Annual Reports for Commercial Timber Resources

The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) invites bids for the production of five annual reports focusing on commercial timber resources and primary roundwood processing in South Africa, covering the financial years from 2022/23 to 2026/27. This project aims to comply with the National Forests Act and involves collecting, analyzing, and reporting data on timber production and processing. The successful bidder will be responsible for developing questionnaires, conducting surveys, and producing detailed reports that will inform policy decisions and contribute to sustainable forest management.

The scope of work includes the development of a stakeholder database, conducting workshops, and producing maps that illustrate the distribution of timber resources. The reports will serve as vital tools for various stakeholders, including government departments, industry players, and academic institutions, ensuring that the forestry sector is well-informed and guided by accurate data. The project requires a commitment to high-quality reporting and adherence to timelines, with the first two reports due within 18 months and subsequent reports within shorter timeframes. This is an excellent opportunity for businesses with expertise in forestry statistics, data analysis, and environmental reporting.
