The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an expression of interest deadline set for 30th April 2024. The project involves working with Transport Scotland on investigating Deer Vehicle Collisions and potentially conducting drone counts of deer. This opportunity is suitable for contractors experienced in using drones for counting deer who wish to be part of future formal procurement exercises. The tender offers a chance to contribute to mitigating Deer Vehicle Collisions on the Scottish road network. Businesses specialising in environmental protection services and drone technology are well-suited to compete and potentially grow their presence in this sector. ## Notice NatureScot and Transport Scotland are working together on a long-standing project investigating Deer Vehicle Collisions (DVCs) on the Scottish road network.
