WWF-Viet Nam: Invitation to Bids – Procurement of 1030 camera traps and compatible memory cards

Project: Saving the Saola from the Brink of Extinction.

Saving the Saola from the Brink of Extinction is an 18 month project funded by the EU via Re:Wild under the Rapid RESCUE Fund. The project will implement urgent conservation  interventions  to  ensure  the  survival  of  the species  via  providing  support  to (i) emergency  search aiming  to detect  some  of  the  last  remaining Saola individuals in the wild using  local  ecological knowledge and field surveys in priority areas across the Central Annamites Landscape (CAL); (ii) provide direct emergency support to identify and reduce threats to Saola in the priority areas  across the Central Annamites region; and (iii) maximize public exposure to Saola  and raise awareness about the emergency of these actions to “crowdsource” information on the potential presence of the species across its range.

Under the scope of the Saving the Saola from the Brink of Extinction Project, WWF-Viet Nam is launching an open tender to select a supplier of 1030 Camera Traps and compatible Memory Cards. WWF-Viet Nam would like to invite prospective bidders to submit sealed bids for 1030 sets of Camera Traps to be delivered to Dong Ha City, Quang Tri Province, Viet Nam.
