This procurement process is classified under the services category, specifically aimed at innovative applications using space technologies within coastal markets. The tender was published on 22nd May 2019 and is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 28th June 2019. The maximum contract value is £18,000, and the intended contract period will commence on 31st July 2019, concluding on 31st January 2020. Delivery is to take place at Didcot, Oxfordshire, with the overall goal of fostering commercially viable services linked to space applications. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on technology and environmental services, particularly those specialising in satellite communications, navigation, and earth observation. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this competition particularly well-suited to their capabilities, as they can showcase innovative services that leverage space assets. Winning this contract could enable businesses to explore the commercial viability of their innovations, potentially leading to the development of new markets and sustainable services within the UK and beyond. ## Notice The overall objective of the call is to stimulate the submission of new ideas for commercially viable and sustainable services that show innovative utilisation of space services and technologies such as: Satellite Communications, Satellite Navigation, Earth Observation or Human Spaceflight technologies within non-space markets (c.f. ESA Business Applications https://business.esa.int). This can involve either the improvement of existing operational processes and services or the generation of new applications or services. The call specifically seeks proposals that concern services and markets related to coastal applications in the UK and other territories as specified in the separate Technical Scope document. The bidders of ideas with a potential good market perspective will get the opportunity to investigate the commercial viability and the technical feasibility within a small project via a LaunchPad Initiative applications project that utilises at least one space asset, or potentially a combination of assets. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/73d71117-a52d-46ed-9c44-73dd01780d1b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 28 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jul 2019 - 31 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £18,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SATELLITE APPLICATIONS CATAPULT LIMITED | | Locality | DIDCOT | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX11 0QR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Vale of White Horse | | Electoral ward | Hendreds | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34700000 - Aircraft and spacecraft ## Release History - 22 May 2019 at 12:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/73d71117-a52d-46ed-9c44-73dd01780d1b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/73d71117-a52d-46ed-9c44-73dd01780d1b 22nd May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4690359e-f231-46e8-bfbb-5f59729c6f2c Invitation to tender documentation ## Notice URLs - https://business.esa.int ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
