Through this programme, Cefas provide authoritative scientific information on the marine and transitional waters in the vicinity of potential new build nuclear power stations and require a Supplier to deliver the element described below. To support the delivery of the BEEMS Programme, Cefas require the Supplier to provide aerial data collection using a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) in the Sizewell to Thorpeness region on a quarterly basis. It is anticipated that the first flight will be undertaken in March 2026 and the final flight in December 2028 (with extension options as per point 4). On occasion, additional flights may be required, therefore Cefas requests a day rate cost in Appendix 6, for flights of a similar nature in the vicinity of Sizewell area. The purpose of this work is to safely conduct regular RPA flights in accordance with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) guidelines at the above locations for the purpose of acquiring survey data to meet environmental monitoring requirements. The Supplier's flight team will manage the planning, notifications, and safe execution of each survey. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79311000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £165,000 - **Contract Period:** 12/02/2026 to 31/12/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (2) - **Award:** CEFAS25-122 Contract to provide RPA flights in Sizewell region for BEEMS project (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **StirlingX Limited** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-PPON:PXYJ-5582-TZYG` - Value: £150,000 - Date: 02/02/2026 - **Award:** 2 (active) - Supplier(s): **StirlingX Limited** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-PPON:PXYJ-5582-TZYG` ## Contracts (1) - **Contract:** CEFAS25-122 Contract to provide RPA flights in Sizewell region for BEEMS project (active) - Signed Value: £180,000 - Signed Date: 18/03/2026 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F082874-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-03-23T09:46:45.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-17T07:25:18.534Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05f5a7
