The contract period spans from July 25, 2022, to March 31, 2026, offering opportunities for business growth.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the marine survey services and aerial photography services industries to compete for mini-tenders across marine waters in England and/or Wales.

Businesses in these sectors should consider engaging with the Defra Network eTendering Portal for potential growth and participation in the digital aerial survey framework.

## Notice

We wish to establish a framework contract for provision of marine digital aerial surveys for seabird and marine mammal abundance and distribution. This will ensure providers have passed technical and quality checks against suitability to deliver required data. Providers accepted onto the framework will later be given opportunities to bid for a series of mini-tenders across marine waters in England and / or Wales. Exact areas of interest will be determined, but surveys are likely to commence in spring / summer 2022. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions. To access appropriate tendering and contractual documents, please access the E-Tendering portal at https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk", ensuring that your registration includes "Defra".
