In plain English

Natural England needs an expert to analyse sand dune systems across protected sites in England using laser scanning technology (LiDAR). The work involves measuring how much sand has moved in and out of these dunes over the past 10 years and mapping the shape changes that have occurred.

What the buyer wants

• Obtain and process LiDAR (laser scanning) data for multiple SSSI (protected) dune sites across England • Calculate net sediment budgets: how much sand has been gained or lost at each site over a decade • Map and quantify topographic changes (height and shape variations) across the dune fields • Deliver detailed analysis reports showing spatio-temporal patterns of dune movement and change

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a specialist research and analysis contract requiring advanced academic or professional expertise in geomorphology and LiDAR data analysis: most trades people and general small businesses cannot deliver this work.
