The Home Office Data Services and Analytics (DSA) which sits within the Buyer's Home Office Digital (HOD) division, has a requirement for the procurement of specialist client-side cyber security support capabilities detailed within the Statement of Requirements document and the Book of Work. The Buyer Cyber Security capability is currently provided under a service-based offering from a third-party supplier. The supplier delivers a range of services and provides assurance to the Buyer's Independent Assurer that IT systems are compliant with National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) standards Cyber security advice for public sector organisations | National Cyber Security Centre - NCSC.GOV.UK The Buyer is establishing a more capable cyber function which is still defining its Target Operating Model. It is envisaged that there will be a range of shared capabilities and processes that the Buyer's service will need to align with or onboard to.

Government Digital Service, part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), is working to enhance and co-ordinate public sector access to satellite-derived Earth Observation (EO) data across the UK. This also includes promoting the use of artificial intelligence to generate deeper insights and build capability. The aim is to reduce duplication, improve efficiency, and support the delivery of key government priorities such as climate resilience, national security, and digital transformation. Subject to internal budget approvals, we have identified an opportunity to procure selected commercial EO data and services for use across the UK public sector. This would help to address limitations in the spatial and temporal resolution, as well as the spectral coverage, of existing open sources. By strengthening the geospatial and EO data available to public bodies, it would support more informed decision-making and better outcomes for citizens. Please note that we are working closely with DSIT UK Space Agency on their ‘Earth Observation Data Hub’ initiative and will align our approaches where feasible to maximise impact across both programmes. How we intend to engage Following on from the first pre-market engagement session, we are holding this second session to cover our more detailed technical requirements and approach. The session will be followed by a written questionnaire for respondents to share thoughts in greater detail and confidentiality. The second session (referred to as Public Sector EO preliminary market engagement 2 or ‘PME2’), will include a presentation covering the high-level data and service requirements based on needs of the public sector and current understanding of market capabilities. It will invite feedback on our refined technical requirements procurement structure / delivery model and commercial elements. PME2 will include opportunities to raise questions and comments, and attendees will be encouraged to provide further feedback in a follow-up questionnaire shared afterwards. Feedback will help to finalise the technical specification for the contract and request approximate costings from interested suppliers, as well as cover the likely procurement route. The second questionnaire will be live until Monday 1st June following the PME2 webinar. Date of commencement The Preliminary Market Engagement Webinar will take place via MS Teams at 2:0 PM on Tuesday 26th May. If you are unable to attend the webinar, we will share the content of the meeting, on request after the session. Tuesday 19th May 5:0 PM GMT cut off for providing notice of interest in attendance. Aims and objectives of the PME The primary objective of pre-market engagement is to gather market insight to shape how best to deliver the requirement. This will help the Contracting Authority to: a) improve and update understanding of market capability, helping to ensure any contract delivers better outcomes from the technology; b) encourage competition, driving value for money and creating opportunity for a broad range of suppliers; c) support a fair and compliant procurement The aims of the two rounds of preliminary market engagement will differ slightly, with different content focuses in each: Pre-market 1 (Early Autumn 2025) – Engage the market on the programme’s potential high-level areas of interest (data products and services), agreement structures, procurement routes, and licensing approaches. Pre-market 2 (May 2026) – Engage the market on the detailed specification, refined following insights from pre-market 1. How can suppliers express interest? As indicated above, we intend to invite interested suppliers who expressed interest in attending the first pre-market engagement session to attend this second webinar to be hosted by the Government Digital Service on Tuesday 26th May 2:0 PM. If you did not attend the first pre-market engagement session and are interested in attending this second session and providing related feedback, parties should email Geospatial.EO@dsit.gov.uk, ensuring to include attending individuals’ names, roles, and organisation. Suppliers are permitted to nominate up to three individuals from each organisation. GDS does not guarantee that a procurement will be launched and is not responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by any potential supplier in registering their interest.

The Contracting Authority requires a multiplexed molecular analysis system capable of performing direct, amplification-free, digital quantification of gene expression (mRNA and miRNA) and protein targets from limited and potentially degraded clinical samples. The system will be used primarily for patient-derived specimens, including FFPE and other clinically archived materials, where RNA quantity and integrity may be limited. The solution must therefore demonstrate high sensitivity, reproducibility, and robustness to sample degradation. The required system must provide a complete sample-to-data workflow, enabling end-to-end processing, automated or semi-automated operation, and integrated data analysis suitable for use by scientific staff without advanced bioinformatics expertise. To access this opportunity, you must first register as a “Supplier” on the Authority’s e-tendering portal here: https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome
