Scope

Title

ReSCUE (Reducing Seabird Collisions Using Evidence): provision of Lidar-coupled

Reference

P-32676

Description

This project aims to appoint suppliers of Digital Aerial Surveys (DAS) coupled with airborne Lidar to a procurement framework, which will then be used to commission a series of mini-competitions for the ReSCUE (Reducing Seabird Collisions Using Evidence) project. The initial requirement will be to provide DAS imagery coupled with Lidar data for a series of validation surveys (approx. June - September 2024); assuming these are successful, following determination of new data collection areas in Work Package 2, a campaign of DAS coupled with Lidar data collection for target seabird species will be required (approx. January 2025 to June 2026), wholly or partly within offshore wind farms in UK waters.
