SANParks-00466-11-19: RFQ - Feasibility Study for Timber Harvesting and related Value Added Products in Garden Route National Park
South African National Parks (SANParks) hereby invites prospective service providers to submit a quotation/proposal to conduct a feasibility study for Timber Harvesting and related Value Added Products, as well as identification of possible community-based partnership models in the Garden Route National Park.


1. PURPOSE
The purpose of these terms of reference (ToR) is to invite suitably qualified and experienced service
provider to submit a proposal to develop feasibility study on timber harvesting of certain species and
related value adding products in Garden Route.
You are hereby invited to submit proposal / price quotation to conduct a feasibility study for timber
harvesting and related value adding products as well as identification of possible community based
partnership models in Garden Route: The service provider will be required to undertake the following
activities:

2. BACKGROUND
South African National Parks (SANParks) manages approximately 45 000 ha of indigenous forest as
part of the Garden Route National Park. Biodiversity conservation is the primary aim of management in
these forests, but extractive resource use is an important component of the management of the resource,
both historically and compliance with policy directives to accommodate the need for access to
resources, to optimize socio-economic benefits to neighboring communities, and to generate income for
the organization. The resource use programme makes provision for the harvesting of timber and nontimber forest products by neighboring communities.
Timber harvesting in the indigenous forests of the Garden Route National Park was reviewed
approximately a decade ago, following the transfer of the unit and related human resource from the then
National Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF). The unit was transferred to SANParks
without the financial support and this increased SANParks operational costs. SANParks then made the
decision to cease all timber-harvesting operations and focus on its core functions, which is to manage
and conserve the forest.
The timber harvesting operations were outsourced as a commercialization opportunity, subject to strict
SANParks environmental restrictions and guidelines. In terms of the Public Private Partnerships (PPP)
opportunities, SANParks remains responsible for selecting the trees to be harvested, as well as
oversight over the harvesting operations.
Using the experience and lessons learnt from the contract given to a local emerging entrepreneur,
undertaking this assignment should therefore contribute to the understanding of the realistic, viable
economic opportunities of timber, its profitability and multiplier effect.
This should also assist in the attainment of the SANParks’ Socio Economic Transformation vision to
ensure that the local communities living around our parks are actively participating in the timber
business of the parks as key stakeholders and partners. Most importantly, it is expected that the
outcomes of the study should contribute towards poverty reduction, the sustainable use of indigenous
biological resources and job creation and stimulation of the local economy.

O** :O^

A bit like the fishing quotas. I feel there are political machinations going on with SANParks in the Western Cape.
