Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to appoint a qualified service provider to provision, support, maintain, and manage a hosted disaster recovery site for the National Development Agency (NDA) over a period of 36 months. The solution aims to enhance the NDA’s operational resilience by establishing a robust Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) platform that ensures continuity, recoverability, and security of critical systems in the event of disasters, cyber incidents, or ICT failures. Additionally, the project seeks to ensure compliance with relevant legislation such as POPIA and the National Cloud Policy, and to enable regular testing, monitoring, and reporting of disaster recovery processes.

Scope

The scope of work includes:

  • Provision, support, maintenance, and management of a locally hosted disaster recovery environment within South Africa.
  • Design and implementation of a DRaaS platform covering critical NDA systems, including Microsoft 365, virtual/cloud environments, and core business applications.
  • Development of disaster recovery plans aligned with the 2025 ICT Disaster Recovery Business Impact Analysis (BIA) Report.
  • Conducting quarterly disaster recovery testing, including failover simulations, documentation, and improvement recommendations.
  • Ongoing monitoring, management, and support of the DRaaS environment, including dashboards, alerts, and SLA adherence.
  • Provision of ad hoc services up to 15% of the contract value, with prior agreement and documented costs.
  • Enter into a comprehensive SLA covering uptime (minimum 99.9%), incident response, escalation procedures, and penalties.
  • Ensure compliance with legislation such as POPIA, ISO/IEC 27001, and NDA internal policies.

Technical Requirements

The technical requirements encompass:

  • Design and architecture of the DRaaS platform, including network setup, storage replication, security controls, and failover capabilities.
  • Integration with NDA’s existing virtual environments (VMware, Hyper-V) and cloud services (Microsoft 365).
  • Implementation of automated failover and recovery procedures to meet specified RTO/RPO objectives.
  • Provision of detailed disaster recovery plans, architecture diagrams, backup and replication workflows.
  • Quarterly disaster recovery testing with documented results, screenshots, and updated runbooks.
  • Continuous monitoring dashboards, alerts, and SLA compliance reports.
  • Provision of training methodology and support for NDA staff.
  • Hosting environment must be within South Africa, with verifiable proof of data center location and compliance with local data protection laws.

Skills Requirements

The successful bidder must demonstrate:

  • Proven experience in designing, implementing, and managing DRaaS solutions, with at least three references of similar projects within the last five years.
  • Technical expertise in virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V), cloud integration (Microsoft 365), and disaster recovery architecture.
  • Capability to conduct regular disaster recovery testing, develop detailed runbooks, and provide comprehensive reports.
  • Strong understanding of relevant legislation such as POPIA, ISO/IEC 27001, and cybersecurity standards.
  • Partnerships or certifications with OEMs such as VEEAM, Fortinet, VMware, or Microsoft, supported by official certificates or partnership agreements.
  • Ability to develop and implement SLA management, incident escalation, and support processes.
  • Experience in training and knowledge transfer to NDA staff for ongoing disaster recovery management.

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements
