## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology is currently in the planning stage for the procurement titled "UKSAC26_0043 EO Data Hub Service Delivery." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting database systems, software packages, information systems, observation satellites, and data services. The initiative is based in the United Kingdom, with activities centred around London and Swindon. Intended to operate from April 2027 to March 2030, the procurement aims at the delivery and operation of the Earth Observation Data Hub (EODH). Key upcoming dates include a deadline for the Request for Information (RFI) set for 8th June 2026, following a recent market engagement webinar hosted on 20th May 2026. The procurement will likely use the Crown Commercial Service Dynamic Purchasing System for Space-Enabled and Geospatial Services, yet final decisions about the approach are pending.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the data services and satellite sectors to engage in a high-value project valued at £5,000,000 with a gross total of £6,000,000. Suitable for SMEs, the process invites organisations capable of demonstrating significant user reach, technological capability, and a vision for growth. Companies with expertise in Earth Observation and model datasets, commercial and open EO dataset integration, and data-processing workflows could significantly benefit. Moreover, the chosen supplier will be responsible for ensuring smooth service continuation and technical handover, highlighting the need for firms adept at managing transitions and maintaining service quality. Businesses that align with these requirements stand to enhance their market presence and achieve significant growth through this project.

## Notice

UKSA intends to run a competitive procurement to secure a supplier/consortium to lead on the delivery and operation of the Earth Observation Data Hub (EODH) from April 2027 - March 2030. EODH provides a national gateway and platform for Earth Observation (EO) and model datasets. It enables users to access UK and global commercial and research satellite data, processing workflows, and applications for analysing surface temperature and land-use change. Through a single point of access (https://eodatahub.org.uk), the EO Data Hub integrates commercial and open EO datasets, allowing users to search, visualise, analyse, and process data at scale. The EODH is an operational national capability, currently delivered through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO). The current delivery model will continue until March 2027 and will include a technical handover phase with the new delivery supplier throughout January - March 2027. Whilst final decisions on the exact scope are yet to be made our current primary aim of the competition will be to outsource operational delivery of the EODH to both EO and non-EO users subject to relevent internal approvals. The competition would invite suppliers to demonstrate capability, user reach and a vision to grow the activity. An important aspect will be to maximise the re-use of existing intellectual property and minimise any disruption to current users. The expectations will include further development of the established EODH service - broadening the user base, expanding data availability, and improving overall service functionality. The chosen supplier will also be responsible for managing a seamless transition period and uninterrupted service continuity.
