This tender falls under the goods category within the research and technology agriculture industry, and it took place under an open procurement method. The tender period concluded on 9th September 2021, with the contract awarded to Pro-Lite Technology Ltd on 19th November 2021 for a total value of £300,000. The contract requires the delivery of a small unmanned aircraft system featuring integrated sensors and software for data capture and processing.

This opportunity presents significant avenues for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in advanced technology solutions, aerial systems, and data analysis. Companies capable of providing cutting-edge UAV systems with integrated VNIR and SWIR sensors, as well as those offering training and ongoing support services, would find this tender well-aligned with their offerings.

## Notice

AEC require a ready-to-fly small unmanned aircraft vehicle (SUA/UAV) system with (ideally) fully-integrated co-aligned hyperspectral visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (400 - 2500nm) and LiDAR sensors, along with in-flight data capture and storage system. To enable data to be captured to high geolocation accuracy, the system must be fitted with high performance GNSS/GPS and IMU. The system package is to include all software needed for data integration, post-processing and mission planning to enable the full utilisation of the payload attached/integrated to the UAV. We are looking for delivery of the solution mid-end November 2021.
