What is being bought

The Satellite Applications Catapult is seeking a suitable provider to develop an automated orbital lighting system for is IOSM Facility. The system will be installed in the facilities dark room measuring 27m x 7m x 8m and contains robot systems to mimic spacecraft flight. It is expected to replicate orbital lighting conditions that accurately represent the lighting environment spacecraft will experience. As such, the system is expected to move light sources to replicate the effect of light emitting bodies (eg the sun) on spacecraft. Due to existing equipment mounted in the facility it is expected that the lighting system will be mounted to the walls or above (ceiling mounting is not possible). Movement of light sources is expected to be automated and programmable, ideally in coordination with the existing KUKA robots via ROS nodes. Light sources are to be included suitable to mimic sunlight encountered in orbit (approx. 6900 Kelvin). Light sources to be low weight & energy efficient.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Artificial and natural lighting engineering services for buildings (71318100); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
