## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is overseeing the ISTARI Industry Day, a critical event aimed at briefing the industry on the UK's Space-Based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (SB-ISR) programme. This public procurement process falls under the "goods" category and specifically involves spacecraft, satellites, and launch vehicles. Originally scheduled for the 5th of September, 2024, in Bristol, UK, this event has now been postponed to allow for further consultation on departmental resources and the Defence Space Portfolio within the Strategic Defence Review. The ISTARI programme aims to deliver resilient, timely, and flexible multi-sensor observations globally, augmenting existing capabilities and collaborating with allied resources. Additional information regarding new dates will be announced via the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP).

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the defence and aerospace sectors, particularly those specialising in satellite and spacecraft technologies. Companies that can provide innovative solutions and have the capability for high-level security clearance (BPSS minimum) will be well-suited to compete for future procurement contracts under the ISTARI programme. The Dynamic Market (DM) approach will be employed to ensure flexible commercial procedures, providing an evolving platform for new technologies up to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9. This initiative aims to foster collaboration across government bodies and the private sector, making it a lucrative venture for companies looking to grow their business within the defence space domain.
