## Summary

OFCOM is seeking a provider for a "C20242231 Small Transportable Satellite Monitoring Solution for Ka and Ku Band" under an open procedure. The procurement, classified under Telecommunications equipment and supplies, focuses on acquiring a mobile satellite monitoring solution to track and monitor LEO satellites above the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £350,000, is at the Tender stage with a submission deadline on 25th March 2025. The project is scheduled to begin on 30th May 2025 and complete by 31st October 2025, with activities centred in London.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications equipment, particularly those with capabilities in satellite tracking technologies. Companies with expertise in providing comprehensive monitoring solutions capable of adhering to OFCOM's stringent requirements, including extensive azimuth tracking and elevation monitoring, will find this tender well-suited to their capacities. Businesses that can deliver innovative and robust satellite solutions are encouraged to participate, potentially enhancing their portfolio and securing a prestigious contract with OFCOM.

## Notice

Due to the ongoing deployment of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) constellations, Ofcom has a requirement for a mobile satellite monitoring solution. This will provide Ofcom with the ability to track and monitor LEO satellites operating above the United Kingdom. We will need the ability to monitor NGSO satellites operating in Ku and Ka bands and as a minimum this must be able to track satellites from 300 elevation through to 300 elevation on the opposite horizon (1200 total tracking as a minimum). The solution will need to be able to be capable of operating around 3600 azimuth, meaning that we can monitor NGSO satellites at any azimuth compared to the antenna system.
