South African National Parks (SANParks) has re-advertised Tender GNP-058-25-A, calling on qualified manufacturers and suppliers to submit proposals for the manufacture, supply, and delivery of rangers uniforms and boots to the organisation for a five-year period. The re-advertisement was published on 24 April 2026, with a bid closing date of 11 May 2026 at 11:00.
What Is Being Offered
SANParks is inviting bidders to submit a proposal for the manufacture, supply and delivery of rangers uniforms to SANParks for a period of five years. The contract also includes rangers boots. This is a national supply mandate, covering SANParks’ network of parks and reserves across South Africa, including flagship properties such as Kruger National Park, Table Mountain National Park, and the Garden Route National Park.
The re-advertisement signals that a previous bid round did not yield a suitable outcome, and SANParks is now widening the opportunity to the market. Contracts of this nature are typically high-volume, multi-delivery mandates with structured procurement cycles across the five-year term.
Why This Opportunity Is Significant
SANParks operates one of Africa’s largest and most internationally recognised conservation estate systems. The organisation is involved in activities spanning conservation, tourism, and environmental education across its national parks. The rangers workforce is central to its anti-poaching, guest safety, and conservation operations, making uniform supply a critical and recurring operational requirement.
A five-year contract of this nature provides a successful bidder with a long-term, stable revenue stream anchored to a Schedule 3A public entity under the Public Finance Management Act. Payment cycles are governed by National Treasury frameworks, and the contract is subject to the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and the Preferential Procurement Regulations of 2022.
Who Can Participate
The bid is subject to the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022, the General Conditions of Contract, and if applicable, any other Special Conditions of Contract. This means B-BBEE compliance and CIDB grading where applicable will form part of the evaluation criteria.
Eligible participants include registered textile and workwear manufacturers, corporate clothing suppliers, and uniform distributors with demonstrated capacity for high-volume, specification-driven production and delivery. Bidders must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD).
How to Submit
Bids must be deposited in the bid box situated at South African National Parks, 643 Leyds Street, Muckleneuk, Pretoria (Main Gate Tender Box). No proposals will be accepted if submitted to any other address. No bids sent via the internet or email will be accepted. No late submissions will be accepted.
