Undisclosed
UCAA is procuring a full datacentre virtualisation solution for its IT infrastructure — one of the most technically specialised opportunities in this issue. Aviation-sector IT procurement in East Africa is relatively rare, and contracts of this nature typically carry multi-year support and maintenance arrangements beyond the initial deployment.
Who should bid: System integrators and virtualisation platform vendors with experience deploying VMware, Nutanix, Microsoft Azure Stack HCI, or equivalent hyperconverged stacks. Experience in regulated or critical infrastructure environments is a strong differentiator. UCAA will expect robust SLA commitments given the mission-critical nature of aviation IT systems.
FAO Ethiopia is seeking a qualified supplier to provide ongoing maintenance support for its Alcatel PABX telephone system at the FAO country office in Addis Ababa. Scope typically covers preventive maintenance, fault response, and spare parts supply over the contract period.
Who should bid: Telecoms equipment suppliers and service companies with Alcatel/Nokia enterprise telephony experience. FAO operates across all seven EATT-covered countries — strong performance here positions vendors well for follow-on contracts at other FAO East Africa offices.
