In 2016 the OGP, in line with its mandate to establish central procurement arrangements, put in place a national framework agreement to provide public service bodies with ease of access to backup, recovery and replication software and associated reseller services. This framework expired on 29 July 2020.
The Covid-19 pandemic has seriously impacted day-to-day business operations for all organisations including the OGP. As a result, the process to establish a replacement framework for backup, recovery and replication software and associated reseller services was delayed.
