## Description

The Office for National Statistics \(ONS\) is looking to identify and engage with industry partners to help bring third party data to directly support a 'shift' to accessing better more relevant data sources and to improve the aggregate official statistics about our population, society and economy that decision makers, businesses and citizens so urgently need\. ONS would like to improve the accuracy of their green spaces statistics by using aerial imagery to estimate how much green space exists in residential gardens\. This is a research project and the first attempt will calculate the percentage of green pixels in the image\. A second attempt will improve on the accuracy of this by eliminating items which are not living such as green sheds\. Additional information: ONS is seeking to develop partnerships with organisations that hold this data; which would be used for research purposes initially\. As such, ONS have no budget available for this and will not pay for the data\. ONS will however offer suppliers an opportunity to work with a world class statistics organisation, to deliver better and more timely statistics to be used by all for the benefit of the public good\. The contract dates provided are estimations due to the nature of this requirement\. To apply for this opportunity, please 'Opt In' to the project and provide contact details\. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
