Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "SISAC OBC 2/4," facilitated by the organisation NCCC Operations Ltd T/A NCC - Innovating for Industry, has reached the award stage, with a contract successfully awarded. Situated in Bristol, UK, this procurement was focused on research and development consultancy services, specifically for the supply of a Space Information Sharing and Analysis Centre Outline Business Case Work Package(s) 2 and 4. Utilising a limited procurement method, the award was given without prior publication due to the project falling outside the scope of standard directives. The contract, valued at £31,500, was signed on 1st May 2026, demonstrating the organisation's commitment to advancing research and development initiatives in this region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services related to research and development, particularly in the space sector. Given the specificity and technical nature of the project, companies with expertise in space information systems and consultancy are particularly well-suited. Additionally, smaller entities, such as SMEs, can benefit from opportunities like this, as evidenced by the awarding of the contract to AIION Ltd, an SME based in Cardiff. This highlights the potential for business growth within niche markets and contributes to the development of specialised industry sectors in the UK.
