What is being bought
Published requirement description**This Prior Information Notice is NOT a call for competition, it is a publication of information in relation to upcoming competitions. Please note all competitions are subject to internal approvals and budgets and timetables are indicative only at this stage**
UK Space Agency is publishing this notice to indicate its intention to launch three competitions relating to monitoring and evaluation services in Q2 2026. All three competitions will be launched to suppliers who meet the relevant filter criteria on the Research and Insights Dynamic Purchasing System. As all of these tenders are likely to launch in a similar time period, we are providing early notice to the market to assist with resource planning.
UKSAC26_0020 will relate to an evaluation of the UK Space Agency growth/ecosystems portfolio.
UKSAC26_0027 will relate to an evaluation of the National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC), which has already been specified in a previous PIN.
UKSAC26_0030 will relate to an evaluation of European Space Agency activity.
All three tenders are intending to launch between 16th April and 29th of May.
UKSA will be hosting a webinar for interested suppliers on Thursday the 9th of April at 11:00. Please register to attend using the following link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/upcoming-uk-space-… ↗
Please note UKSA will not disclose information about the filters it is using for requirements ahead of tender issue: this is to avoid suppliers artificially changing their filters in order to meet requirements they are not suitable for.

How UK Space Agency buys Business and management consultancy services (CPV 7941), and who usually turns up
UK Space Agency’s own published record, next to the published market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Business and management consultancy services (CPV 7941) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in the delivery region.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 36 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The buyer’s share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

How did awards compare with estimates?

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
