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 that a Further Competition is being conducted under the CCS Space-Enabled and Geospatial Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) (reference RM6235) for a geospatial analytics and remote monitoring service. Suppliers can access this by visiting https://crowncommercialservice.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html and locating ITT reference itt_80667. Interested suppliers who are not on the DPS who may wish to participate should visit https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6235 for further details.
