Top ICT tenders: Eskom targets professional IT services

Eskom has submitted a request for IT professional services on an as-needed basis, according to the National Treasury's eTenders Portal. The utility aims to address current IT capacity and skills constraints without delaying project execution or negatively impacting the delivery of its business separation program. Eskom's request covers information security services, specifically operational technology (OT) cyber security controls, business solution and development services, and IT governance services.

For information security services, Eskom seeks operational technology (OT) cyber security controls management and response to OT cyber security threats. This involves managing and responding to OT cyber security threats in an effective and timely manner, protecting and ensuring the integrity of computing assets connected to an Eskom network.

For business solution and development services, Eskom aims to improve the delivery of IT solutions, currently facing delays. Lastly, Eskom requires IT governance services to ensure the right foundation is established, alleviate current operational issues, and empower employees to establish a Master Data Management function. The utility will hold a non-compulsory briefing over Microsoft Teams on September 14, before submissions close on September 25.
