Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project "UKRI-5500 EO Data Hub Phase 2 Development" was initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. The contract aimed to further develop the EO Data Hub and was categorised under the software and information systems industry. The procurement method used was direct, below threshold without competition, and the contract was initially awarded to Sparkgeo, a supplier based in British Columbia, Canada. The procurement stage progressed through tendering and award phases, culminating in a contract termination notice published on 15th July 2026, following the contract term's technical completion on 31st March 2026. The gross value of the contract was £138,000. Key dates included the contract award on 11th December 2025 and its commencement on 12th December 2025.

This tender offered significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large suppliers specialising in software package and information systems. Businesses with capabilities to deliver complex software solutions, such as EO data handling and integration, would have been well-positioned to compete for this contract. The procurement process, characterised by direct awarding under a below-threshold value, provided a streamlined opportunity for adept software firms to engage in developments critical to the UKRI's research and innovation objectives. Such contracts not only enhance a company’s portfolio but also enable strategic partnerships and further entry into public sector projects that align with technological advancement and research infrastructure support.
