## Summary

WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) Trading Limited is seeking proposals for the "Oral Histories" project, aimed at enhancing community engagement in Yorkshire and the Humber. This initiative, classified under research consultancy services, is currently in the tender stage, with proposals due by 9th August 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 16th August 2021 and will last until 29th October 2021. The project has a budget between £5,000 and £7,500 and is part of an open procurement process designed for service delivery.

This tender represents a unique opportunity for businesses that specialise in community engagement, research consultancy, and creative outputs, particularly those with expertise in capturing oral histories and archiving. Companies that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-placed to succeed, as the project seeks to involve diverse and non-traditionally engaged groups within the community. The potential for collaboration and joint proposals may also appeal to businesses looking to partner on innovative approaches to community-driven projects.

## Notice

Community Engagement & Co-creation WWF-UK and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust are partnering to deliver a series of micro-community projects that are co-designed and delivered by the community. The Oral Histories project is the first step in developing a programme of meaningful engagement with the local community. We will capture the lived experience and future visions of the people who live and use the landscape and build on this to co-create further community projects. Through a process of consultation and co-creation, the Oral Histories project will be designed by and for the local community. Oral Histories will provide a unique and personal insight into the past, enabling a greater understanding of land use in Ingleborough and the human connection to the area and its nature. The Oral Histories project should create a record of the past, present and future of Ingleborough, as we explore with the contributors their vision for a wilder future of the landscape. We are especially interested in memories and connections of some of the 'hero' species and habitats recorded at Wild Ingleborough (see Appendix), including curlews, red squirrels, limestone pavement and hay meadows. This will provide anecdotal evidence of how common these species and habitats used to be. Please send proposals (max 5 pages or 10 slides) to kmachin@wwf.org.uk and paul.brady@ywt.org.uk by 9th August. Your proposal should include a plan for how you would deliver the Oral Histories project, detailing: Your approach to identifying and recruiting contributors, ensuring the inclusion of diverse and non-traditionally consulted community groups. Please detail how you would select contributors for interview. How you will co-create the delivery of the Oral Histories project with the contributors and local community Your method for capturing, recording and storing the Oral Histories, ensuring the project is legally and ethically sound and that data is protected. Your ideas for the creative outputs of the project, and how you will engage a variety of audiences including schools, youth, diverse and non-traditionally engaged groups of individuals. We are open to joint or partial proposals that will be delivered in partnership.
