Drones and Drone Services
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Security, Defence & Safety Equipment — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 4,182 valued Security, Defence & Safety Equipment tenders in our corpus.
Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation has published 4 Security, Defence & Safety Equipment notices, about every 14 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around October 2027.
We are renewing an existing solution and seeking interest from suppliers of drones, UAV’s and associated services such as servicing, maintenance, surveying, distribution, photography, video production, analysis and surveillance.
We are particularly interested in understanding your current route to market, customer base and the challenges around selling to and working with the wider public sector.
As part of this exercise, we are also seeking views of potential YPO customers who may use this solution as compliant procurement route.
We envisage the routes to market being Competitive Selection Process for lots 1 and 2 (Drones and Drone Services) and Award Without Competition on lot 1 only. (Drones) For clarity, this early engagement is focused on drones, UAVs and associated services that support emergency services and wider public-sector operational requirements.
Services relating solely to general photography, events filming, wedding/portrait photography, hobbyist drone activity or standard commercial media production are not the primary focus of this engagement, unless they form part of a specialist UAV or operational service relevant to public safety, inspection, surveying, surveillance, resilience, analysis, maintenance, servicing or associated support.
