This project, scheduled for a duration of six months within the financial year 2025/26, is crucial for the effective management of the region's natural resources and biodiversity. The successful bidder will be responsible for collecting and analyzing ecological data, identifying key biodiversity areas, and integrating findings into a revised bioregional plan that aligns with national conservation strategies.

The service provider will also be expected to engage with local stakeholders, ensuring that the updated plan reflects community needs and ecological realities. This initiative not only aims to protect and preserve the region's biodiversity but also supports sustainable development goals by promoting informed decision-making in land-use planning and resource management. By participating in this tender, businesses can contribute to significant environmental conservation efforts while enhancing their portfolio in ecological services.
