Brief

We are renewing our existing drone and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) solution and invite suppliers to express interest. We seek providers of drones, UAVs, and related services including maintenance, surveying, distribution, photography, video production, analysis, and surveillance. This opportunity focuses specifically on drones and services that support emergency services and public sector operational needs such as public safety, inspection, surveying, surveillance, resilience and analysis. We particularly welcome input on your route to market, existing customer base, and experience working with the public sector. We also welcome feedback from potential YPO customers who may use this as a compliant procurement route. The procurement will use Competitive Selection Process for lots 1 and 2 (Drones and Drone Services) and Award Without Competition for lot 1 (Drones only). Note: Services relating solely to general photography, events filming, wedding photography, hobbyist activities, or standard commercial media production are not the focus unless they form part of a specialist operational service relevant to public safety or emergency response.
