(b) BBI confirmed that Vukile Property Fund Limited was the only service provider to respond to the tender; and ICASA confirmed that it was not able to procure Microsoft licenses from any other supplier as Microsoft is the sole supplier.
Sentech confirmedthat there were 2 deviations from Normal procurement processes.
(i) ForNagravision – Nagravision has exclusive propriety ownership on all its hardware and software systems on the Sentech Network and are therefore sole providers for the requirement specified.
(ii) For Discover Digital –They are the owners of the OTT content management and distribution platform that Intelsat had presented to SENTECH as part of the OTT streaming services.
