The procurement process involves seeking partners to provide LIDAR scanning services for assessing above-ground biomass and carbon, and hydrological run-off risk for farms in Great Britain. The tender is currently active and falls under the "Agricultural services" industry category. The deadline for tender submissions is 27th June 2024, and the contract period is from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2025. This opportunity presented by AHDB can be beneficial for businesses involved in scanning services and agricultural technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically encouraged to participate in this open procurement process. Businesses that can provide LIDAR scanning services with expertise in terrain modelling, canopy height assessment, and carbon stock measurement are well-suited to compete and potentially secure contracts across different regions of Great Britain. ## Notice For this tender, AHDB are seeking partner/s to provide LIDAR scanning services to inform the assessment of above ground biomass and carbon, and hydrological run-off risk for between 120 and 200 farms across Great Britain. Farm recruitment for participation in this project is currently underway hence exact numbers of farms and their location cannot be confirmed at this stage. Most farms will be mixed farms with two or more enterprise types. Uncropped land such as woodland will also be included. To provide flexibility, this work has been divided into three regional blocks, each provisionally comprising between 40 and 70 farms. The LIDAR dataset should cover all the farms identified as participating in the project. Details for two LIDAR resolutions is requested, 16 and 40 ppm, both with three or more returns. LIDAR acquisition must be carried out under leaf off conditions. It will be delivered formatted as a digital terrain model, a digital surface model, canopy height model, fully classified LAS file format and a RGB ortho mosaic in geotiff format. The above service is part of the project's overall requirement to measure, report and verify (MRV) the changes in carbon stocks within and across farms and provide farmers with information that can help them deliver better environmental services, whilst optimizing production efficiency. The final award will be for one resolution and the area scanned per farm will vary dependent on farm size and other factors. Tenderers may bid to scan farms in one or more regional blocks.
