II.2.4) Description of the procurement
YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a framework agreement for the provision of various types of drones as stated within the following categories through a purchase only option.
The intention of all drone categories within Lot 1 is for customers to choose a cost effective system which best meets their requirements. It is logical that more capable systems will also be able to achieve the requirements of the lower capability categories. Suppliers should only put forward higher capability systems in the category which best reflects the capability and not in the categories intended for lower specified systems, for example a system with a flight time of 2 hours and IP rating of minimum of IP45 should not be included in a submission for a non weather capable drone.
