Objectives

The primary objective is to renew the existing software licenses for the Netwrix Auditing Tool to ensure uninterrupted monitoring, auditing, and change-tracking of critical server environments for a twelve-month period.

Scope of Work

• Renew current Netwrix licenses while maintaining the exact same number of covered servers.
• Provide continued support and maintenance for the auditing tool over a fixed twelve-month contract term.
• Cover auditing of user account behaviors, permission changes, and activity logs across Active Directory, file servers, and Microsoft Exchange servers.
• Submit a separate, detailed price schedule with a full cost breakdown.
• Payment will be processed within thirty days of receipt of a valid tax invoice upon completion/renewal.

Technical Requirements

• Licenses must be renewed for the identical server count currently in use; reductions are not permitted.
• The solution must remain fully compatible with existing Active Directory, file storage, and Exchange Server infrastructures.
• Bids must remain valid for sixty calendar days from the closing date and time.
• Suppliers must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and demonstrate active tax compliance status.
• All submissions must include completed standard procurement compliance forms, including B-BBEE verification certificates or sworn affidavits, declarations of interest, and independent bid determination certificates.

Skills Requirements

As this tender is strictly a software license renewal and maintenance agreement, no specialized technical implementation, system integration, or consulting skills are required. Providers must possess standard commercial and administrative capabilities to manage license entitlements, deliver digital activations or keys, and ensure compliance with corporate procurement, tax, and transformation reporting standards.

Key Terms & Complicated Elements

• PPPFA Preference Point System (80/20): Evaluations allocate 80% of scoring to price competitiveness and 20% to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) goals. Ten points are awarded for companies that are 51% or more Black-owned, and ten points for those that are 30% or more Black-woman-owned. Valid B-BBEE certificates (issued by SANAS-approved agencies or IRBA-registered auditors) or sworn affidavits are mandatory to claim these points.
• Central Supplier Database (CSD): A national government registry used to centrally verify supplier legitimacy, financial standing, and tax compliance. Registration is compulsory before bid submission.
• Standard Bidding Documents (SBDs): Mandatory statutory forms covering conflict of interest declarations, past supply chain management practices, and independent bid certification to legally prevent collusive bidding or bid-rigging.
• Post-Tender Negotiations: The client reserves the contractual right to enter into negotiations after initial evaluation if deemed necessary to optimize value or clarify terms.
