The contract, valued at £20,450 GBP, has a contract period from 5th December 2022 to 21st March 2023. This project falls under the main procurement category of services and involves mapping software development and data analysis services. The tender period ended on 17th November 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses with expertise in remote sensing, earth observation, and software development to participate in creating national-scale habitat mapping across England. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete. Interested businesses should focus on the production of technical reports, statistical analysis, and workflow scripts as part of the tender requirements. ## Notice "Expertise in remote sensing / earth observation essential. This project will explore how individual grassland habitat types (Acid, Calcareous and Neutral Grasslands and Improved Grassland) may be distinguished from each other using satellite imagery and how this can inform national-scale habitat mapping across England. This will use field collected habitat records and satellite imagery to explore differences in spectral signatures between the four broad grassland types, and how other environmental datasets or differences in seasonality may be used to distinguish these classes reliably. The contractor will be expected to produce a technical report documenting the statistical analysis undertaken, methodological steps, key findings, limitations and recommendations, shapefile of classified grassland types, workflow scripts - annotated reproducible analytical pathways of workflow undertaken."
