## Summary

The Mining Remediation Authority bought operational InSAR satellite information supplied through an API. The requirement supports the Authority’s statutory responsibility for public safety by providing data that can identify or monitor ground movement associated with historic mining. This is a technology and information service combining satellite-derived information with geographic information systems and software or information systems. The service is intended for use across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Mining Remediation Authority, a central government public authority based in Nottinghamshire. Suppliers with relevant satellite-monitoring data, API delivery and geospatial information capability would be aligned with the requirement, particularly where their systems can support operational monitoring and the interpretation or use of location-based data.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. SATSENSE LIMITED was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2027. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The buyer may renew it for an additional 12 months, with the maximum contract extent running to 14 September 2028; the stated reason is the possible need for further data relating to unforeseen ground movement attributed to historic mining. The requirement was evaluated through a limited competition, and the awarded scope covers geographic information systems or equivalent and software and information systems supporting InSAR provision.

This award confirms demand from the Mining Remediation Authority for a specialist InSAR capability delivered as an operational API rather than as a one-off report. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to satellite-derived ground-movement information, robust API design and integration, and the ability to provide usable data across the United Kingdom. Experience with geographic information systems, geospatial data handling and software or information systems would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to support a public-safety use case involving historic mining and potentially uncertain ground movement events. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large prime contractor.

## Notice

The Mining Remediation Authority requires a supplier who can provide InSAR satellite information via an API for 12 months in support of our statutory obligations to protect public safety.
