The Unlocking Space Programme plays a pivotal role in supporting the role of the Agency in catalysing investment. The programme aims to support the growth of UK space businesses by stimulating investment and demand for space solutions. Unlocking Space for Investment within the Unlocking Space Programme seeks to address access to finance barriers for growth-stage space businesses. One such barrier is a lack of investor and/or commercial readiness among space companies to secure capital needed to scale. The Growth Pathway is one of the key initiatives looking to address this barrier through provision of training and educational modules to allow industry to become investor-ready, as well as recent consideration around supporting industry's access to specialist advisory and business consulting services. We are conducting a Request for Information exercise to understand the supplier market appetite, capacity, and capability in delivering this initiative, as well as gathering information that helps with development and design of future tenders for the Growth Pathway. ----- The UK Space Agency (UKSA) 2022-25 Corporate Plan outlines how the UK space sector, together with wider Government and international partners, will deliver the National Space Strategy (NSS)[1], NSS In Action[2] and the Space Industrial Plan[3]. UKSA's role is defined by three pillars:​  Catalysing investment, by deploying our funding and resources to multiply the value of non-Government contracts and private capital secured by UK space organisations to maximise the space sector's long-term growth. ​  Delivering missions and capabilities, independently and with others that use space science, technology, and applications to meet national needs and help humanity to understand our universe. ​  Championing space, encouraging other sectors to use space, technology, and applications to deliver better services, tackle the climate emergency, inspire STEM education, and advocate for sustainable space activities.  The Unlocking Space Programme aims to support UK space business growth by stimulating investment and demand for space services, data, and technology by new stakeholder groups, including private sector businesses, Government/Defence, and investors. The programme is delivering four priority projects to meet these aims: Business, Government (Civil and Defence), and Investment. Unlocking Space for Investment (USI) seeks to address the significant investment barriers to investment prevalent in the UK space sector, including limited available growth capital, high perceived risks, and a lack of commercial readiness among space companies. USI aims to improve business readiness, strengthen investor confidence, enhance investor-business connections, and expand financing options, primarily focusing on growth-stage bu... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/unlocking-space-for-investment-growth-pathway-ocds-h6vhtk-05179e) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 79400000, 79900000, 80000000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 23/07/2025 to 31/03/2026 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F022869-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-05-19T15:58:41.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T09:17:03.358Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05179e
