This procurement falls under the survey services category (CPV 79311000) and is currently at the tender stage, with submissions closing on 24 April 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 12 June 2020 and run for a period of three years, concluding on 11 June 2023. The estimated value of this contract is £30,000, with a minimum threshold of £250,000 for certain services, and it will be executed through an open procurement method, specifically the open procedure (below threshold). This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in survey and research services, to engage with community feedback processes and contribute to enhancing public participation in the South Downs National Park. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, as it is designed to foster local expertise and innovation. Companies with experience in community engagement and those adept at conducting surveys or research activities will find this an advantageous opportunity for growth and collaboration with a prominent public authority. ## Notice In 2017, the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) set up a Citizens Panel for local residents living within or near the South Downs National Park (SDNP). The Panel initially ran as a three year pilot, and we now plan to continue with a panel for a further three years. Having our own Citizens Panel enables us to engage with people who have not previously engaged with the SDNP and/or the work of the SDNPA and enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of our work. We have also used the Panel to obtain feedback about the issues of importance to them (such as climate change) which has assisted our and our partners' work. The time commitment for individual Citizens Panel members is small as they are asked to participate in just two surveys a year - one in the spring and one in the autumn. Occasionally, we invite Panel members to take part in one-off research studies - recent examples include testing our website and providing suggestions for improvements and feeding back on design in the National Park as part of the Peoples' Choice Design Review Award.
