The procurement process falls under the industry category of Satellites (CPV Code: 34712200) and covers a wide geographical scope, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £40,979,862, commenced on 22 October 2024, and will run until 31 December 2028. The procurement method used was a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, above the threshold. This contract was awarded to Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, with the award notice published on 16 December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the satellite and space technology sector, particularly those specialising in satellite manufacturing and related services. Given the scale of the contract and the involvement of a major buying organisation like the Ministry of Defence, established companies with capabilities in large-scale satellite projects would find this tender particularly suitable. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could benefit by forming partnerships with larger firms or by focusing on subcontracting opportunities within the project. This procurement underscores the Ministry of Defence's commitment to advancing space technology capabilities, thereby creating a dynamic environment for industry growth and innovation.
