Provincie Groningen is organizing a market consultation in preparation for a future procurement for the conclusion of a framework agreement for ecological research for the benefit of the SMP of the municipalities of Groningen. Through this market consultation, the province aims to gain insight into market developments, technical possibilities, points of attention, and feasible solution directions, with the goal of arriving at a careful, realistic, and well-suited request for tender.

02Strategic insight

Strategic insight · AI analysis
Ensure specialist expertise in recognizing specific sounds (such as the serotine bat) and the use of telemetric transmitters. Take into account the need for advanced equipment such as bat recorders, bat loggers, and thermal imaging cameras. Be prepared for complex methodologies, such as attracting bats with sound or the use of e-DNA.
Read automatically from the tender documents using AI. Always verify against the original documents.

03Points of attention

Important · 5
The serotine bat exhibits a pattern of short-term stays and frequent changes of roosting sites.Important
Working on the basis of volunteers is not a good option for the serotine bat due to the required specific competencies and intensity.Important
The leisured bat is often structurally overlooked during standard research because their behavior differs greatly from the common pipistrelle.Important
With the leisured bat, there is a risk that animals become victims of building insulation when they cannot get outside through exclusion flaps.Important
For the serotine bat, it is essential to know potential roosting locations because there is no known method of mitigation that guarantees success.Important
