Appointment of a Service Provider to Conduct a Risk Survey and Assessment for Vision 2040

SANParks requires the appointment of a service provider to conduct a comprehensive Risk Perception Survey (RPS) and assessment for its Vision 2040 Risk Management Framework. The purpose is to identify, validate, prioritise, and analyse risks affecting Vision 2040 implementation, providing insights into current and future risk concerns, stakeholder perspectives, and emerging risk hotspots. The assignment involves designing and administering the survey, obtaining risk perceptions from internal and external stakeholders, analysing risks, determining stakeholder views on severity, likelihood, and impact, assessing changes in risk significance over various time horizons, identifying interdependencies and compounding risks, informing the Vision 2040 Risk Register and Risk Management Plan development, and providing evidence-based recommendations for risk treatment, mitigation, and monitoring.
The service provider must demonstrate expertise in conducting comprehensive risk perception surveys, stakeholder mapping, data collection (online and physical workshops), risk analysis, and reporting. Key stakeholders include SANParks staff, government, NGOs, private sector, and communities, requiring mixed-method surveys and structured questionnaires to assess risk likelihood, impact, emerging risks, risk governance, mitigation confidence, and ownership. The contractor will be required to develop deliverables such as an Inception Report, Survey Instruments, Progress Report, Draft RPS Report, Final RPS Report (incorporating SANParks comments), and a Risk Data Set.
