  "summary": "The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) in South Africa is advertising a tender to establish a dedicated ICT portfolio management office (PMO) aimed at overseeing its digital transformation programme. The department cites fragmented planning, overlapping initiatives, and inconsistent project delivery practices as reasons for the need for centralised governance. The tender offers an initial 36-month period with an option to extend by another 24 months, contingent on performance and funding availability. The DHA plans to utilise existing Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft 365, Project, Planner, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, SharePoint, and Teams to create an integrated portfolio management environment. The successful bidder will be tasked with developing governance frameworks, establishing portfolio processes, and implementing reporting. The move comes in response to the DHA's several digital initiatives, including the National Identity System, electronic travel authorisation, secure border management technologies, and automated immigration systems, which require stronger centralised governance and portfolio oversight.",
