National Treasury has eliminated decentralized Microsoft procurement, requiring all government entities to purchase through SITA. This creates a single procurement channel for Microsoft products and services across the entire public sector.
Suppliers can no longer approach individual departments for Microsoft-related contracts; all opportunities now flow through SITA's centralized procurement process.
All Microsoft procurement centralized through SITA with Treasury approval required for any exceptions.
This centralization will reduce duplicate procurement, standardize pricing, and create larger consolidated contracts, potentially favoring larger resellers with SITA framework agreements.
Microsoft resellers and service providers must now engage with SITA rather than individual departments; opportunities for large-scale enterprise agreements and framework contracts increase.
Suppliers risk non-compliance if they continue direct department engagements; all Microsoft-related bids must align with SITA's centralized requirements.
