This research contract, titled "Developing the Use of Remote Sensing for Contaminated Land Management in Wales and England," falls under the research and development consultancy services category. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period scheduled to close on 23 January 2019. The contract is set to commence on 4 February 2019 and run until 20 March 2020, catering to delivery across the UK and beyond. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses involved in environmental research, drone technology, or remote sensing solutions. Innovative companies, research institutions, and SMEs with expertise in developing and applying drone technology or environmental remediation strategies would be well-positioned to participate. The requirement to trial different drones and remote sensing technologies implies a collaborative landscape, inviting diverse partnerships between commercial entities and academic institutions. ## Notice The contract will be commissioned as a research project to explore the use of drone and remote sensing technology to help tackle water pollution arising from metal mines in Wales & England. Work with academic partner or commercial company to trial different drones and Hyperspectral sensors. Develop the use of 'drones' for operational and compliance work across Government. Align relevant biophysical characteristics data derived from Living Wales (satellite derived) with the project and feed outputs from project into Living Wales. Trial drone mounted LiDAR sensor and very high resolution stereo optical sensors to capture DEMs of site. Investigate if temperature is measurable, to help identify drainage and seepage points around the mines (could also be applied to coal mines) potentially leading to opportunities for geothermal & renewable technologies for example. The intention is for the work to feed into and influence remediation strategies being developed by regulators for priority catchments. Evaluate effective use of remote sensing technology for wider Government site investigation and land use compliance monitoring. Create opportunity for research institutions and innovators. Present and disseminate findings of the work at the 4th Annual International MineXchange event. The contract will run from February 2019 to March 2020.
