BETAThis is a new independent transparency project, not an official government website. The data is sourced from public registers and may contain errors, so always verify against the official source. If you find a problem, please report it here.
This Dynamic Purchasing System is to establish a pool of qualified suppliers to provide field data collection services. We invite you to register if you can cover any aspects of field data collection as follows:
-Survey work such as National Forest Inventory (NFI) and Trees Outside of Woodlands (TOW)
-The installation of surveying/monitoring equipment for our National Capital Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) work
-Suppliers who can help with our Forest Mensuration and Production surveys (such as U18), Forest Attribute Surveys to update GIS information, collection of data from experimental sites.
If you are specifically interested in the surveying work, successful suppliers will be required to undertake surveys such as but not limited to the following examples: Woodland surveys, Forest production and Forest attribute surveys, Storm and Windblown damage survey.
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.
