Whether she and/or the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) have been informed of these two tenders (a) SAT154/19 for Google Marketing platform licence and implementation and (b) SAT149/20 for the provision of support and maintenance of a Microsoft CRM solution; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (i) did SITA participate in the tenders and (ii) what are the reasons that the agency was unsuccessful in securing the bids if SITA did participate?

I have been advised by the Department and SITA as follows:
