Tender Details

UK Space Agency (UKSA), in collaboration with NI Space and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), is seeking potential remote sensing solutions to predict, detect and monitor the extent and movement of the Blue Green Algae in Lough Neagh.



Proposed solutions are expected to provide a remote sensing solution to the prediction, early detection, monitoring, and movement of blue-green algae in Lough Neagh and other water bodies in Northern Ireland. We are particularly interested in proposals from organisations that can combine terrestrial data and services (e.g. AI, quantum, machine learning, drones, geospatial data) with satellite data and services, and can provide analysis to derive value-added insights, to develop innovative solutions for customers.





Phase 1 is intended to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a proposed concept and its viability as a solution for UKSA, DAERA, and NI Space. UKSA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to extend from Phase 1 with successful bidders as part of this pre-commercial procurement.



Large algal blooms are generally seasonal (Spring/Summer) and therefore the window of opportunity to test solutions may be reduced. However, it is likely that there will be blue green algae blooms present in different locations throughout most of the year. Phase 1 will run until March 2025 with a potential call for a Phase 2 in the 2025-2026 financial year.
