Oral Histories

Tender description

Wild Ingleborough In the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, a beacon of nature recovery is emerging. Around Ingleborough mountain, a partnership of charities, organisations and local communities are working together to restore this iconic landscape. This land isn't as wild as it could be. It should be a patchwork of woodland, heather moorland, lichen heathlands and blanket bog - but over the years its rich diversity has been lost. We want to understand more about the natural history of Ingleborough and the people that live in, and use, the landscape. 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. Budget: £15,000 - 20,000* inclusive of all expenses and VAT. *Please note, additional budget is available for development and delivery of outputs and comms related to the engagement plan. Response: Please send proposals (max 5 pages or 10 slides) to ccutt@wwf.org.uk by 12 noon on Monday 22nd November. 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 according to GDPR. • Your ideas for the creative outputs of the project and how it could engage a variety of audiences such as schools, youth, diverse and non-traditionally engaged groups. • Details of relevant experience of delivering similar workshops. • A fixed-price quote of overall costs including daily rates for all team members (inc. VAT if applicable), any production costs for final documents and any expenses. • An explanation of each person's responsibilities and any sub-contracted elements. • Confirmation of capacity to complete the work within the brief in the timeframe and a detailed timeline. • A brief explanation of how your organisation is working to improve its sustainability. Please note: we are open to joint or partial proposals that will be delivered in partnership (e.g. local Oral Historians collecting stories and a creative agency producing film and engagement outputs).
