The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is a publicly owned procurement arm of the UK government that supplies products and services to a wide range of customers including emergency services. It recently ran an £8m framework tender designed specifically to select companies able to provide tailored drone hardware and services for the Emergency Services and Blue Light sector in the UK.
C logworks Technologies is proud to announce that we have been accepted as part of a consortium (led by Skyports and also featuring Wingcopter) on this YPO framework agreement.
Our consortium is one of few companies selected able to offer solutions to the four lots required, namely: Drones purchases, associated products and repairs, maintenance and services of hardware products, as well as associated flying services.
In particular, Clogworks Technologies is well placed to offer hardware and supporting packages for sub 20kg multirotor drones for surveillance and reconnaissance applications and delivery applications.
Blue Light surveillance would typically require a dual sensor payload with a daylight camera and 30x optical zoom and a high performance infrared camera.
Emergency deliveries would typically include blood and/or medicines and drones would require sufficient payload capacity and flight time to deliver this reliably to location.
Drone applications within the Blue Light sector are increasing all the time and in order to maximise return on investment (ROI), it makes a lot of sense to acquire a multicopter with variable payload configurations that can be upgraded to allow for flexible use in line with emergency services evolving needs.
Cloqworks Dark Matter range of products is uniquely placed to cater for this need.
