This procurement, identified as RE17237, falls within the transport equipment industry category, with a total estimated value of £30,000 GBP. The deadline for bids is set for 10th July 2017 at 14:00, and the contract period is expected to commence on 12th July 2017, lasting for two years until 12th July 2019. The procurement method employed is the open procedure, which allows for broad participation. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of geophysical equipment, particularly those developing sensors and software for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Companies that produce rugged and reliable technology compatible with UAV operations in extreme environments, such as Antarctica, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The strategic alliance between UK SBS and Crown Commercial Service also indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender process. ## Notice The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday 10th July 2017 at 14:00 Note : Please disregard any content in this notice that requests your organisation "to apply directly to the buyer" as this unfortunately a system generated error, that is outside of the Contracting Authorities control . All tender information must be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Aeromagnetic sensor, associated data acquisition system and attitude compensation software The British Antarctic Survey is seeking to purchase an aeromagnetic sensor, associated data acquisition system and attitude compensation software suitable for operation in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The platform has an optimal payload of 10kg. For geophysics we aim to operate magnetic and other sensors simultaneously. The UAV platform will supply the magnetic data acquisition system with DC power (5, 12, or 24V), and optionally a NMEA GPS data stream, 1pps timing pulse, GPS antenna feed, x,y,z data feed from a three axis magnetometer (TFM100-G2), and lidar altimeter data. The platform will be operating in Antarctica from remote field camps for extended missions lasting up to 14 hours. The overall magnetic system must therefore be rugged, reliable and easy to use. The full detailed specification can be found in the attached RE17237 Aeromagnetic sensor ITQ Invitation to Quote document.
