The Department has not awarded a contract on Inmate Tracking.
Procurement of IT infrastructure is managed by SITA, DCS was informed
that the tender could not be awarded owing to procurement related
problems. The Department has, as an alternative, successfully tested
Automated Personal Identification System (APIS) and will be installed in
17 ATDs facilities country wide.
