Notice Title

Community Science Urban Monitoring Framework

Notice Description

A Community Science Urban Monitoring Framework (CS) will form the foundation of a comprehensive monitoring strategy for urban environments. Community Science, synomnous with citizen science, presents an opportunity to advance our approach to study and better understand the ecological and natural capital resources in urban and residential spaces. While a range of projects and initiatives operating at a range of scales have pioneered the use of CS in urban areas these have not coalesced around a single comprehensive narrative that serves the need for a holistic, multi-resolution understanding of urban environments and its long-term monitoring. This contract will provide an initial framework to enable and guide more collaborative working to better coordinate our own efforts and engagements with citizens (active and potential citizen scientists) to study ecosystems and natural capital within urban areas and enable a more accurate understanding of the state of urban nature. Additional information: NOTE: The deadlines for this publications have been extended. Due do an error in the original Request for Quotation the closing date for this tender has been extended to 10am Friday 1st September. Please note, the previous Request for Quotation listed the value of the contract as PS10,000 to PS24,999. The correct contract value is PS10,000 to PS45,000.
