Summary of the contracting process

DFT Operator Limited procured programme management and portfolio support to help deliver low-Earth-orbit satellite technology. The work is project-management services, rather than construction, and is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Systra Limited through a direct award under the Department for Transport STARThree THRE02 framework, without a prior competition. One bid was recorded, and price was the stated award criterion. The contract is active and valued at £78,631.50. It was signed on 12 October 2026. The award record does not give a separate award date or contract period.

For suppliers considering similar work for DFT Operator Limited, this award shows demand for programme management and portfolio support connected to low-Earth-orbit satellite technology. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant project-management capability and the capacity to support delivery of this technology programme. The buyer used a direct award through a Department for Transport framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would also need to be positioned to supply through an appropriate framework route.
