This falls under the goods category with a focus on spacecraft, satellites, and launch vehicles. The objective is to obtain industry views to help the government develop a business case for UK SBAS capabilities in light of Brexit-related changes. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 2025-05-02. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in space-based Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT) solutions to engage with the UK Space Agency. Companies offering services such as electronic timekeeping systems, spacecraft, satellites, spacecraft launchers, and global navigation systems may find this tender of interest. By participating in this early market engagement, businesses can contribute to shaping the development of UK SBAS capabilities, potentially leading to future contract opportunities in the aerospace industry. ## Notice Early market engagement to obtain the views of industry to help inform the government business case development on the options of developing and delivering UK SBAS capabilities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The objective of this early engagement is to obtain the views of the industry to inform government business case development on the options of developing and delivering UK Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) capabilities. The October 2023 Government Policy Framework for Greater Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT) Resilience included a commitment to develop a proposal for a UK Precise Point Positioning Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) to replace the UK's use of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), monitor Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and enable GNSS dependent high accuracy Position for autonomous and precision uses. Since leaving the EU, the UK opted not to continue accessing Europe's regional SBAS, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service. In October 2023, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) announced a new Government Policy Framework for Greater PNT Resilience, to address the UK's future PNT needs which included developing a proposal for a solution to replace the UK's full use of EGNOS services. The UK Space Agency have been leading on exploring a business case and are now in a position to obtain the views of the market on how to further progress the business case. Views of all the market engaged in delivering part or whole space-based PNT solutions are encouraged. The Request For Information (RFI) document attached provides further detail on the context and specifics of this engagement. Any subsequent procurement activity following this early Market Engagement and RFI is at the discretion of the UK Space Agency and subject to approvals. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014291-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | 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 | 3 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 May 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK SPACE AGENCY | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1SZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 31711300 - Electronic timekeeping systems - 34712000 - Spacecraft, satellites and launch vehicles - 34712100 - Spacecraft - 34712200 - Satellites - 34712300 - Spacecraft launchers - 38112100 - Global navigation and positioning systems (GPS or equivalent) - 72311300 - Computer time-sharing services ## Release History - 3 May 2024 at 08:25 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014291-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-space-agency ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
