MN12/2026-27: PROVISION OF 150 MBPS MICROWAVE/ FIBER/ LTE BUSINESS INTERNET & BACKUP LINK FOR A PERIOD OF 24 MONTHS

Emadlangeni Local Municipality is seeking a supplier to provide business internet connectivity at 150 Mbps together with a backup link, over a two year period. The tender is issued as an open request for bid and covers services rather than goods or construction works. The connection is expected to be delivered over microwave, fibre or LTE, so the municipality has left the underlying technology open rather than prescribing a single medium. The requirement pairs a primary link with a redundant one, meaning the successful bidder would carry responsibility for continuity of service as well as raw bandwidth. Bidders should note that the published record consists of the title and administrative fields only. It does not set out the deliverables, the service levels, the sites to be connected, the equipment or installation obligations, the qualifications required of bidders, or the documents a submission must contain. Those details would sit in the bid document itself, which is not reproduced here. Nothing in the material states a budget or an estimated value. This notice will matter most to connectivity providers and managed network operators able to serve the municipality's area and to sustain a second link for failover.
