PS24026 - UKSAC24_0007 - Point-to-point space transport market assessment

Notice Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS RM6235 Space-Enabled and Geospatial Services DPS. Brief Description of Requirement The aim of this procurement is to provide HMG officials and Ministers with a high-level, preliminary assessment of the feasibility commercial potential of a future UK P2P capability (i.e. the ability to host launch and/or return P2P missions with a foreign or domestic launch vehicle). The assessment could potentially inform the rationale for near to medium term policy decisions or HMG intervention to ensure the UK's ability to compete for potential P2P operations or to position UK early as an attractive P2P host.
