## Description
**Please note, the engagement event will now be held virtually, please see the Engagement section below for more information**
The UK Space Agency (UKSA), part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), intends to run a competitive procurement to appoint a capable and experienced delivery partner (or consortium) to design and deliver the next phase of the Growth Pathway – a key initiative within the Unlocking Space for Investment (USI) programme.
The Growth Pathway supports the investment readiness of UK space businesses through subsidised, tailored sell-side advisory services. The Advisory Scheme provides bespoke one-to-one support for growth-stage (Series A+) and high-potential space companies, focused on areas including commercial strategy, financial and capital planning, legal and IP, and investor engagement. The overarching aim is to help UK space scale-ups overcome access-to-finance barriers and attract private investment, supporting HM Government's mission of economic growth.
The successful supplier will be responsible for: delivering robust diagnostics and bespoke advisory services to participating businesses; supporting marketing, communications and pipeline development; designing a transparent and flexible service menu; delivering structured engagement touchpoints between UKSA and industry participants; and contributing to monitoring, evaluation and learning activity.
The Advisory Scheme was first piloted in FY2025/26, supporting six industry participants. This procurement seeks to build on lessons learned and scale delivery to support approximately 30 companies over the contract period. The full Specification of Requirements is available by requesting a copy from uksa.commercial@dsit.gov.uk.
The Government Procurement Agency Management Consultancy Framework 4 (MCF4) RM6309, Lot 2 will be used to procure this contract. Suppliers with relevant experience and knowledge of sell-side advisory and the Space sector that are not currently on this framework are encouraged to explore forming consortia with organisations that are on the framework. Further detail is provided below.
