## Summary

The procurement process titled "Spaceflight Monitoring & Evaluation Resource" was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited and falls under the industry category of monitoring and control services. This contract is classified as a selective procurement method and was awarded following a further competition under the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Two. The tender was active until the submission deadline of 17th May 2021, with the contract period running from 8th July 2021 to 13th December 2021. The contract was awarded on 7th July 2021 with a total value of £137,240, aimed at supporting the UK Government's Spaceflight Programme, which seeks to establish the UK as a leading player in commercial spaceflight in Europe.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the consultancy, research, and evaluation sectors, particularly those with expertise in monitoring services related to the space industry. Companies equipped to provide analytical and evaluation frameworks are particularly well-suited to compete in this space, especially as the UK develops its launch capabilities and aims for long-term market growth. The initiative not only aligns with the increasing interest in commercial space activities but also highlights the growing need for support in infrastructure and resource planning in this burgeoning market.

## Notice

***THIS TENDER IS CLOSED*** Award of Contract via the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Two (MCF2) RM6008 Lot 1 via further competition. The final date and time for the submission of bids was 17th May 2021 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the Buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement: The Government's Spaceflight Programme aims to create conditions enabling the UK to be the first country in Europe to achieve commercial spaceflight - generating growth for the UK's economy and establishing the foundations for ongoing market growth and commercial sustainability by 2030. As UK launch capabilities are developed and become operational from the early 2020s, the UKSA must accurately monitor and evaluate the benefits and disbenefits associated with the creation of a UK launch market. Whilst exploratory monitoring and evaluation (M&E) planning has been conducted, the UKSA has limited analytical resource to ensure all impacts are appropriately monitored and evaluated. The UKSA therefore requires external support to assist in the creation of a M&E framework.
