## Notice

OS sees potential opportunity to develop new products and services in developing market areas (e.g. environmental monitoring, energy, agriculture, biodiversity, sustainable finance), that can be enabled through the technologies of satellite-based earth observation, AI, as well as more traditional geospatial-based capabilities. OS want to understand in detail the market size and opportunity for OS, both in GB as well as internationally. We are looking for an organisation or consultant (who must be willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement) to provide us with these customer and market insights into how EO, AI and geospatial data could help inform future OS products and services. This study is not just about defining the macro trends, but identifying with potential customers their needs, the value opportunity, and willingness to pay. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
