PS22495 Space project- Research and Insights

Notice Description

***THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION*** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under Crown Commercial Services DPS Research & Insights RM6126. Brief Description of Requirement The overall aim of this project is to create a clear, well evidenced, and compelling understanding of the case for government intervention in the UK space sector, which can be used to inform the prioritisation choices government makes in delivering interventions within the UK economy. In turn, this work should provide a clearer understanding of the economic, social, and end-user benefits of the space sector in the UK, and improve our understanding of where intervention is needed to achieve government objectives. The customer for this evidence is government. The specific objectives of this project are: - To produce an accessible, concise report detailing the case for UK government intervention in the UK space sector. This shall: o Be informed by a rapid evidence review of existing literature; o Develop the evidence base for space, drawing together economic, social, and end-user benefits; o Highlight, where possible, the opportunity cost of inaction, with breakdowns by activity and sector segment; o Place the available insight and evidence into the global context, with benchmarking where appropriate; o Use creative descriptive visualisation techniques to ensure reporting is accessible to a wide audience of senior government leaders. - This report must look to answer the following questions: o What are the critical market failures that justify government intervention in the space sector? o What is the scale of the UK and Global opportunity in the space economy? o What are the key economic and social benefits the UK derives from space activity? o What are the risks and costs involved in UK intervention, and where has intervention succeeded or not succeeded in the past?
