## Summary

Satellite Applications Catapult Limited engaged an event management company to facilitate the In Orbit Space Servicing and Manufacturing (ISAM) conference. The requirement is for event services supporting a conference focused on in-orbit space servicing and manufacturing. The delivery location is recorded in the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified in the procurement details. This is a single-lot services requirement for a specialist conference rather than a general event-management programme. The buyer is Satellite Applications Catapult Limited, a public undertaking based at Harwell Science & Innovation Campus. The conference itself is due to take place in February 2027, forming the purpose and setting for the event management work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. SPACE-COMM LTD was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026 and runs from 24 June 2026 to 23 February 2027. Its value is £89,000 excluding VAT (£106,800 including VAT). The contract is active. The buying organisation used a limited competition; no further evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details. The award relates to event services for the In Orbit Space Servicing and Manufacturing conference, planned for February 2027. The contract period therefore covers the preparation and delivery of the conference requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Satellite Applications Catapult Limited for specialist event management to support a conference in the space sector. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show it can plan and deliver a focused industry conference, coordinate the practical arrangements needed to facilitate it, and work effectively with a specialist public-sector buyer. The selected supplier, SPACE-COMM LTD, is recorded as an SME, showing that this single-lot event services contract was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large event-management organisation. Experience with technical or industry conferences and the capacity to manage delivery from preparation through the event would be commercially relevant when this buyer next needs comparable support.
