## Summary

The procurement process involves BIP Solutions Limited, which is seeking tenders for the provision of an Earth Observation data management system. This opportunity falls under the Electronic data management (EDM) category, aimed at suppliers capable of delivering data solutions from a long-term archive, particularly from satellite data sources like the European Space Agency and NASA. The procurement method is open, under an open procedure classified below the threshold. The tender period is set to conclude on 25 April 2022, with the contract period commencing on 9 May 2022 and running until 9 November 2022. The service is required at locations across the South East region of the UK, and the total contract value is estimated at £100,000, with a minimum value of £50,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in data management services and software solutions, particularly those experienced in handling extensive datasets and satellite data applications. Companies that can demonstrate their capability to manage large volumes of data effectively and that possess technical expertise in Earth observation technologies will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this tender could foster valuable partnerships within the public sector, helping businesses expand their portfolio and enhance their market presence in the growing field of data solutions.

## Notice

Ordnance Survey are seeking tenders for the provision of an existing data management solution (e.g. a data cube) that can provide OS access to a long-term (~20 years) time series of national scale (e.g. Great Britain) Earth Observation data from the date of commencement. In particular, OS are currently interested in architecture capable of providing access to an archive of freely available satellite data including data from the European Space Agency platforms (e.g. Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2) and NASA platforms (e.g. MODIS and Landsat), derived indices and data from 3rd party sources. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
