## Summary

The Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute is procuring services for a project entitled "LiDAR Digital Topographic Scan of Northern Ireland." This tender, classified under digital mapping services, is currently in the planning stage. The contract is expected to be delivered over a two-year period, with potential for a twelve-month extension if unforeseen circumstances arise. Key activities include acquiring, processing, and delivering a comprehensive LiDAR dataset covering the entirety of Northern Ireland, using conventional aircraft for data collection. The deadline for submissions is crucial for interested parties and applications should comply with the legal basis outlined for this procurement.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in digital mapping, aerial survey, and data processing services to expand their portfolios. Companies that specialise in advanced mapping technologies, particularly those with experience in LiDAR systems and access to suitable aircraft, would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this procurement could facilitate growth through partnership with a key public sector organisation, thereby opening pathways for future contracts in similar fields or related services.

## Notice

The appointed Contractor will be responsible for acquiring, processing and delivering a LiDAR scan of the land area of Northern Ireland. The LiDAR data set must cover the entire land area of Northern Ireland and be provided at an absolute minimum resolution of 16 points per square metre under leaf-off conditions. It will be delivered formatted as digital terrain model, a digital surface model and fully classified LAS file format. The Contractor is responsible for carrying out the flight(s) needed to gather the LiDAR data using a helicopter or conventional fixed wing aircraft. Due the large scale of the areas to be covered, the use of drones will not be accepted.
