## Summary

The procurement process for the "DEFRA - Earth Observation Data Integration Pilot 9 - Innovative application of remote sensing to Forestry management and monitoring" project is being conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, located in London, England. This project, which falls under the forestry management services category, has recently reached the award stage with a contract value of £74,994. The contract period is set to commence on 24 February 2016 and run until 31 March 2017. The procurement method used is classified as 'Other', and interested suppliers were required to submit their bids by the deadline of 22 January 2016.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in remote sensing technologies, environmental monitoring, and data services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Firms that can demonstrate innovative applications of remote sensing in forestry management could leverage this project to expand their capabilities and partnerships in environmental conservation and reporting. As such, organisations with expertise in woodland habitat assessment and tracking canopy change are particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts arising from this initiative.
