Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for the "ENFOR - Scottish Coastal LiDAR Survey" project, an initiative aimed at supporting commitments within the Scottish National Adaptation Plan 3. The contract, valued at approximately £587,542, was awarded to Fugro GB Limited, and the process followed an open procedure method. The project's main industry category falls under "Aerial Mapping Services," specifically targeting the coastal zones of Scotland, including the intertidal areas. This particular phase of the procurement process is complete, highlighting significant milestones with the contract being signed on 3rd November 2025, and the initial tendering activities commencing with a notice in August 2025. The implementation of this project is located within region UKM, and it involves robust planning to coincide with suitable low tide conditions for effective surveying.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in aerial mapping and LiDAR technology, particularly those equipped with resilient supply chain systems and a focus on digital and environmental solutions. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in the technical facets of coastal surveying, along with a commitment to fair work practices such as paying the real Living Wage, will find this project well-aligned with their capabilities. The open procedure approach of this tender implies a transparent and competitive bidding environment, conducive to fostering business growth and potentially expanding market reach within public sector projects. Specialist firms engaged in geophysical consultancy, engineering-related scientific services, and climate-aware operating strategies are particularly well-suited to contribute to the successful execution of this initiative.

Notice Information

Notice Title

ENFOR - Scottish Coastal LiDAR Survey

Notice Description

In support of the Scottish Government's commitments within the Scottish National Adaptation Plan 3 (https://adaptation.scot/about/about-the-scottish-governments-national-adaptation-plan-snap3/) we are commissioning airborne LiDAR surveys of Scotland's coastal zone, including the intertidal area.

Lot Information

Lot 1

We require LiDAR survey outputs for the proposed survey areas, which will be detailed within the specification, including LAS files, Digital Surface Models, Digital Terrain Models and associated QA assurance statements. The Areas of Interest define the anticipated extent of the LiDAR survey. These extend over multiple geographic areas, as defined within the specification. We anticipate that the surveys will need to be phased to coincide with appropriate low tide conditions. We anticipate that 'standard LiDAR sensor' will be used, though if the contractor proposed to use Green LiDAR / Marine LiDAR to deliver the same outputs whilst the tide is in, then we remain open to these approaches. Given the expansive areas, we do not expect UAV/Drone surveys to be appropriate.
