UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Satellite Applications Catapult Limited commissioned an artificial-intelligence-led transformation programme. The supplier is to design and set up the programme to strengthen the organisation’s capabilities and improve business processes. This is a professional service involving software and consultancy work, delivered in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. The requirement is focused on applying AI to organisational change and practical process improvements, rather than a standalone software purchase.

The procurement is complete and Data Cubed Limited was selected. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition for one lot. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 11 September 2026 to 11 September 2027, with provision for extension to 11 September 2028. The contract value is £55,945 excluding VAT (£67,134 including VAT). Any extension could include implementation services and would require further agreement and a signed contract change note.

For suppliers preparing for similar work with Satellite Applications Catapult, this award indicates demand for AI consultancy that can move from programme design into initial set-up, build organisational capability and identify meaningful business-process improvements. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical experience connecting AI initiatives to organisational needs and process change, as well as the ability to advise on and initialise a transformation programme. The awarded supplier, Data Cubed Limited, is an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business. The potential for implementation support also makes capability beyond strategy and initial design relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
