Guinea - 27 October 2025,
The Government of Guinea has given SOFIDIS SARL, a Senegalese company, a significant contract in an effort to improve environmental protection and biodiversity monitoring. The International Development Association (IDA) is funding the Guinea Natural Resources, Mining and Environmental Management Project (P168613), which includes the GNF 4,000,820,000 deal. The contract, which was formally awarded on October 27, 2025, intends to improve surveillance capabilities in Guinea's wildlife reserves and national parks.
Contract Specifics and Scope
The contract, which was obtained through a Request for Bids (RFB) with reference number GN-PGRNME-298212-GO-RFB, entails the purchase of surveillance materials for the Office Guêteen des Parcs Nationaux et Réserves de Faune (OGPRNF). The four-month project will concentrate on improving field operations and monitoring equipment to protect Guinea's abundant natural resources and rich biodiversity.The contract is a component of the larger Guinea Natural Resources, Mining and Environmental Management Project (PGRNME), a national project funded by IDA credit IDA-D8190. The project aims to strengthen environmental oversight, encourage sustainable natural resource management, and increase transparency in the mining industry.
Award and Bidders in Competition
With a competitive bid of GNF 4.0 billion, SOFIDIS SARL, with its headquarters in Dakar, Senegal, was the lowest evaluated bidder after an open international bidding process. To meet the demands of OGPRNF's field operations, the company will provide specialised monitoring and surveillance equipment.ALTRAX GUINÉE SARL, the sole rival company, put in an evaluated bid of GNF 8.64 billion, which was much more than SOFIDIS's offer.
Importance of the Agreement
The award demonstrates Guinea's dedication to fortifying its environmental management institutions in the face of mounting mining and deforestation pressures. The government wants to prevent illegal logging and poaching in protected areas, protect endangered species, and enhance the enforcement of conservation laws by investing in surveillance technology.Because Senegal's SOFIDIS brings cross-border expertise in security systems, equipment procurement, and environmental monitoring technologies, this initiative also reflects regional cooperation within West Africa. The collaboration demonstrates the expanding role of local private sector companies in carrying out sustainable development initiatives.
