The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), working with the State Information Technology Agency (SITA), has concluded the process to appoint a service provider for the design, implementation, maintenance, and support of the Mining Licensing System.
The outcome of the adjudication identified PMG Consortium as the recommended bidder to provide the mining licensing system, which is commonly referred to as the Cadastre.
PGM Consortium is a conglomeration of three companies namely, Pacific GeoTech Systems, MITS Institute and Gemini GIS and Environmental Services.
• Pacific GeoTech Systems (PGTS) has more than 23 years’ experience in delivering
online enterprise resource management systems in jurisdictions such as British Columbia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Ontario, and Yukon, Canada, Colombia; and Greenland.
• MITS Institute (MITS) has more than 13 years’ experience in the provision of business, technology, and cyber solutions to private and public sector clients in South Africa.
• Gemini GIS and Environmental Services (GGES) has more than 13 years’ experience in the provision of UAV surveying, mapping, monitoring, and inspection services to private and public sector clients in South Africa.
The DMRE is confident that the preferred bidder will be able to deliver the required mining licensing system that will heighten transparency in the application and processing of mining rights, permits and licenses.
