## Summary

The procurement process for the "C1075 - Satellite Imagery Leakage Detection" contract, initiated by NI Water and its subsidiaries, is aimed at acquiring satellite imagery services for leakage detection using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the repair and maintenance domain, and the location specified for the delivery is in the United Kingdom. The contract is currently active, with a total value of £3,000,000. The procurement follows a selective method, characterised by a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. Key dates include the submission deadline on 8 February 2021, with the contract having an initial duration of two years, and options to extend further for three additional years if necessary.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in satellite imagery, radar technology, and utility services, particularly those that can deliver advanced detection capabilities for water leakage. Companies with expertise in providing public utilities and those specialising in radar surveillance equipment would be well-positioned to compete. With three bids submitted, including one from a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) and one from a non-EU entity, there is a competitive landscape, allowing diverse business actors to potentially engage and grow through this contract opportunity.

## Notice

Provision of Satellite Imagery for Leakage Detection using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor (or equivalent) Satellite Imagery for Leakage Detection. The satellite imagery must have the ability to scan for ground saturation displaying areas of potential leakage. This will then prompt our leakage teams to proactively investigate the affected areas. As a minimum bidders must have satellite technology available that can: * Penetrate the ground; * Find ground saturation; * Differentiate the saturation between treated and untreated water; and * Identify Points of Interest for leakage detection.
