## Summary

The North York Moors National Park Authority has initiated a tender process for the project titled "Citizen Science bat survey co-ordination, including acoustic data processing and validation." This procurement, categorised under technical analysis and consultancy services, aims to find a suitable ecologist or IT consultant who can develop a website for Citizen Scientists to reserve bat survey sites and manage acoustic data. The tender was published on 27 February 2020, with a proposal submission deadline set for 16 March 2020. The service is to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, with a contract value of £15,000, commencing on 23 March 2020 and running until 30 November 2023.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in environmental consultancy, website development, and data processing. Businesses with experience in acoustic monitoring, environmental services, and related IT solutions will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. This is an excellent chance for organisations to expand their portfolio in ecological projects and contribute to citizen science initiatives within a national park setting.

## Notice

The purpose of this brief is to seek the services of a suitably experienced ecologist and/or IT consultant to undertake website hosting to enable Citizen Scientists to reserve bat survey sites and to book out wildlife acoustic detectors (Song Meter SM4BAT FS Bioacoustic Recorder). Following the set-up of the website the consultant will then be required to process and verify raw recordings to determine species recorded, providing summary reports and outputs to update project staff and volunteers.
