When this comes round again

UK Space Agency publishes Business Services work continuously — 6 notices, roughly one every 46 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

13% of UK Space Agency’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) is led by the UK Space Agency (UKSA) and UK Space Command in partnership with the Met Office.

NSpOC combines and coordinates civil and military space domain awareness capabilities to enable UK space operations and protect our interests in space and on Earth from space related threats, risks, and hazards.

The space domain represents a rapidly evolving and strategically significant operational environment, characterised by continuous advancements in global capabilities, technologies, policy frameworks, and mission priorities.

In alignment with the UK Government's broader objectives for national security, resilience, and innovation in space, the National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) has been operating under its current model for the past year.

NSpOC requires an independent monitoring and evaluation contractor to scrutinise its performance against benefits and objectives set out in its approved business case, which covers the period to 31st March 2030.

UKSA is offering this contract on a 2+2 basis until 31st March 2028 with an option to extend to 31st March 2030 to ensure continuity of provision. **UKSA intends to launch this tender for competition in April 2026 and will be issuing via the Research and Insights Dynamic Purchasing System: it will only be open to bidders who are registered on the DPS and who meet the relevant filter criteria**
