The brief

The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) is an executive agency sponsored by Defra.

As the only accredited paying agency in England, the RPA makes payments to farmers, traders and land owners.

The RPA also make payments on behalf of Natural England, and manages over 40 schemes to help ensure England has a healthy rural economy and strong rural communities.

Satellite data is business critical for RPA to provide risk assurance in the delivery of the Farming and Countryside Programme (FCP) schemes which use the RPA's Rural Land Register (RLR).

The current compliance monitoring processes for FCP schemes are manual, resource-intensive, inefficient and have high fraud and error rates.

They rely on field visits, paperwork, and subjective assessments, leading to delayed evaluations, increased administrative burdens, and only capture a small percentage of the entire population.

To overcome these challenges, RPA requires an advanced technological solution capable of streamlining national monitoring processes.

The purpose of this notice is for the RPA to make known its intention of a planned procurement and to commence the market engagement process (in advance of commencing any formal procurement process) for a geospatial analytics and remote monitoring platform.

Prospective tenderers are requested to read the prospectus on this Contracts Finder microsite and to complete a response to the market engagement questionnaire in Annex 1 of the prospectus by Friday 28th June 2024 10:00.
