SARS
Question 1 response
The SARS ICT Infrastructure is used to provide both support functions as well as enabling core business functions (processes). It is a heterogeneous infrastructure landscape consisting of various technology architectures sourced through formal procurement vehicles.
The SARS strategy for ICT infrastructure renewal is based on a rolling upgrade cycle in terms of infrastructure that reaches end of life in a fiscal year. This is used to request budget but actual implementation is subject to final budget approval that is not guaranteed.
Renewal of infrastructure and providing infrastructure support is categorised and handled in the following ways:
SARS follows formal procurement process to establish ICT service provider towers for a minimum of 3 years. Each tower has a formally appointed vendor for the provisioning of ICT services within that category:
Tower |
Scope |
Service Provider |
D |
Data Carrier Services |
IS |
V |
Voice Carrier Services |

I |
Internet and Hosting Services |

SMS |
SMS Carrier Services |
MTN & Telkom |
N |
Network Support Services |
Sizwe |
S |
Server Support Services |
Gijima |
E |
End-user Device Support Services |
Sizwe |
From an infrastructure refresh perspective, SARS uses the appointed vendors listed above in combination with formal procurement tenders established by the State Information Technology Agency (SITA Transversals), SARS administered tenders as well as formally approved National Treasury tenders and exemptions to refresh ICT infrastructure that has reached replacement status for each fiscal year.
In terms of question 1) above the following ICT Infrastructure was updated/upgraded.

The 2018/19 infrastructure expenditure does not show current projects in execution as this is only shown upon project completion. One such example is the renewal of the eFiling infrastructure and migration to the new data centre with a total estimated value of R 197 m. Another example is the equipment for the Disaster Recovery Facilities with a total estimated value of R54m. Both these projects are expected to be completed in April 2019.
