Supply, delivery and scenic set dressing of artificial plants and natural exhibition materials for the amanzi-eafrika wetland and estuarine displays at iziko south african museum. Bidders must provide stone, gravel, driftwood, timber, reeds and grasses that satisfy the museum's conservation requirements, substituting artificial replicas wherever natural material carries unacceptable risk. Every organic item must pass documented cleaning, complete drying, heat treatment or kiln drying and quarantine before IT enters a gallery, and an integrated pest management programme must run for the duration of the exhibition. The decisive consideration is that untreated organic material — especially timber, bark, reeds and grasses — is rated high risk, while soil, moss and living plants are not permitted in collection galleries.
Closing: quotations close on 12 October 2026 at 11:00.
Material risk grading: stone, rock, gravel and river stones are very low risk and preferred; driftwood and hardwood branches are medium risk; tree stumps, timber logs, bark, dried reeds and dried grasses are high risk; soil, moss and living plants are very high risk and are not permitted in collection galleries.
Artificial substitutes: replicas must be used wherever natural material presents unacceptable conservation risk, and an artificial substitute is required for moss.
Treatment and quarantine: all organic material must be cleaned, fully dried and heat treated or kiln dried (preferred over fumigation for timber), then quarantined and inspected before installation; surface sealants do not replace pest eradication.
Integrated Pest Management: an IPM programme must run for the whole exhibition, covering quarantine of incoming material, insect trapping, environmental monitoring, scheduled housekeeping, monthly conservation inspections and immediate removal of infested material; chemical intervention is a last resort.
Gallery environment: installation must hold 18–22°C and 45–55% relative humidity with minimal fluctuation, with good air circulation, no direct sunlight, UV-controlled lighting and continuous environmental monitoring.
Installation and monitoring: the Conservation Unit must document and approve all materials before installation, natural materials must not touch collection objects and must be isolated on hidden supports, and inspections are required monthly, after any environmental incident and before deinstallation.
