Geospatial Capabilities Framework · UK public procurement notice
Authority: SATELLITE APPLICATIONS CATAPULT LIMITED (Public body)
What is being bought10 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe purpose of this RFFP is to assist the Catapult in establishing a Capabilities Framework by appointing organisations who can meet ongoing and/or fast turnaround requirements.
It is the Catapult’s intention to utilise this Capabilities Framework to support new and on-going initiatives, likely supporting International Development and Humanitarian response activities.
These may be for government funded projects, other funding bodies’ projects, supporting International Development/Humanitarian organisations/consultancies, and supporting other project’s needs.
Whilst the capabilities required are likely to be varied, the actual requirements will depend on the projects being undertaken and the needs of the ultimate customer. In addition, it should be noted that the work may often demand both short timescales (potentially 48 hours) for the initial responses, and for the actual delivery of the capability.
The capabilities required are likely to include, but not be limited to the following list. These capabilities form the lots that will be used within the Framework. Where appropriate within your responses please highlight the proposed use of manual methods, automated methods, Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI).
- Change detection.
- Object detection.
- Population movements.
- Critical infrastructure analysis.
- Climate.
- Open-Sourced INTelligence (OSINT) analysis.
- Cartography and mapping.
- Development of Web GIS mapping applications.
- Provision of additional surge support resources with Earth Observation (EO), Geospatial Analysis, and/or Geographical Information System (GIS) capabilities and experience.
- Modelling capabilities relevant to the International Development and Humanitarian environment.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
- Suitability
Must have the appropriate licenses and accreditations associated with the lots tendered for.
- Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
- “Geospatial Capabilities Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 25 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
