REQUEST FOR QUOTATION APPOINTMENT OF A SERVICE PROVIDER TO IMPLEMENT AND OPERATIONALISE DATA GOVERNANCE STRATEGY, FRAMEWORK AND DATA MANAGEMENT FOR SIX (6) MONTHS

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa intends to appoint a service provider to put a data governance strategy and framework into operation and to handle data management, over a period of six months. The engagement is classed as a services procurement. Beyond the title, the notice carries almost no operational detail. What the appointed provider would actually have to do, the deliverables it would hand over, how the work would be phased and where it would be carried out are not stated, and there is no indication of the value of the engagement or of how responses will be assessed. Nor does the material set out what a bidder must have or must submit. The only text the issuing body supplies alongside the title is a departmental reference code. A reader should work from the assumption that the scope will be defined in documents not included here.
