The Ministry for the Environment (the Ministry) is seeking proposals to field check areas of forest loss to assist with determining whether deforestation has occurred at each site. The Ministry will provide these target areas of forest loss. A draft set is included with this RFP as a separate file. Images of each area of forest loss are required to provide evidence of the current land use. This could include evidence of replanting (ongoing forestry land use) or evidence of conversion to another land use like grazing or settlement (deforestation). In some cases, the future land use intention may be unclear.

The Land Use Carbon Analysis System (LUCAS) is used for reporting on the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector in NZ’s annual national greenhouse gas inventory report. LUCAS uses a combination of multispectral satellite imagery-based mapping and ground-based forest measurements to quantify the greenhouse gas emissions and removals occurring in this sector.

The Ministry is looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to deliver imagery products over forest loss areas. They need to have a good understanding of the forestry sector and land management practices associated with harvesting, replanting and deforestation. They also need to be able provide a cost-effective solution which does not exceed a total price of $300,000 and must be able to supply all deliverables by 30 June 2020.

This tender has been awarded.
