The department of land reform and rural development seeks a service provider to supply additional opentext data protector software licences and support for a three-year period. The procurement is a goods-and-services tender under the 80/20 preference-points system, with NO mandatory briefing session. Bidders must submit hard-copy bids to pretoria by 12 november 2026 at 11:00, and the single most consequential consideration is the strict specific-goals evidence requirement — failure to submit complete proof for ownership claims results in zero preference points, which will likely be decisive under the 80/20 formula.
