About
The British Trust for Ornithology awarded a contract to the British Trust for Ornithology for the development and trialling of an acoustic monitoring scheme (BTO Acoustic Pipeline) for Red-billed Leiothrix, a potentially invasive non-native species to the UK.
The pilot project aimed to improve APHA's understanding of the distribution of Red-billed Leiothrix and inform whether a control policy is recommended.
The contract value was £16,103.5.
This was a below-threshold requirement and genuine research and development, not captured by Public Contract Regulations 2015.
