HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Historic Environment Scotland focuses on the lease of aircraft for aerial reconnaissance and photography services across Scotland. The tender, initiated as part of an open procedure, encompasses both single-engine and twin-engine aircraft requirements, with a total estimated value of £100,000. Key dates include the signing of contracts on 24 April 2017 for the single-engine aircraft and 6 June 2017 for the twin-engine aircraft. The procurement is categorised under services in the tourism and conservation industry, with operations primarily centred in Edinburgh and the surrounding regions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in aviation services, particularly those that can provide both dry and wet lease options for aircraft. Companies that specialise in the leasing of single-engine and twin-engine aircraft, as well as those offering maintenance services, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The requirement for a high-wing aircraft indicates a preference for providers with expertise in aerial photography and reconnaissance, making this a valuable opportunity for SMEs in the aviation sector to expand their market reach.
