View Scheme - SCM5841

Spatial Services, a division of the NSW Department of Finance, Services and Innovation (DFSI), has established the Remote Sensing Services and Equipment Prequalification Scheme (the Scheme).

The scheme covers the acquisition, processing and supply of spatial data and remote sensing services. The scheme has been established as part of the NSW Governments procurement reforms, which aim to simplify contracts and tenders and improve opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises to do business with the NSW Government

The Remote Sensing Services and Equipment Prequalification Scheme will be administered by the Spatial Services Scheme Manager. The scheme manager is responsible for managing the work categories, evaluating submissions for new suppliers, supporting customers in the sourcing process and running the supplier performance management system, as well as other general management tasks. The operation of the scheme is overseen by a Scheme Committee with membership from Spatial Services internal. Updates will be provided to independent organisations such as the NSW Imagery and Elevation Working Group and the Location and Leadership Group. The Scheme Committee is responsible for governance of the Scheme, including, endorsing and participating in supplier performance reviews, and providing direction and guidance on Scheme operations.

Applicants need to answer all the questions in the online application and provide the following information:

• Organisation information.

• Details of company capacity and capability for each nominated category.

• Proof of relevant insurances.

• Satisfactory referee reports

• Financial capacity and details of Legal and ICAC proceedings.

• Agreement to the Scheme Rules.

The information provided may be subject to assessment, reference checking, searches, interview, enquiries, and confirmation. Applicants and Suppliers are deemed to have authorised any such action.

Prequalification:

The Scheme has two (2) prequalification types:

Advanced Prequalification:

Suppliers approved to provide high risk contracts or contracts valued over $150,000 (excluding GST).

Registered Prequalification:

Suppliers approved to provide low risk contracts valued up to $150,000 (excluding GST).

The Scheme has three (3) main categories of work:

A. Aircraft Services

Remote sensing capable fixed wing aircraft and helicopters and / or their operation and maintenance.

B. Data and Processing

Remote sensing data that defines the Earth's above ground and below water surface, and depict height information, vegetation, floods, and other special conditions and features. Typically collected from aerial imagery, satellite imagery, or active sensors such as LiDAR and RADAR.

C. Remote Sensing Hardware and Software

Equipment that captures various wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum; and equipment that uses technology to measure the distance from the sensor to the target feature.

Each of these categories has associated sub-types and descriptions.

Suppliers approved to provide low risk contracts valued up to $150,000 (excluding GST).

Suppliers approved to provide high risk contracts or contracts valued over $150,000 (excluding GST).
