Water Roadmap Delivery Partner - WWF South Africa

Waste & Resources Action Programme · Transparency notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 29 Sept 2026, 13:52.

Opportunity overview

We would like to provide WWF South Africa with a 12 month direct award contract to continue as WRAP’s delivery partner for the Water Roadmap collective action project in the Western Cape of South Africa. South Africa’s Western Cape region is a major exporter of citrus, cherries, apples, pears and stone fruit to the UK but climate pressures like prolonged drought and flooding are disrupting harvests and supply chains. Consequently, the catchments are a high priority for WRAP and our stakeholders to improve water stewardship under the Water Roadmap. Improving water stewardship is a long-term endeavour recognised by WRAP and our business funders who make a 3-year financial commitment to each of the collective action projects. The stability this provides enables WRAP’s delivery partners to build relationships, develop and implement solutions and maintain the expertise required to tackle significant challenges requiring the collaboration of hundreds, if not thousands of stakeholders.

Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
From a commercial / procurement perspective, a time-limited direct award for a period of up to 12 months is considered justified & proportionate under the principles of the PA23, on the basis that it secures continuity of a highly specialised, place-based service where competition in the short term would be unlikely to deliver equivalent value or outcomes. Commercial have been advised that the Supplier holds a uniquely embedded position within the region's water stewardship landscape, with established delivery infrastructure, trusted local partnerships, and alignment with parallel programmes that collectively underpin the success of the Collective Action Project; these characteristics are not readily transferable or replicable without significant time, cost, and risk to delivery. Introducing a new supplier at this stage would likely result in material disruption, duplication of mobilisation costs, and potential loss of co-funding and stakeholder confidence, thereby undermining value for money and programme impact. A 12-month direct award therefore represents a pragmatic interim measure that maintains delivery momentum while allowing WRAP to plan and undertake a compliant, competitive re-procurement for the longer-term solution (currently anticipated for 2027), ensuring alignment with transparency, proportionality, and responsible stewardship of funds.
