## Summary

The Welsh Government has completed a procurement process for a project titled "Soil Moisture Mapping & Coal Tip Analysis" within the environmental monitoring industry category. This service contract was centred around detailed site characterisation and soil moisture mapping of 83 disused coal tips across Wales, using satellite imagery over two acquisition windows. The procurement method employed was limited, with an award procedure executed without prior publication of a call for competition under Regulation 32, due to absence of competition for technical reasons. The signed contract was valued at £247,850 and was finalised on 17th May 2024. The work focuses on UKL (Wales) with Central Alliance Pre Construction Services Ltd as the awarded supplier. Key stakeholders include the Welsh Government, based in Llandudno Junction, with James Roberts as the contact point.

This tender offers lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in remote sensing, GIS, and environmental services, particularly those with experience in handling large-scale environmental monitoring projects. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with advanced satellite imagery and analytical capabilities would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts.
