The Government’s Geospatial Commission has awarded Bluesky International a multi-million-pound contract to supply aerial photography to public sector organisations across Great Britain.
The contract, which also includes the provision of 3D height models and colour infrared, runs for 3 years (with an option to extend for a further 2 years) and is worth more than £15 million.
Branded as Aerial Photography for Great Britain (APGB), the contract commits Leicestershire-based Bluesky as the sole supplier of data on a two-year cyclic basis.
It means more than 4500 local authorities, emergency services, environmental bodies, and central government departments will gain access to the most up-to-data aerial imagery and height data available – free at point of use.
It is the first time the contract has been awarded to a sole supplier and puts the innovative Ashbybased aerial survey company firmly at the forefront of aerial data provision for Great Britain.
