This project falls under the Research and Experimental Development Services industry category. The procurement stage is currently active, with a deadline for tenders set for January 30th, 2023. The contract period is scheduled from February 6th to March 31st, 2023. This tender offers opportunities for businesses providing services in research and experimental development, particularly those focused on environmental monitoring in urban areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to engage in this open procedure tender below the threshold value of £25,000. ## Notice A Citizen Science Urban Monitoring Framework will form the foundation of a comprehensive monitoring strategy for urban environments. 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.
