INTRODUCTION
This Information Memorandum (“Memorandum”) is issued by South African National Parks
(SANParks) in accordance with the guidelines for Public Private Partnerships (“PPPs”)
contained in National Treasury's Tourism PPP Toolkit, and in compliance with Treasury
Regulation 16 issued in terms of the Public Finance Management Act 1999.
In accordance with the Commercialisation Strategy approved by the Board on 29 March 2000, the Nkuhlu picnic site was outsourced in the past
.
However, a change in strategy resulted in SANParks operating this sitefrom 2011. Due to financial losses and inferior product offering at the site, SANParks advertised this opportunity to the Private Sector in 2015 but no valid bids were received. In light of this SANParks re-
assessed the opportunity and added an accommodation offering of 15-beds (in line with the park zoning) to the site and hence this opportunity will again go out to tender inorder to source Private Sector expertise, skills and capital to operate the site successfully.The Facilities will be outsourced as going concerns, under contractual terms that will transfer full operational control to the private operators. In keeping with SANParks objectives, particular attention will be paid to the implementation of broad-based Black Economic Empowerment
and more particularly involvement of land claimants through equity participation.In addition, private operators will have to respect
existing SANParks regulations regarding protection of the environment
