This contract specifically supports the UK's Space Operations by enabling access to the NORSSTrack software developed by Raytheon Systems Ltd. Due to intellectual property rights, Raytheon is the sole supplier. The procurement method is a direct award given the bespoke nature of the software and its critical role in meeting the agency's Space Surveillance and Tracking obligations. The contract spans from 26 January 2026 to 31 March 2027 and is valued at over £140,000 excluding VAT. The contract has provision for optional extension depending on funding availability. This tender represents significant business opportunities in the technology and software industry, particularly for businesses involved with space operations and related services. Large-scale enterprises with experience in developing and maintaining software solutions that meet specific technical and defence requirements would find opportunities for collaboration and subcontracting with Raytheon Systems Ltd advantageous due to their grip on intellectual property. Firms operating in the software development sector, especially those focused on industry-specific packages, can leverage this established contract as a model for innovation and growth. ## Notice NORSSTrack is a critical software service for the National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) which has been developed specifically to meet NSpOC's orbital analysis needs.
