Description

Waverley Borough Council is seeking to appoint a fully licensed, insured and experienced drone photography firm that can offer its Housing Development Team a flexible, professional and high quality service. The council has undertaken an increasing volume of affordable home development, mainly on its own land / sites. Such development takes place in "full view" of its stakeholders that include residents, tenants, the surrounding community and its councillors and those officers involved in the day-to-day management of such projects.

Over the last three years, drone photography providing still images, panoramic views and latterly interactive web-based footage has proved extremely useful and powerful marketing and project management tool. Images, such as those reproduced below, can in a single shot convey the scale and quality of the council's developments. Such images have been used for a bi-monthly newsletter; to identify boundary and adjacency issues and to support planning applications, consultancy procurement and a wide range of correspondence.

The council is now looking to renew an existing 3-year appointment for a further three years with a drone photography firm and develop this approach to council media engagement.

This tender is to be completed electronically using the SE Shared Services Procurement eSourcing portal.
