## Summary

The UK Space Agency has awarded a contract for the provision of specialist software licences at the National Space Operations Centre located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Didcot, United Kingdom. As a central government public authority, the agency has completed the contract award phase for the procurement of STK and ODTK software licences, necessary for its orbital analysts. The procurement process utilised a direct, below-threshold method without competition due to the exclusive availability of the software from a UK distributor. The contract, valued at £97,130, commenced on 6th August 2025 and is scheduled to conclude by 31st March 2026.

This tender represents a niche opportunity for businesses specialising in industry-specific software packages for space operations. As the market lacks alternative products that meet the UK Space Agency's specific requirements, businesses with similar licensing capabilities may find rare opportunities for direct engagement with governmental entities. Large-scale companies dealing with specialised software distribution and maintenance services could explore collaborations or develop new solutions aligning with the demanding needs of space operations analytics.

## Notice

The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) orbital analysts require specialist software in order to perform their roles. One specialist software package they need is STK and ODTK. A maintenance and support fee are required to update the software to the latest version and transfer the software to their newly managed machines. The software is only available from distributor in the UK who holds the licence to it. There are no other products currently available on the market that fulfil the highly specialist functions set out above.
