## Summary

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence, which has issued a tender titled "Provision Of External Support to the MOD Space Directorate." This initiative falls within the technical support services category and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was a single tender action, and the contract was awarded on 13th November 2020, with an active contract period running from 16th November 2020 to 15th November 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical support services, particularly those with experience in the aerospace and defence sectors.

The involvement of a prominent buyer like the Ministry of Defence further enhances the potential for substantial business growth for suppliers in this field.

## Notice

Defence does not possess the necessary Knowledge, Skills and Experience (KSE) to support the development and successful delivery of its growing Space enterprise. To mitigate this shortfall, it is necessary to obtain additional support from a 'Customer Friend' construct via a Specialist Space Support Agency (SSSA).
