## Summary

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) through Defra Group Commercial in London, UK, has initiated a planning stage tender titled "ReSCUE (Reducing Seabird Collisions Using Evidence): provision of Lidar-coupled". The tender falls under the services category and has an estimated value of 1.0 GBP. The procurement process is open with a start date of 12th October 2023 and a contract period from 18th December 2023 to 18th December 2026. The tender aims to procure Digital Aerial Surveys (DAS) coupled with airborne Lidar for seabird species conservation within UK waters.

This tender by Defra offers opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs interested in research and development consultancy services to compete. Businesses providing Digital Aerial Survey services, Lidar technologies, and research and development consultancy services are well-suited to participate. The procurement process includes the possibility of subcontracting and collaboration with other suppliers. The timeline of the tender supports long-term engagement and potential for recurring business for successful suppliers.

## Notice

This project aims to appoint suppliers of Digital Aerial Surveys (DAS) coupled with airborne Lidar to a procurement framework, which will then be used to commission a series of mini-competitions for the ReSCUE (Reducing Seabird Collisions Using Evidence) project. The initial requirement will be to provide DAS imagery coupled with Lidar data for a series of validation surveys (approx. June - September 2024); assuming these are successful, following determination of new data collection areas in Work Package 2, a campaign of DAS coupled with Lidar data collection for target seabird species will be required (approx. January 2025 to June 2026), wholly or partly within offshore wind farms in UK waters.
