The International Charter: Space and Major Disasters (“the Charter”) is a global agreement which aims to provide a unified system of space data acquisition and delivery to those affected by natural or man-made disasters. It provides and enables transmission of earth observation satellite data and pre-authorised resilience/emergency response bodies in response to “activations”. Further details on the Charter can be found at https://disasterscharter.org/ Unlike many space faring nations in the Charter, the UK Government does not own or operate its own national EO satellite system assets. The UK Government therefore fulfils its Charter commitments through partnership with the UK EO commercial sector. This procurement seeks to maintain and strengthen that model by securing operational support from an organisation with UK licensed and operated EO satellite data assets that can be contributed to Charter activations. The continued participation of UK EO commercial satellite operators in the Charter delivers both public benefit and strategic value by showcasing sovereign EO capabilities, supporting international disaster response and demonstrating operational utility of UK-developed EO missions.

The purpose of the research is to understand the practical factors that contribute to successful delivery when ICT services are provided across more than one organisation and to identify the arrangements that should be established from the outset to support effective operations, accountability, decision-making and service performance. Rather than focusing solely on formal shared service models, the research should consider a range of collaborative ICT delivery arrangements, including lead authority models, partnership arrangements, jointly managed services and other approaches where responsibility for ICT delivery is shared across multiple councils.

**This planned procurement follows earlier market engagement undertaken by UK Space Agency (UKSA) through the Request for Information (RFI) published under Find a Tender Notice 2026/S 000-035409. Overall responses to the RFI demonstrated market interest and a range of potential approaches, while also identifying areas where further technical, commercial, cost and delivery evidence is required before UKSA could consider progressing to a full demonstration mission. UKSA has therefore decided to adopt a staged approach, commissioning multiple R&D projects across RPOD and IOM to explore differing approaches, reduce uncertainty and strengthen the evidence base for future investment decisions. This is one of two concurrent procurements being progressed following consideration of the outputs from that RFI exercise, the other being for Mission Feasibility Studies – Spacecraft Life Extension Service Demonstration. Please see respective notices on Find a Tender.** Procurement Description: The UK Space Agency (UKSA) intends, subject to final approvals, to launch a competitive procurement that will support research and development (R&D) projects to mature In-Orbit Manufacturing (IOM) payload concepts for high-value Earth applications, generating evidence to support consideration of potential future in-orbit demonstration activities. The work is intended to mature the technical, delivery considerations, risks, indicative cost and commercial evidential base required to inform the UKSA’s ISAM In-Orbit Demonstration Programme, and the development of a Green Book-compliant business case. The requirement concerns applied research directed at developing technical knowledge for the particular objective of informing decisions on potential future UK IOM demonstration activities, rather than commercial industrialisation. The competition is intended to support payload maturation and R&D activity only. Appointment under this competition does not commit UKSA to proceed with, fund or procure a subsequent IOM demonstration mission or further payload maturation activities. Any future phases or follow-on activity would be subject to separate consideration, funding approval and, where appropriate, further competition. It is UKSA's intention, subject to final approvals, to launch the competition on or around 23 October 2026. Suppliers are expected to have approximately four weeks from the date the competition is formally launched to submit proposals. Projects are currently anticipated to commence in January 2027 and have a duration of up to 6 months. This planned procurement notice is intended to provide early visibility of the opportunity and UKSA reserves the right to vary the scope, timetable, funding and other terms described in this notice prior to the formal launch of the competition. Estimated Contract Value and Funding Position: The procurement will seek to appoint multiple suppliers to undertake separate IOM payload maturation projects. The estimated total funding available across the projects is £1,400,000 excluding VAT. UKSA currently anticipates awarding a minimum of two contracts, with individual contract values determined through competition and any submission capped at £700,000 excluding VAT per contract. The number of contracts awarded and individual contract values will be managed to remain within these budget constraints. These figures are indicative only at this stage and remain subject to: · Internal due diligence; · Confirmation of final scope; · Availability of programme funding; · Required UK Government approvals. This funding is provided solely by the UKSA and applicants should note this competition is wholly run and administered by the UKSA. This notice relates to the intended procurement of contracts which are exempted contracts under section 3(6) and Schedule 2, Part 2 (Subject-matter exempted contracts), paragraph 22 (Research and Development Services) of the Procurement Act 2023 (the 'Act'). Exempted contracts are not public contracts as defined in section 3 of the Act and therefore are not required to be procured in accordance with the provisions of the Act that relate to a covered procurement. UKSA intends to use Innovate UK Contracts for Innovation to deliver the funding competition. Indicative competition details · Total funding available: £1,400,000 exclusive of VAT · Maximum value per contract: £700,000 exclusive of VAT · Anticipated minimum number of contracts: 2 · Delivery model: preference is for each project to be led by a single lead organisation.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) intends to create a pathway to link problems identified by large organisations with solutions provided by innovative cyber small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) known as the Cyber Accelerator Programme. The Authority requires a supplier to deliver the Cyber Accelerator Programme: Design Partnerships 2027-28. The main objective of the programme is to create a credible pathway from agreed challenges facing the public sector to commercial adoption of cyber innovation by public sector buyers. This will improve the delivery of procurement in the British cyber ecosystem, linking the problems identified by large organisations with the solutions provided by SMEs. The programme will do this through design partnerships, being structured collaborations between public-sector organisations with identified challenges and innovative cyber SMEs capable of developing and testing solutions to those challenges. The programme is designed as a single pathway from challenge identification through to potential commercial adoption. The Supplier(s) will recruit and support Challengers and Programme Innovators, facilitate design partnerships, provide programme governance and compliance support, deliver route-to-adoption activity, organise programme events, produce programme reports and outputs, and create a pattern library of repeatable approaches to support future adoption of cyber innovation by large organisations. The desired outcome is to improve UK cyber resilience and economic growth by helping innovative cyber SMEs address real public-sector challenges while enabling public-sector buyers to engage more confidently with innovative solutions through fair, transparent and Procurement Act 2023-compliant processes.
