The award for this project, part of a larger framework initiative, was signed on 2nd May 2017, following an open procurement method. This project was aimed at developing a methodology for evaluating land features using various remote sensing technologies, and it involves test catchments in Scotland. The procurement process was completed with the chosen supplier being RSK, based in Glasgow, and the total contract value amounts to £74,543.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in remote sensing, environmental monitoring, and agricultural management technologies. Companies equipped to provide innovative solutions such as satellite imagery, aerial photography, or related analytical services would be well-positioned to compete in future projects under similar procurement processes. Engaging with the Scottish Government in such initiatives could enhance business growth, particularly for firms looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts focused on environmental sustainability and rural development.
