This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically within the unmanned aerial vehicles industry. The tender period closes on 12 March 2021, with a delivery deadline set for 31 March 2021. The contract value is estimated at £230,000, and the procurement is being conducted through an open procedure. This opportunity presents significant prospects for businesses specialising in unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly those that offer integrated sensor solutions. Companies that provide equipment for data integration, as well as training services for their operation, would find this tender particularly well-suited for their expertise. The requirement for high-performance components and a comprehensive warranty indicates that providers with a strong technical background and robust after-sales support will be well-positioned to compete effectively. ## Notice We require a ready-to-fly small unmanned aircraft (SUA) system with fully-integrated co-aligned hyperspectral visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (400 - 2500nm) and LiDAR sensors, along with in-flight data capture and storage system. To enable data to be captured to high geolocation accuracy, the system must be fitted with high performance GNSS/GPS and IMU. The system package is to include all software needed for data integration, post-processing and mission planning to enable the full workflow to be completed. Quotes are to include for the supply of an initial 'essential spares' package, on-site instruction/training in equipment assembly and operation and in use of the software, containers for equipment storage and transport, and a comprehensive warranty. Delivery is required to Forest Research's Northern Research Station, Roslin, Scotland EH259SY Delivery is required no later than 31 March 2021. ### Lot Information Lot 1 We require a ready-to-fly small unmanned aircraft (SUA) system with fully-integrated co-aligned hyperspectral visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (400 - 2500nm) and LiDAR sensors, along with in-flight data capture and storage system.
