Authority: Scottish Government (Central government)

The lotProcurement structure
single lot · value publishedLot #1We require LiDAR survey outputs for the proposed survey areas, which will be detailed…AwardedPublished value£750,000
We require LiDAR survey outputs for the proposed survey areas, which will be detailed within the specification, including LAS files, Digital Surface Models, Digital Terrain Models and associated QA assurance statements. The Areas of Interest define the anticipated extent of the LiDAR survey.
These extend over multiple geographic areas, as defined within the specification.
We anticipate that the surveys will need to be phased to coincide with appropriate low tide conditions. We anticipate that ‘standard LiDAR sensor’ will be used, though if the contractor proposed to use Green LiDAR / Marine LiDAR to deliver the same outputs whilst the tide is in, then we remain open to these approaches. Given the expansive areas, we do not expect UAV/Drone surveys to be appropriate.
