Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the BEROE Framework under the Rapid Agile Prototyping, Scaled for Operations (RAPSO) Framework. This involved issuing an Invitation To Tender Lite (ITT Lite) to support the task objectives for acquiring a secure Ground Segment software solution for space-based ISR command & control. The project aimed to take through multiple suppliers to initial framework tasking under Lot 1. The procurement stage involved a Restricted procedure with the competition focusing on maturing and identifying requirements. The contracting authority aimed to award zero or more suppliers for framework tasking, with future work planned under Lot 1 and/or Operational Lot 2.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses capable of providing Ground Segment software solutions for space-based ISR command & control. Bidders were assessed based on their technical, commercial, and financial capabilities, with up to 6 suppliers proceeding to a demonstration stage. The contract awards were centred on selecting suppliers for Framework Contract Awards under Lot 1. The Ministry of Defence sought innovative solutions from suppliers that could meet the mission control system requirements for the UK MoD's space assets, providing scalability and interoperability. The tender aimed to create a framework for future operational systems targeted for non-civilian use.

Notice Title

BEROE Framework

Notice Description

DE&S (the Authority), under the Rapid Agile Prototyping, Scaled for Operations (RAPSO) Framework, intends to issue an Invitation To Tender "Lite" (ITT Lite) on behalf of Air Command (the Customer) to support the task objectives described in the Aim (below) and award zero (0), one (1) or more (with the intent being to take through two (2)) suppliers through to initial framework tasking under Lot 1). The intent for future BEROE work is to be placed under Lot 1 and/or the Operational Lot 2 subject to Authority approvals. Aim: The UK MoD requires a secure Ground Segment software solution for tasking, monitoring and controlling a space-based ISR constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites(s), which will form an integral component of the UK MoD ground segment architecture, acting as the primary mission control system for the Customer Satellite Operations Centre. The UK MoD is therefore seeking a provider to develop a technology roadmap, secure software development plan and assist (through demonstration & prototype development) with the maturation of system requirements and the development of a software architecture that will deliver an assured Mission Control System for space-based ISR command & control (C2) which is scalable to meet future operational needs, and enable interoperability with UK MoD owned space assets.

Lot Information

Ground segment software solutions (core plus adaptations)

The UK MoD requires a secure Ground Segment software solution for tasking, monitoring and controlling a space-based ISR constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites(s), which will form an integral component of the UK MoD ground segment architecture, acting as the primary mission control system for the Customer Satellite Operations Centre. The UK MoD is therefore seeking a provider to develop a technology roadmap, secure software development plan and assist (through demonstration & prototype development) with the maturation of system requirements and the development of a software architecture that will deliver an assured Mission Control System for space-based ISR command & control (C2) which is scalable to meet future operational needs, and enable interoperability with UK MoD owned space assets. The project, named BEROE, during the competition and development phases (refer to tender process stage 1-4), will focus on maturing, deriving and identifying UK MoD requirements, testing hypotheses, addressing key challenges and stimulating industry to develop product roadmaps to support future operational systems targeted for non-civilian use. Bidders will be requested to describe their ground segment software solution in terms of overall design, architecture and interfaces that enable the integration of protocols, operating procedures, development of user interfaces and compatibility with open standards. Additional information: For every task in Lot 1 a new award notice will be raised notifying the new values.

Operational Lot

Access to this Lot will be achieved through successful development tasks from Lot (1). If an output of a development task results in a "Minimum Viable Product" the Contractor involved in that Task may be added to Lot two (2) as a single entity to enable the Authority to proceed to targeted tasks to purchase items to enter service.
