What to check for this supplier

• For “Inter-Agency Debris Co-ordination Committee (IADC) Research Studies - 2026/27”, establish which deliverables Department for Science, Innovation & Technology described and verify the award status and scope.
• Check whether the named supplier received a direct contract or a framework position; appointment alone does not establish guaranteed revenue.
• Compare the published requirements with your own capability profile before pursuing a similar opportunity.

Notice scope excerpt

The Office of the Chief Engineer within the UK Space Agency (UKSA) is intending to identify delivery partners to support a set of studies that will support ongoing research being performed as part of its role in the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC). The IADC has 13 member states that conduct technical research to inform their publications on how to measure, model, protect from and mitigate space debris. The primary purpose is to exchange information on space debris research activities between members, to facilitate opportunities for cooperation in space debris research, to review the progress of ongoing cooperative activities and to identify debris mitigation options. The UK has been a member for nearly 30 years and has been helping to guide the international policy over this time. The IADC consists of a steering group and four working groups - Measurements, Environment and Database, Protection and Mitigation. The studies that have been identified will seek to support on-going research being performed in each of these working groups. UKSA is seeking suppliers to perform technical studies of relevance to three of the four IADC working groups. We will require the supplier to fulfil the specification, including defining framework/model where needed and putting theoretical metrics into practice. We are splitting this competition into multiple lots linked to three of the four IADC working groups. Prospective bidders should note this requirement is not seeking any studies this year in support of IADC Working Group 1. Bidders may bid for and be awarded one or more studies within each lot. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not necessary to bid for multiple studies to be eligible to participate. UKSA reserves the right to award multiple contracts in the event of budget availability and sufficient high-quality proposals. Equally, UKSA reserves the right to not award individual lots where insufficient high quality proposals are received.

The excerpt describes the procurement as a whole. It does not establish this supplier’s individual deliverables or lot allocation. This excerpt may be truncated. Source wording about applications or deadlines is historical and must not be read as an invitation to bid now.

Contracts explicitly linked to this award

These contract records reference award 2 in the same retained release. They are shown separately from the award fields. Values are not annual revenue and may cover several suppliers; no total or per-supplier allocation is inferred.

Procurement route and comparison checks

The retained procedure is “Open procedure”. To compare a future bid with this award, locate the original notice and evaluation documents from Department for Science, Innovation & Technology; the award alone does not establish the route for a future purchase.

• Buyer match: confirm that requirements from Department for Science, Innovation & Technology are comparable to the buyer, location and service scale you intend to target.
• Delivery scope: use the excerpt above to identify deliverables, exclusions and technical constraints. Verify each against the complete documents before claiming a capability match.
• Timing: check the award-specific period above against later contract notices. A missing date is unknown; it is not a renewal signal.

This profile is an independent research aid from Team J8VEST. It is not an endorsement by, or an affiliation with, the named supplier or buyer. The sample is not the supplier’s complete contract portfolio.

Questions for a bid or market team

• Which published requirements and lots led to University of Strathclyde being named?
• What evidence would a supplier need for comparable professional-services procurement?
• Do later notices change the term, value, scope or status of these awards?

Answer these questions from the complete procurement pack and later notices. Store the source URL, publication date and exact field behind every conclusion. A supplier name in an award does not prove present capacity, customer satisfaction, future demand or revenue attributable to that supplier.

How to interpret this record

The timeline is evidence of published procurement history, not a lead score. Values can describe a lot, ceiling, estimate or whole contract and must not automatically be treated as annual supplier revenue. Framework appointment does not guarantee call-off work.

Check the original tender, lot structure, duration, modifications and termination notices. Compare several awards before calling a pattern repeatable, and label every inference separately from source facts.
