Tender Application Workspace for

Freeport saldanha requires a rapid, evidence-based first-phase study into whether red iron ore dust materially constrains the economic, investment, operational and strategic potential of the saldanha bay idz and the port of saldanha, together with practical mitigation options that preserve the port's core iron ore export function. The work runs as two integrated workstreams — an economic and strategic assessment, and a technical dust-pathway and mitigation assessment — delivered over eight weeks from the inception meeting, ending in a stakeholder validation workshop and a final report plus engagement pack. Bidders must field a core team combining an economist and a dust, air quality or bulk-handling specialist, show at least three comparable assignments completed in the past five years, and declare any current or recent work for TRANSNET group, tpt, tnpa, iron ore producers or dust-control technology suppliers. The most consequential consideration is that the RFQ states NO submission channel, NO evaluation weightings and NO minimum functionality threshold, all of which must be confirmed with the supply chain contact before the closing time of 3 november 2026 at 11:00.
