Title : Very high resolution (VHR) satellite data for monitoring land and water areas
Description : Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) is seeking for a provider of very high resolution (VHR) satellite data for monitoring land and water areas. The area of interest is (AoI) Finland and the surrounding coastal areas. Within this overall AoI Syke will define a number (approximately 10) of smaller monitoring areas. The availability of data should be daily (ignoring could cover) since we want to make time series for the selected areas. The time series require a consistent data source. The data shall be available 2022 onwards and have almost daily coverage and seven (7) visible light bands and one (1) near Infrared band. Data should be in very high resolution with pixel size between 3 m and 5 m. We are interested in historical data in addition to new acquisitions so the archive should extend as far as possible back in time. During year 2025 we aim to perform testing with the data and during years 2026-2029 utilize the data in monitoring activities.
Procedure identifier : f33d3d6b-b042-4ced-9665-d85993348063
Internal identifier : SYKE/2025/863
Type of procedure : Open
The procedure is accelerated : no
Justification for the accelerated procedure :
Main features of the procedure : 1. NOTIFICATION OF PROCUREMENT AND PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE The procurement procedure used is an open procedure. This is a procurement exceeding the EU threshold value, where the Finnish Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016, hereinafter referred to as the procurement law) is followed. 2. HANDLING OF TENDERS After the opening of the tenders, the inspection and evaluation of the tenders are carried out according to the criteria of the call for tenders. The opening session of the tenders is not public. 2.1 Verification of requirements for the tenderer In the handling of tenders, it is checked whether the tenderers meet the suitability requirements set for the tenderer's registration, financial and economic situation, and technical and professional competence. A tenderer who does not meet the set suitability requirements is excluded from the competition. If the tenderer or a member of its administrative, management, or supervisory body, or a person exercising representation, decision-making, or control authority, has been convicted of a crime referred to in section 80 of the procurement law, the tenderer is excluded from the competition. In addition, a tenderer may be excluded from the competition if the discretionary exclusion criterion referred to in section 81 of the procurement law applies to them. However, if the tenderer presents evidence of its reliability in accordance with section 82 of the procurement law, despite being subject to the exclusion criterion referred to in sections 80 or 81, and if the procurement unit considers the evidence and reliability sufficient, the tenderer is not excluded from the competition. 2.2 Evaluation of compliance with the call for tenders The offered products and services must comply with the content of the call for tenders and its attachments. The tenderer must respond to all required points and attach all required certificates/statements to their tender. The compliance of the tenders with the call for tenders is checked using the tender as a whole. Tenders that do not comply with the call for tenders or the terms of the procurement procedure are excluded from the competition. 2.3 Comparison of tenders The comparison of tenders is carried out in the manner stated in the "Decision-making criteria" section of the call for tenders. 2.4 Procurement decision and notification The procurement decision is sent to all tenderers. The contract is not formed by the notification of the procurement decision but requires a separate written agreement. The contract can be signed at the earliest when there are no obstacles to its signing as referred to in the procurement law, such as an enforcement ban. No compensation is paid to tenderers for making the tender, presenting it, or participating in the procedure. The procurement is not divided into parts, as it is not profitable considering the scope of the service package to be procured. Dividing into parts does not add value to the call for tenders, and not dividing the procurement into parts is not related to the exclusion of tenderers.
