The Nature Conservancy is an international conservation organisation operating in more than 79 countries. Its mission is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

In South Africa, TNC works with partners in different locations to advance its conservation mission. The supplier prequalification exercise is intended to identify eligible businesses and service providers that can support the organisation’s operational and programme requirements during 2027 and 2028.

Prequalification does not, by itself, guarantee a contract or purchase order. It allows eligible suppliers to apply for inclusion in the organisation’s supplier pool, subject to its procurement procedures and requirements.

Available Supplier Categories and Tender Reference Numbers

Interested businesses should identify the category that corresponds to their goods or services and use the correct tender reference number when requesting the application form.

Businesses may apply for the category or categories relevant to their operations. Applicants should confirm any category-specific conditions in the official bidder response form.

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must demonstrate that they are eligible to provide the relevant goods, works, or services. The announcement specifies the following supporting documentation:

• Business registration certificate: Evidence that the business or organisation is legally registered.
• Business licence: A valid licence to operate, where applicable.
• Regulatory or accreditation certificates: Documentation from relevant professional, regulatory, or accrediting bodies, where applicable.

Applicants should ensure that their documentation is accurate, complete, and relevant to the category for which they are applying. The official response form may contain additional requirements or instructions.

How to Request the Application Form

Interested suppliers must request the bidder response form and additional detailed information by email.

The email subject line must contain the tender reference number and category. For example:

Applicants seeking prequalification for another category should replace the reference number and category with the appropriate details from the official list.

After receiving the form, suppliers should review the instructions carefully, complete the required sections, and prepare the supporting documents before submitting their applications through the process specified by TNC.

Application Deadline

Completed applications must be submitted on or before Friday, 6 November 2026, at 16:00.

Applicants are encouraged to request the bidder response form early enough to allow sufficient time to gather documents, obtain any necessary certifications, and address questions before the deadline.

Why Businesses Should Consider This Opportunity

The supplier prequalification exercise provides businesses with an opportunity to seek consideration for TNC’s procurement requirements during the 2027–2028 period. It covers a broad range of industries, creating potential opportunities for established service providers, professional firms, transport operators, technology suppliers, and businesses offering environmental and scientific services.

However, prequalification should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future business. Applicants must meet the organisation’s requirements and follow its procurement procedures.
