This tender invites bids for the supply and installation of elephant deterrence panels with protruding rods along the western boundary of Kruger National Park for a distance of 1km. The project aims to mitigate human-elephant conflicts and enhance community safety.
The South African National Parks (SANParks) is seeking a qualified service provider to supply and install specialized elephant deterrence panels with protruding rods along a 1km stretch of the western boundary of Kruger National Park. This initiative is part of SANParks' broader strategy to manage human-elephant conflicts and protect local communities. The panels will be designed to prevent elephants from crossing into agricultural areas, thereby safeguarding crops and enhancing the coexistence of wildlife and human populations.
Bidders must demonstrate their capability to procure materials, ensure precise workmanship, and manage the logistics of installation. The panels should be constructed from durable materials, featuring protruding rods designed to deter elephants without causing harm. Additionally, the service provider will be responsible for applying herbicides to maintain visibility and prevent overgrowth around the panels. The project is expected to be completed within one month from the start date, and local community involvement in the installation process is encouraged to foster collaboration and support.
This tender is suitable for construction firms, environmental service providers, and companies with experience in wildlife management solutions. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in metalwork, installation, and community engagement are encouraged to apply.
