## Summary

The procurement process titled "Space Hub Scotland Due Diligence", initiated by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, is focused on services within the economic affairs sector. Located in Inverness, this tender is currently in the award stage, having been signed on 20th August 2020. The contract, valued at £350,000, was awarded through an open procedure, with a completion status indicating that the initial three-month term is now in effect. The tender process involved five bids, all submitted electronically, signalling strong interest in this opportunity, which aims to explore space opportunities beneficial to the Highlands and Islands region.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in consultancy services, particularly those with experience in market assessments and project support related to the aerospace sector.
