The procurement method was selective, calling off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period ended on February 6, 2023, with a contract period running from March 29, 2023, to March 31, 2025. QinetiQ Limited was the supplier, and the contract value was GBP 1,630,979. This opportunity to provide technical expertise support in the space industry is suitable for businesses with experience in research and development services related to consultancy.

Small and medium enterprises with relevant expertise in space standards and regulations could find this contract beneficial for their growth and expansion. ## 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 Framework Brief Description of Requirement Space standards sit alongside UK Space Agency and other Government Departments' regulatory functions such as space operations, spectrum, and space launch, as the critical context within which UK industry maintains and grows its global competitiveness. The UK Space Agency seeks to ensure that the working level technical activities of the various standards bodies above are supported. This will be in a co-ordination and sometimes advisory function, but one at a very technical level that demands key competences UK Space Agency does not have - technical knowledge, organisational or individual qualifications, in space engineering, operations, and applications themselves. The UK Space Agency needs to ensure providers of this technical support are suitably objective and independent from financial involvement in the markets covered by the relevant standards - a requirement in many cases mandated by the standards agreements themselves. The UK Space Agency will also need to ensure the management and engagement, through this call, for all secondary UK experts in the additional permanent and temporary working groups that develop, maintain, and advise on the policing of new and existing standards themselves. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1a14617-9574-4508-a6f6-8d8d33310724 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | 6 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | 28 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,630,979 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS, ENERGY & INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | QINETIQ | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 4 Apr 2023 at 11:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1a14617-9574-4508-a6f6-8d8d33310724 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1a14617-9574-4508-a6f6-8d8d33310724 4th April 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9cf8bd81-1f90-42fb-9c89-ecba18ac2bf0 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
