The procurement method used was selective, with a procurement method detail of call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender had a tender period ending on 20th March 2023 and a contract period starting on 21st March 2023 and ending on 20th March 2024. This opportunity, created by the Crown Commercial Service, is aimed at exploring a collective public sector access model for Earth Observation data, potentially generating efficiencies for the UK public sector. Businesses in the geographic information systems (GIS) sector, especially those providing satellite-derived Earth Observation data and services, could leverage this tender to grow their operations and contribute to fulfilling various use cases across the UK public sector. ## Notice In the recent Geospatial Commission Annual Plan, the Contract Authority set out an intention to explore whether there is a case for a collective public sector access model for Earth Observation data. A critical part of this exploration is an intention to work with partners across the public sector to pilot access to commercial, satellite-derived high resolution Earth Observation data and services to see whether a high number of established and emerging use cases can be fulfilled via a collective specification for Earth Observation data and services and an access model that addresses barriers to uptake and use across the UK public sector. A longer term collective access model has the potential to generate efficiencies on separate, duplicative procurements across the public sector, and this opportunity has been designed to test the degree to which requirements overlap and the technical feasibility of such an approach ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf38a90a-c7d8-4495-b5d8-a2d0db8c7d93 | | 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 | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 20 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | 21 Mar 2023 - 20 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £699,931 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £699,931 | | 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 | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38221000 - Geographic information systems (GIS or equivalent) ## Release History - 16 Jun 2023 at 10:09 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf38a90a-c7d8-4495-b5d8-a2d0db8c7d93 - 5 Jun 2023 at 13:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf38a90a-c7d8-4495-b5d8-a2d0db8c7d93 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf38a90a-c7d8-4495-b5d8-a2d0db8c7d93 16th June 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b5eacd64-3d73-4c5a-9cca-96a8742040ae - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/17925ad4-1230-4c15-91ad-28a9c3d40617 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/67893869-e583-465f-b219-49bfb12360d0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/be456c1b-e0fe-4bbe-bdd3-73a916e5ef1d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a6262101-2e6f-41df-8981-c4a1ae8f7cf2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5eca8346-c7ef-444f-a966-09aed2cccf8a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3d0802ab-8fad-4cf9-aebd-a02d7e4e55ba - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/550beff0-7bd3-4d7a-84d9-87c6c086f6ea ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/crown-commercial-service ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
