The SKAO aims to engage a South African service provider for five years to prepare a decommissioning valuation report that outlines financial costs associated with decommissioning the SKA-Mid Telescope Site, located in the Karoo district in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. This report will assess and estimate SKAO’s liability and obligations: annually from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2028, and at the anticipated conclusion of the project around 2074. The objective is to ensure accurate and comprehensive liability estimation to support financial planning, reporting, and risk management. The SKAO wishes to appoint a service provider to prepare a report that outlines the financial costs associated with decommissioning the SKA Site. The report should consider and detail potential costs related to measures for remediating, reinstating, and rehabilitating the site licence areas, in accordance with country specific legislation and construction licences, at the end of the 50+ year life of the SKA Project. This procurement is open to companies within South Africa only.
