Highlands and Islands Enterprise
Sectoral and Technical Advisory Resource for Space (STARS)
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE AND AS SUCH THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS IS COMPLETE.
HIE are seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced external independent sectoral, technical and strategic advisory support to contribute to the implementation of the HIE Space Programme.
The role of the advisory support is important to HIE’s governance around the HIE Space Programme, as it will provide continuity of advice and support to HIE as the Space Programme evolves.
It is recognised that the pool of potential companies may be limited, not least by the need to ensure they do not have conflicts of interest which would impinge on their ability to independently advise HIE.
For example, companies providing support to HIE should not have a commercial relationship with any proposed launch sites or operators.
These services will be required between 23 May 2023 and 22 May 2025 for a period of 2 years, with HIE having the option to extend twice for a period not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term (2+1+1 years i.e. maximum total extension period of 2 years, until 22 May 2026 or 2027).
It is a duration contract and payments will be made in arrears, based on the services carried out.
Therefore, the total amount paid under this contract might be less than the maximum budget (maximum budget is not guaranteed to be used up).
Please refer to the Scope of Requirements and Tender Guidance document for full details.
