ZIMSTAT wants 20 SAS 9.4 licence renewals on a one-year term and this notice carries a bid security of 500. Bids close 22 October 2026 at 10:00 CAT.

The agency is renewing SAS 9.4 licensing, with a quantity of 20 and a term of one year. The product and version are both named, which narrows it considerably. Two things are not settled. SAS licensing is counted in several ways — by named user, by server core, by module — and the notice does not say which the 20 refers to. Nor does it list which SAS modules are covered, and the difference between Base SAS and an analytics or statistics bundle is substantial. On the commercial side, this notice requires a bid security of 500, with the currency not stated in the listing. Bid validity is 90 days, under the competitive bidding method. The full tender document was not published where we can read it, so download it from the source before arranging the bid security.
