The South African Polar Research Infrastructure (SAPRI) is inviting bids for the procurement of a box-corer system, a specialized marine sediment sampling device essential for various research disciplines, including geology and ecology. The successful bidder will provide a box-corer with a sampling area of 0.25 m², constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, and equipped with a no-load release mechanism to ensure sample integrity. Additionally, the tender requires the provision of two spare sample boxes and comprehensive maintenance documentation to support the long-term use of the equipment.
This procurement is crucial for advancing marine research capabilities in South Africa, as there are currently no similar devices in active use within the country. The box-corer will facilitate undisturbed sediment sampling, enabling researchers to conduct high-quality studies in benthic ecology, biogeochemistry, and palaeontology. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards and provide a two-year warranty for the equipment, ensuring reliability and support for the research community.
This tender is suitable for manufacturers and suppliers of marine research equipment, particularly those with expertise in producing high-quality sampling devices and providing technical support and maintenance services.
