Review of Provincial Spatial Development Framework

The Department of Land Reform and Rural Development (DLRRD) is inviting bids for the comprehensive review of the Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF) for Mpumalanga Province. This project is critical for aligning provincial development plans with national policies and ensuring that spatial planning effectively addresses socio-economic challenges within the province. The successful bidder will be required to engage with various stakeholders, analyze existing spatial data, and propose actionable strategies that promote sustainable development and spatial justice.

The scope of work includes conducting a thorough analysis of the current PSDF, identifying spatial challenges and opportunities, and formulating a revised framework that meets the requirements set out in the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA). The project will involve multiple phases, including stakeholder engagement, data collection, and the development of a final report that outlines the revised PSDF. The service provider must demonstrate expertise in spatial planning, GIS, and community engagement, ensuring that the revised framework is both practical and visionary in addressing the needs of the province.
