Provision of Microsoft Azure Cloud Hosting and Managed Support Services

The Quality Council for Trades and Occupations has issued a request for quotation for Microsoft Azure cloud hosting and managed support services. The notice appears on the South Africa National Treasury eTenders platform under reference 174577, with the source recording its own identifier as QCTO RFQ 24/2026. Responses are due by 2 November 2026, the notice having been published on 19 October 2026. The request is handled as a quotation rather than a full competitive tender, which usually indicates a shorter, more contained requirement, though the notice itself gives no value, no contract period and no indication of the volume of cloud infrastructure involved. The published material is limited to the heading, the issuing body, the procurement method and the dates. It does not set out the services the successful provider would deliver, the deliverables, the duration of any appointment, or the qualifications, experience and documents a respondent must submit. Anyone assessing this opportunity should treat the title as the only signal of subject matter and seek the quotation document itself before deciding whether to respond.
