We are particularly interested in suppliers who have experience using GIS technology, handheld GPS devices, field survey techniques. We would like to also have the option to explore the use of future ancillary technologies such as Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) and terrestrial based LiDAR. We do not expect all suppliers to be able to provide all services, not all of these skills will be required for each mini-competition.
