## Summary

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs is conducting a tender for "Near-Realtime tasked high resolution satellite imaging services" aimed at supporting a pilot agricultural surveillance project in North England. The tender process is currently active, with submissions closing on 19th November 2021, at 23:00. The anticipated contract period is from 25th November 2021 to 15th February 2022. This procurement falls under the services category, focusing on data capture and supply, and is being carried out through a limited competitive quotation process, with a budget ranging from £25,000 to £50,000.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specializing in high resolution satellite imaging and data analytics, particularly those with the capacity for rapid tasking and data delivery. Companies that can provide flexible scheduling for satellite imaging services and have experience working with agricultural data analysis will find this tender particularly beneficial. Given the increasing demand for precise and timely data in agriculture, successful bidders may unlock further opportunities within the agricultural sector and with government bodies involved in environmental monitoring and management.

## Notice

We have a requirement for high resolution (better than 0.6 m) satellite imaging services for a pilot agricultural surveillance project part of the North of England totalling an area of 1,850 kmsq (details in the accompanying documents) between 25th November 2021 and 15th February 2022. The satellite provider should demonstrate that they can prioritise the tasking for this work package and show that the data has a high probability of being captured given the time frames, the size of the area and the capacity of their systems. We will need to be able to schedule at short notice satellite data capture at better than 0.6 metre resolution that will be made available to visualise and analyse within 72 hrs of acquisition. We will need to be able to share the images throughout DEFRA and be able to share screenshot (not georeferenced) images of the data with relevant stakeholders. The licence agreement should allow use of the imagery by the Environment Agency and partner (DEFRA) bodies in perpetuity. Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached Invitation to Quote and associated documents. Email your response to crispin.hambidge@environment-agency.gov.uk. Tenders to be received no later than 23:00 on 19th November 2021.
