Request for Proposals (RFP) The provision of managed bandwidth links for the South African National Research Network (SANReN) Western Cape Garden Route Sites to the CSIR

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is seeking proposals for managed bandwidth links serving the South African National Research Network, SANReN, at sites in the Western Cape Garden Route. The buyer is the CSIR and the instrument is a request for proposal. The subject matter is network connectivity supplied and run on the buyer's behalf rather than equipment bought outright. Nothing in the material says how many links are required, what capacity each must carry, how long the service would run, what the budget is, how proposals will be assessed, or what a submission must contain. Those particulars are absent from the notice as supplied, so a bidder cannot judge fit or effort from the fields alone and would need the full document set.
