Tender Summary

Summary of Objectives, Scope, Technical Requirements, and Skills Requirements of the Tender

Objectives

The primary objective of the tender is to establish and manage three Mega Living Landscapes (MLLs) in South Africa, conserving approximately 2 million hectares of biodiversity-rich land. The project aims to foster sustainable economic opportunities for local communities—particularly women and youth—build robust conservation management institutions, and demonstrate the transformative potential of the MLL concept. It seeks to promote inclusive stakeholder participation, enhance biodiversity conservation, and integrate social and economic development within landscape-scale initiatives aligned with national and global biodiversity targets.

Scope

  • Establishment and formalization of three Mega Living Landscapes across different regions, including the Greater Addo, Barberton/Makhonjwa, and Eastern Grasslands areas.
  • Development of participatory governance structures, vision and framework plans, and institutional mechanisms to support landscape management.
  • Implementation of conservation activities such as protected area expansion, management effectiveness improvements, and land acquisition through stewardship and voluntary land purchases.
  • Promotion of sustainable economic opportunities, including ecotourism, sustainable agriculture, wildlife economy, and restoration initiatives, with a focus on local enterprise development, job creation, and socio-economic empowerment.
  • Strengthening conservation management institutions, capacity building, knowledge sharing, and stakeholder engagement, including traditional authorities, local communities, NGOs, private sector, and government agencies.
  • Implementation of monitoring, evaluation, and adaptive management frameworks to ensure project effectiveness and learning.

Technical Requirements

  • Design and establish inclusive governance structures, stakeholder platforms, and landscape vision and framework plans.
  • Develop and implement biodiversity management plans, land use assessments, and conservation strategies aligned with national policies and international commitments (e.g., 30x30 targets).
  • Conduct biodiversity and ecosystem assessments, land audits, and socio-economic impact analyses.
  • Facilitate land acquisition, stewardship agreements, and protected area declarations, ensuring environmental and social safeguards are met.
  • Develop and deliver capacity building programs, training modules, and knowledge-sharing platforms for conservation practitioners, local leaders, and communities.
  • Implement monitoring tools such as METT assessments, habitat management, and climate resilience measures.
  • Coordinate with ongoing initiatives, align with national strategies, and ensure compliance with environmental and social safeguards.

Skills Requirements

  • Proven experience in landscape-scale conservation planning, protected area management, and biodiversity policy implementation.
  • Strong capacity in stakeholder engagement, participatory governance, and community-based natural resource management.
  • Expertise in land use planning, land acquisition, and legal frameworks related to protected areas and land reform.
  • Technical skills in biodiversity assessment, ecological restoration, and climate adaptation strategies.
  • Capacity to develop and implement socio-economic development programs, enterprise incubation, and value chain analysis.
  • Experience in capacity building, training delivery, and knowledge management in conservation contexts.
  • Strong project management skills, including monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and adaptive management frameworks.
  • Ability to coordinate multi-stakeholder partnerships across government, private sector, NGOs, and local communities.

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements

To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
