The project aimed to develop a standalone, responsive website to promote and engage the public with the Species on the Edge programme. Zudu Ltd, based in Dundee, was awarded the contract, with the contract officially signed on 16th May 2024. The process followed an open procurement method, and the tender was managed electronically.
