UK Space Agency : Space for Global Corporates Pilot

The scope of the pilot programme will be limited to matching UK space companies with global corporates operating in Japan, in one industry, to be identified collaboratively by the UK Space Agency and the chosen supplier.

The pilot programme should be completed in FY 2019/2020.

The estimated value of the requirement is £80,000.00 excluding VAT

A more detailed scope will be available following pre market engagement however, the supplier will be responsible for:

• Identifying, in collaboration with the UK Space Agency, the industry to be targeted in Japan.
• Selecting, subject to a review process by the UK Space Agency, the corporates to be included in the programme.
• Working with the corporate to understand the issues they are facing.
• Identifying UK space companies with solutions that could resolve (or could be adapted to resolve) this issue.
• Bringing together the corporate and identified UK space companies in an innovation/problem solving setting to allow the corporate to select UK space companies as potential solution providers to resolve the issue they are facing.
• Working with UK space companies selected by the corporate to adapt their products to best meet the requirements of the corporate, and then to be marketable to additional non-space market(s) facing the same or similar issues.

A key objective of the pre market engagement day is determine the scope of the pilot programme vs the full Space for Global Corporates initiative. Based on the outcome of the pre market engagement the scope of the pilot programme may be adapted to remove some of the above.
