Unmanned aerial vehicles

Description

YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a framework agreement for the supply of drones (UAVs) and associated products and services for use primarily in the emergency services market. This framework is designed to allow YPO to meet the needs of all public sector organisations by establishing an agreement where the end customer will place orders directly with the Provider on a ‘contract’ basis and the provider will deliver direct to the end customer on an agreed basis. YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a framework agreement for the provision of various types of drones as stated within the following categories through a purchase only option. The intention of all drone categories within Lot 1 is for customers to choose a cost effective system which best meets their requirements. It is logical that more capable systems will also be able to achieve the requirements of the lower capability categories. Suppliers should only put forward higher capability systems in the category which best reflects the capability and not in the categories intended for lower specified systems, for example a system with a flight time of 2 hours and IP rating of minimum of IP45 should not be included in a submission for a non weather capable drone. YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a framework agreement for the provision of associated products to be used in conjunction with a drone/s. This lot covers all types of products including (but not limited to): — daylight cameras, — thermal cameras, — dual day/IR cameras, — tablets/controller screens, — other payloads, — lighting, — loudspeakers, — delivery system, — parachutes, — other sensors, — cases, — backpacks. YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a framework agreement for the provision of associated services to be used in conjunction with a drone/s. This lot covers all types of services including (but not limited to): — drone hire (equipment only), — full drone service including equipment and pilots, — lease option, — bespoke package bundles such as (but not limited to): — software, — payload, — livestream transmitter. This lot will be tailored to specific local requirements therefore will be subject to a further competition. YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a framework agreement for the provision of drone repairs, maintenance and service.
