## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology bought sponsorship for the Payload Investor Summit, a service associated with organising or supporting an event. The sponsorship was for the UK Space Agency. The award identifies event services as the category of work, but gives no further detail about what the sponsorship package included or where the summit took place.

This procurement has been awarded. The Department used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Arkaea Media Group Inc was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and ran from 10 September to 21 October 2026. Its value was USD 20,000. The procurement comprised one lot, which is complete, and the award is active. No evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which the supplier was selected cannot be described.

For suppliers considering comparable event sponsorship work for the Department, this award demonstrates demand for sponsorship linked to a UK Space Agency investor summit. A credible competitor would need to show that it can provide sponsorship services relevant to a specialist space-investment audience and support the event’s purpose. The selected supplier, Arkaea Media Group Inc, is identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller business was selected for this requirement. The procurement was awarded directly without competition, so this example does not establish a competitive evaluation standard or specific qualification requirements. The scope is limited to summit sponsorship; event organisers and media or sponsorship businesses whose services fit that purpose are the most relevant peers.
