The procurement process, conducted via a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, has been completed, and the contract, which has a value of £458,915, is set to run from 14th August 2024 to 31st March 2025. The contract aims to support the UK space industry through multiple initiatives, including providing educational pathways for both businesses and investors. The procurement stage is currently at the Award stage, and the project will take place across the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies within the space sector that are looking to enhance their capability to attract investments. Businesses specialising in venture capital, consultancy, and training services will find this tender especially relevant. The initiative focuses on delivering practical skills and education, which offers substantial value for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to scale their operations. Large firms with experience in high-profile consulting and training services, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which secured the award, are well-suited to undertake such comprehensive developmental programmes. ## Notice ***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS RM6235 Space-Enabled and Geospatial Services DPS.
