## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by River Clyde Homes, is centred around the provision of UAV Condition Survey Services to assess the external facades of their hi-rise block (HRB) portfolio located in Inverclyde. The tender, titled "UAV Condition Survey Services," falls under the industry category of housing and community amenities and is currently in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 22nd June 2021 at 12:00 PM. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing any qualified bidders to participate. Interested parties must submit their proposals electronically via the Public Contracts Scotland platform. Financial and technical suitability assessments will be a key component of the selection criteria, which includes having appropriate insurance coverage and relevant experience.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for surveying consultancies, especially those registered with the Royal Chartered Institute of Surveyors (RICS) and equipped with UAV technology for aerial inspections. Businesses with expertise in conducting condition surveys, particularly for high-rise buildings, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given that the contract may extend for up to five years, firms seeking long-term partnerships in the public sector, particularly those focusing on community amenities, should consider pursuing this opportunity to support their growth and expand their service offerings in this domain.

## Notice

As part of River Clyde Homes pre-planned maintenance strategy, we are seeking to appoint an RICS registered Surveying Consultancy to carry out annual condition surveys of the external facades of our hi-rise block (HRB) portfolio in Inverclyde, based on a 5-year strategy of visual annual condition surveys and subsequent reporting.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

River Clyde Homes currently have 13 Hi-rise blocks that we mostly own and also factor where shared ownership is involved. The intention is that all 13 blocks will be surveyed annually by using ultra high-resolution digital imagery (min 4K resolution), that has been gathered utilising un-manned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology covering all elevations and returns, from ground level to roof line. Additionally, we seek to have all roofs, flashings and window interfaces recorded, with a general overview taken of the roof condition in addition to all elevations.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.

Renewal: The contract will run for an initial two-year duration. RCH may wish, at its sole discretion, to extend any resultant agreement for up to an additional three, 12-month periods, subject to the agreement of the successful bidder.
