## Summary

Historic England is inviting tenders for the procurement of a semi-autonomous agile legged robot designed for surveying unsafe spaces. With a budget of £70,000, this opportunity falls under the goods category, specifically for industrial robots and surveying instruments. The tender is currently in the active stage and must be submitted by 10:00 on 7 March 2022. The contract period will commence on 31 March 2022 and extend through to 30 April 2022, with delivery expected at Historic England's office in York or via collection from the supplier.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in robotics, surveying technology, or remote control systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the tender is designed to be accessible to them. Companies that can demonstrate experience in developing agile robotics capable of operation in hazardous environments would be ideally suited to compete for this contract, contributing to innovation in the surveying sector.

## Notice

Historic England requires an agile mobile robot, designed to carry field survey equipment, which can be controlled remotely and which can enter unsafe spaces for survey without endangering life. The robot must be able to mount a Leica RTC360 laser scanner as a remotely-operated payload for survey purposes. The robot will be used in and around buildings and structures which may be structurally unsafe or have other access issues which make it dangerous for humans to enter. Delivery will be either by collection from the supplier or delivery to our York office. An introduction to the unit and basic training, sufficient to get the robot safely operable, should be provided.
