What this means
This document is a webpage/news post from Thekwini TVET College about NSFAS-funded students receiving laptops. It states that after a re-advertised laptop supply tender in September 2020, the NSFAS administrator approved the tender award to five bidders on 2 November 2020, and laptop distribution was rescheduled to 2021 due to procurement delays. It also explains that TVET NSFAS-funded students were pre-approved via predetermined qualifying criteria (returning students with 2021 registration received by the college) and that distribution followed a phased roll-out using pre-approved lists provided to the service provider, Pinnacle. The post reports that on Friday 20 August the college distributed about 615 laptops out of 749.
