What the notice says

The UK Space Agency intends to procure technical services for the development of three technology roadmaps covering Cyber Resilience and Security Technologies for Space; In-Orbit Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM); and Advanced Materials for Space. The roadmaps will provide evidence-based assessments of current UK capabilities, future technology needs, opportunities and gaps, and identify priorities and pathways for future investment, development, demonstration and commercialisation. The requirement will be procured through the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) RM6235 Space-Enabled and Geospatial Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) via a further competition. The opportunity will be issued to suppliers who are registered on the DPS and meet the relevant filters applicable to the requirement at the point the tender is released. The three roadmaps will be procured together as a single requirement, with the successful supplier responsible for undertaking the necessary research, analysis and stakeholder engagement and producing the required roadmap outputs to support UK Space Agency and wider government strategic decision-making.
