## Summary

The UK Space Agency has completed a procurement process awarding a contract to Raytheon Systems Limited for the provision of NSpOC Orbital Analyst Laptop Support. This initiative focuses on the continuation of specialist laptop hardware and associated IT support to ensure uninterrupted access to secure systems crucial for space domain awareness operations. Located at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, the UK Space Agency, defined as a public authority within central government, used a direct procurement method without competition. The contract, bearing the title "NSpOC Orbital Analyst Laptop Support," started on 17th February 2026, extending until 31st March 2026, with a total value of £20,068.23 excluding VAT.

This tender represents significant business growth prospects, particularly for technology and software companies offering specialised IT solutions. Raytheon Systems Limited, noted for its large-scale operations, was selected to ensure continuation without disruption as an interim supplier until a long-term solution is mobilised. Companies operating within the IT and space sectors, capable of meeting stringent security and accreditation requirements, may find valuable opportunities to engage in similar procurement processes with government agencies seeking advanced technical support and system integrations. With the procurement heavily focused on continuity and security, businesses providing secure configurations and operational capability enhancements can position themselves favourably for future contracts.

## Notice

This direct award provides for the continuation of specialist laptop hardware provision and associated IT support for NSpOC Orbital Analysts. The service is essential to maintaining uninterrupted access to secure, accredited systems required for critical space domain awareness operations, where continuity of service is paramount. A separate supplier has already been appointed following a competitive process to deliver the long-term solution; however, mobilisation of that service has been delayed. This interim requirement can therefore only be met by the incumbent supplier, who maintains the existing secure configurations, accreditations, and system integrations. Procuring via an alternative route would introduce unacceptable operational, security, and continuity risks and could result in disruption to a critical operational capability.
