Procurement Information
Due to delays in the project, it has become necessary to extend the services of the current consultants and engage additional support relating to migration and report writing in order to meet the required timelines. The result of this extension of the project timelines, the original anticipated value of the contract will now exceed the tendering threshold. Due to their experience and intimate knowledge and familiarity with the project and there by providing the most appropriate candidates the University wishes to retain the services of Real Staffing for this purpose. It is anticipated the value should not exceed PS500k in total, but this is an estimate at this point in time.
