The procurement process is classified as an e-Tendering exercise with an estimated value of up to £5 million. The contract period is expected to conclude on 31st July 2023, and interested parties are required to register their interest for updates and further details regarding the tender process at www.contracts.mod.uk. This project entails developing a ground-based open architecture command and control system for the UK MOD’s satellite operations and will be conducted through a framework spanning approximately one year. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in defence technologies, software development, and aerospace systems. Companies with expertise in agile prototyping, satellite operations, or related R&D services are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement exercise. Participation will involve successfully navigating a three-stage selection process, with the initial pre-qualification questionnaire designed to shortlist suppliers, followed by demonstrations to ultimately select partners for prototyping development. Engaging in such projects can lead to potential long-term contracts and collaborations within the defence sector. ## Notice BEROE is a ground segment software solution enabling flight operators to conduct satellite tasking, monitoring and control of UK MoD space assets. A one-year project seeking to investigate, develop and demonstrate a ground based open architecture command & control (C2) system for the Pg ISTARI UK MOD ISR satellite constellation. Focussed on maturing, deriving and identifying UK MoD requirements, testing hypotheses, addressing key challenges and stimulating industry to develop product roadmaps to support future operational systems targeted for non-civilian use. SSUN: The UK MoD requires a mission control system to enable Space Command to Control, Monitor and Task On-Orbit Low Earth Orbit satellite(s), Remote Ground Terminals and supporting Operational Readiness Activities (including Simulation Environments), with appropriate scalability, and protection, to enable and sustain flight operations within the Space Command Satellite Operations Centre (SOC). It is proposed that the BEROE requirement will be delivered using the Rapid Agile Prototyping, Scaled for Operations (RAPSO) Commercial framework model. The proposed framework will be of approximately 1 year duration and valued up to a maximum of PS5M, subject to necessary approvals. Operational Capability is not within scope of this framework. Framework participation will be subject to successfully completing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and Invitation to Tender (ITT) process. There are three stages under the framework which will be - Stage 1: PQQ and datasheet responses to down select to 10-15 suppliers to take forwards to Stage 2. Stage 2: Demonstrate and down selection to final 2 companies. ITT "light" and tender responses evaluated. Stage 3: Funded development sprint to provide prototype. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017415-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34712000 - Spacecraft, satellites and launch vehicles ## Release History - 24 Jun 2022 at 18:50 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017415-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://des.mod.uk/ - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/environment-agency - https://www.gov.uk/tax-help - https://www.hse.gov.uk/involvement/prepare/law/empprotection.htm#:~:text=All%20your%20workers%20are%20protected - https://www.hse.gov.uk/involvement/prepare/law/empprotection.htm#:~:text=All%20your%20workers%20are%20protected,of%20their%20length%20of%20service. - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/all?title=tax - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/43/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
