The Gambling Board of Namibia’s procurement page states that Notice No. 003/2026, issued on October 9, 2026, moved the submission deadline for two technology tenders from October 29 at 11:00 to November 5 at 11:00, with all other terms unchanged.

The two tenders are:

1. Supply, deployment and maintenance of a Central Electronic Monitoring System over six months, providing remote, online, real-time recording and reporting of licensed gambling operations under Section 90 of the Gambling and Entertainments Control Act, 2018.

2. Design, customisation, implementation, support and maintenance of an automated integrated licensing, workflow and document management system over sixty months, for online applications, digital processes, compliance monitoring and the storage of sensitive information.

The procurement page also lists two clarification documents dated October 6 and notes that anyone who downloaded the tender documents before September 21 must register again to receive addenda. The clarification deadline is still stated as seven days before submission, which makes it October 29 following the extension.

This is a scheduling adjustment for regulatory infrastructure procurement, not a change to licensing policy itself. Suppliers have an extra week; for the market, monitoring and licensing digitalisation are proceeding under the same procurement scope.
