## Summary

Natural England has recently awarded a contract for the procurement of a spectroradiometer to Analytik. The title of the tender was 'tNCEA Spectroradiometer' under the industry category of Surveying instruments. The procurement stage was the tender, and the contract value was £75,990 in GBP. The procurement method used was a direct procurement method with a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period is scheduled from 1st March 2024 to 31st March 2024. The location for the delivery addresses includes multiple countries such as the United Kingdom, Europe, and British Oversea Territories.

This procurement opportunity for a spectroradiometer by Natural England provides a chance for businesses in the surveying instruments industry sector. Companies able to supply suitable spectroradiometers aligned with S2 data wavelengths (~440-2200nm) would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The contract period starting from 1st March 2024 and ending on 31st March 2024 presents a time-bound opportunity for businesses to engage with Natural England and contribute to their data collection and analysis activities related to habitat identification in England using Sentinel-2 data.

## Notice

Living England maps broad habitat classes to a modified version of the UK BAP broad habitat classification framework, due to difficulties in assessing all habitats at this resolution using satellite imagery captured at 10m spatial resolution. The aim of this request to provide a spectrometer from which to assess spectral values from a range of habitats to compare and assess Sentinel-2 against. This will aid and improve the ability to identify habitats across England from S2 data from varying times, locations and phenological phases. This project will require: * Quotation and provision of a suitable spectroradiometer to align with the wavelengths of S2 data (spectral range ~440-2200nm). * A portable, robust field spectroradiometer. * Instrument to be used in the lab and field. Shall be used for collection of reflectance and radiance radiometric measurements (using solar illumination). * Training in best use of the equipment.
