Data Subscription Services (Economic Data Management)

The Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDAT) intends to appoint a service provider to provide specialist subscription services to support the sourcing, acquisition, supply, and maintenance of economic data and intelligence subscriptions over a 3-year period of the service provider's service level agreement. This includes comprehensive international and South African macro-economic data and analysis, thematic data (e.g., tourism, maritime, venture capital), news and analysis platforms, and general cross-cutting information subscriptions such as academic databases and legal research platforms, as detailed in Table 1 of the Terms of Reference. Bidders must submit proposals inclusive of VAT before the bid closing date and time, be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD), and for Joint Ventures/Consortiums, each party must be tax compliant and provide a WCBD 4. Bidders must also confirm in a signed letter their ability to supply the types of subscriptions listed in Table 1 of the Terms of Reference.
