## Summary

The UK Space Agency has awarded a contract for the ISOM Facility Upgrade, a project aimed at enhancing national IOSM testing capability to support the UK space sector. The tender, classified under IT services, had a value of £1,599,989 and followed a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract period spans from November 27, 2023, to November 30, 2024. The contracting authority, the UK Space Agency, based in Swindon, England, is seeking to drive opportunities within the IOSM market for the space industry.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and those in IT services: consulting, software development, and support, to engage with the UK Space Agency in shaping the in-orbit economy. Businesses well-suited to compete are those capable of providing technology enablers for the space industry, with a focus on supporting the growth of the UK space sector. The procurement stage, having completed the award process, marks a critical point for interested businesses to participate and contribute to the future of the space market.

## Notice

The space economy is changing at a rapid pace as commercialisation of the in-orbit environment leads to new opportunities. The UK is positioning itself to become a global leader in this field and through various interventions, intends to shape this new in-orbit economy that will underpin the future of space. Demand for such space provided services is increasing rapidly for both commercial and scientific applications. De-risking critical technology enablers for the UK space industry allows for faster commercialisation of products and technologies within the UK, avoiding the utilisation of costly overseas testing alternatives. To take on this leading role, UKSA intends to support the development of existing infrastructure into an enhanced national IOSM testing capability that meets the needs of the UK space sector, supports anticipated sector growth and drives UK opportunities within the IOSM market.
