## Summary

River Clyde Homes, a public housing organisation based in Greenock, UK, is seeking tenders for UAV Condition Survey Services as part of its pre-planned maintenance strategy. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 4th August 2021. This open procedure invites interested parties to conduct annual condition surveys of the company’s high-rise block portfolio in Inverclyde, utilising unmanned aerial vehicle technology. The successful consultancy will likely be RICS registered and able to manage a contract that could run for an initial two years with options for renewal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in surveying, drone technology, and maintenance services to expand their operations. Companies that hold essential certifications, such as RICS membership, and demonstrate experience in similar contracts will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, those with robust insurance coverage and strong financial stability will enhance their eligibility for this contract, thereby contributing to their business growth in the public sector procurement landscape.

## 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.
