## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has awarded a contract for the project titled "PS22422 - Market Dynamics of the Space Sector". The procurement falls under the services category and was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period is from January 16, 2023, to March 31, 2023, with a tender period ending on January 4, 2023. The contracting organisation is located in Swindon, England, with delivery addresses covering multiple regions including the United Kingdom and Europe.

This contract provides an opportunity for businesses, especially those involved in research and development services and related consultancy services, to engage with the space sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited for this tender as indicated by the procurement's suitability criteria. With a focus on understanding the dynamics of the space sector, businesses that can offer innovative solutions and expertise in the space industry stand to benefit from this contract award, aimed at bridging knowledge gaps and enhancing government interventions effectively.

## Notice

This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the RM6126 CCS Research & Insights DPS. This project addresses a key evidence gap in our understanding of the space sector, a gap that limits our ability to target government intervention effectively. Our understanding of the space sector is fundamentally a static one. Through the Size and Health of the Space Sector reports we have annual snapshots of the sector - what we lack is a dynamic understanding of how and why the sector has changed between Size and Health reports. Crucially, we do not know enough about why and how space sector SMEs survive and thrive.
