Request for tenders to develop AMBER Smartphone Application

As part of the AMBER (Adaptive Management of Barriers in European Rivers) project a smartphone application is to be developed with which users can record barriers in the field. These recordings will serve to suplement the barrier atlas of Europe, which is also being produced as part of the AMBER project. The consortium of the AMBER project is looking for an external party to develop this smartphone application. Parties interested in developing the smartphone application are cordially invited to submit a tender.

The smartphone application is expected to function on iOS, Android and Windows. The application must be able to record and submit data and store it in a backend system of the developing party and allow for data to be exported or imported from the backend system into any other systems via API key. The smartphone application must be designed to incorporate (or be sympathetic to) existing project design style guidelines including AMBER logo and AMBER colour scheme.

Once tenders have been submitted and received, they are evaluated. The evaluation is a 2 -step process. The first step is an initial compliance check of tenders.

In the second step, tenders that have passed the initial compliance check will be considered against a set of evaluation criteria. The criteria are based on the best value for money principle.

Once the evaluation has been completed, a winning tender will be selected and announced before the 12th of November 2016.
