Satellite Imagery for Wales

The aim of the EO programme is to test and trial the use of satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques, in the design and implementation of the Rural Investment Schemes (RIS) and the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), to assess the extent which the use of satellite imagery (specifically VHR/VHF) could be used effectively for:

• Control and Compliance
• Suitability and Risk Mapping
• Automated Change Alerts and the potential to generate payments or further action
• Evaluation of Policy Impact The Client also aims to maximise the value of EO for the benefit of Wales, so includes wider priority policy areas, stakeholders and partners. The Contract will be split into two separate requirements or ‘Lots’. Suppliers may bid for one or both Lots. The Client will award a contract for each Lot to the highest scoring bidder. The Client reserves the right to award each Lot separately and at different times. The contract term will be for 2 years and shall have an option to extend for a further period of 12 months.
