The tender, published on 29th July 2019, is currently active and invites proposals until the deadline of 16th August 2019. This is an open procurement process, with a total contract value of £30,000, involving the design and development of a user-facing tool that integrates with the Sapelli data-gathering platform, aimed at engaging non-literate and indigenous communities. The contract period is set to start on 9th September 2019 and conclude by 30th November 2022, with project delivery expected within London, United Kingdom. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for technology and consultancy firms, particularly those with expertise in software development and user experience design, to collaborate on a socially impactful project. Businesses that have a track record in working with data-gathering platforms, as well as those that can navigate the complexities of consulting for social enterprises, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project can enhance a company's portfolio while contributing to meaningful societal change through technology. ## Notice UCL's Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) group has recently been awarded EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account funding from the "Discovery To Use" initiative at UCL. The funding has been awarded to launch a social enterprise - the ExCiteS Social Enterprise (or ESE), via the Accelerated Upgrade and Market Entry project (AcUMEn). This tender is for one of several work packages to help launch the social enterprise. ExCiteS requires the services of an experienced technology delivery partner to design and develop a user-facing tool that couples with Sapelli, a data-gathering platform designed for usage by non-literate and indigenous communities. A paper detailing the origins of Sapelli is included in the materials below, alongside high-level technical specification for Sapelli Designer itself. This is a fixed-cost contract of PS30,000, incorporating detailed technical design, development and user assurance work. The partner will be expected to work closely with members of the ExCiteS team and prospective partners, liaising with our Social Enterprise Consultancy partner, Tulba Consulting.
