot assessment with at least one municipality to ensure practical application and staff empowerment. This project is expected to be completed within a 7 to 8 week timeframe, providing municipalities with the tools necessary to implement meaningful innovation strategies effectively.
This tender is suitable for consulting firms with expertise in ISO standards, particularly ISO 56000 and ISO 9000 series, as well as those with experience in training and capacity building within public sector environments.
