## About this tender

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) intends to procure commercial satellite-derived Earth Observation (EO) data and associated Earth Observation services for use across the UK public sector. The procurement will support improved access to commercial EO capabilities, reduce duplicated procurement activity, enable greater sharing and reuse of data across government, and support evidence-based decision making across a range of public sector activities. The procurement has been designed following extensive engagement with public sector users and suppliers and reflects the Authority’s objective of establishing a more coordinated approach to the acquisition and use of commercial EO data and services.

The procurement will comprise two Lots:

- Lot 1 Core Commercial Earth Observation Data

A contract for the supply and licensing of core commercial optical satellite-derived Earth Observation data for use across the UK public sector. The successful supplier will provide data, associated rights, metadata, quality assurance information and supporting services required to support delivery through an access model.

- Lot 2 Specialist Earth Observation Services

A single-supplier call-off contract for specialist Earth Observation data products, monitoring services and analytical capabilities. Anticipated demand does not constitute guaranteed expenditure or supplier revenue.

The procurement will be conducted using a Competitive Flexible Procedure through the Government Commercial Agency Space Technology Solutions Dynamic Market (RM6370). The Authority intends to award one contract under each Lot. Contracts are expected to be awarded for an initial period of three years with an option to extend for up to one additional year.

The procurement is expected to support public sector use cases including environmental monitoring, infrastructure management, climate resilience, emergency response, agricultural monitoring, rural payments, land management and wider policy development. It has been structured to support both established suppliers and specialist providers, including SMEs, consortia and supply chain arrangements where appropriate.

The information in this notice remains subject to final decision-making and suppliers should refer to the Tender documentation once published for final details.

### Dynamic Market Participation

Participation in the procurement will be limited to suppliers admitted to the CCS Space Technology Solutions Dynamic Market (RM6370). Suppliers who are not currently members of the Dynamic Market are encouraged to apply for admission as soon as possible. As the Dynamic Market remains open throughout its lifetime, suppliers may seek admission at any stage prior to the procurement closing date. The Authority wishes to maximise competition and encourages all capable suppliers to register.
