## Summary

The recent tender titled "Redevelopment of iRecord Butterflies Mobile App and Enhancements to the eSurveyor Mobile Application" has been awarded by the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology, based in Wallingford, England. This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically focusing on internet or intranet client application development services, with a total value of £30,800. The procurement method utilised was a direct single tender action, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 20 April 2021 and conclude on 31 May 2021. The tender was officially awarded on 19 April 2021, marking the conclusion of the awarding phase.

This contract presents a vital opportunity for businesses involved in mobile application development, particularly those with expertise in open-source software and citizen science. Suppliers with experience in developing applications that integrate with the Indicia software will find themselves well-positioned to compete in future tenders of a similar nature. Given the high development costs linked to acquiring the necessary skills to work with Indicia, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in this area may particularly benefit from pursuing similar contracts.

## Notice

Mobile application development for citizen science applications is closely aligned with the open source software Indicia, that is designed to collect structured biodiversity data via citizen science approaches. UKCEH are one of the main developers of the Indicia software tools, and host a data warehouse to support a range of citizen science projects. The mobile applications developed through this funding, via the Natural Capital Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) project are integrated with Indicia to allow the data to flow into existing projects and analysis pipelines to support wider research applications. The supplier, Flumens, has specific expertise in using the Indicia software, built up through development of other mobile applications (e.g. iMammalia, Butterfly Count) - some funded through UKCEH projects and some developed through funding from other organisations. A recent tendering exercise with other suppliers of wildlife-focused mobile applications demonstrated that there is high extra cost (and time) for other suppliers developing capacity to work with Indicia.
