## Summary

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) - Marine and Fisheries Division is seeking a contractor for the "NI Nearshore Seabed Mapping Project" in Northern Ireland. The project falls under the services category and involves conducting a nearshore seabed mapping survey for the NI coastal area. The tender is in the Accelerated Open Procedure stage due to the urgent need to set up the service promptly, considering weather and tidal conditions. The project aims to provide valuable insights for better environmental management and support NI in facing climate change challenges.

Businesses in the aerial mapping services industry would find opportunities in this tender. Companies with expertise in high-resolution mapping, marine habitats, and geomorphology are well-suited to compete. The detailed image of the nearshore seabed will be crucial for mapping marine habitats and underwater cultural heritage assets. The contracting authority, DAERA, is located in Belfast, UK. Interested parties can access further information on the tender via the eTendersNI website.

## Notice

DAERA are seeking to appoint a suitable Contractor to provide a nearshore seabed mapping survey for the entirety of the Northern Ireland (NI) coastal area. This survey will create a valuable digital asset which will enable better management of NIs coastal environments and also NIs blue carbon habitats, which are becoming increasingly important as NI faces the challenges of climate change. Data will provide a high resolution map of the NI nearshore seabed, which is essential for the mapping of nearshore marine habitats and underwater cultural heritage assets (such as historic wrecks) as well as providing a detailed image of the nearshore geomorphology. All information associated with this competition can be found in the tender documentation. The Accelerated Open Procedure has been chosen for this tender competition as there is an urgent requirement for the service to be set up given the short window of opportunity for flights to carry out imaging.
