Notice Title

2023-686 LIDAR Digital Topographic Scanning of Farms in GB

Notice Description

For this tender, AHDB are seeking partner/s to provide LIDAR scanning services to inform the assessment of above ground biomass and carbon, and hydrological run-off risk for between 120 and 200 farms across Great Britain. Farm recruitment for participation in this project is currently underway hence exact numbers of farms and their location cannot be confirmed at this stage. Most farms will be mixed farms with two or more enterprise types. Uncropped land such as woodland will also be included. To provide flexibility, this work has been divided into three regional blocks, each provisionally comprising between 40 and 70 farms. The LIDAR dataset should cover all the farms identified as participating in the project. Details for two LIDAR resolutions is requested, 16 and 40 ppm, both with three or more returns. LIDAR acquisition must be carried out under leaf off conditions. It will be delivered formatted as a digital terrain model, a digital surface model, canopy height model, fully classified LAS file format and a RGB ortho mosaic in geotiff format. The above service is part of the project's overall requirement to measure, report and verify (MRV) the changes in carbon stocks within and across farms and provide farmers with information that can help them deliver better environmental services, whilst optimizing production efficiency. The final award will be for one resolution and the area scanned per farm will vary dependent on farm size and other factors. Tenderers may bid to scan farms in one or more regional blocks.
