Opportunity overview

The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) is seeking a supplier for a live operational platform that can provide SDA data across a range of different phenomenologies. The requirement is for a platform that: * Connects to a global supplier network covering multiple SDA phenomenologies * Supports rapid tasking of that network (within 1 hour of order being placed) * Supports rapid data delivery and high re-visit rates for target objects * Capable of automated delivery, either via a UDL or via API into the BOREALIS system * Is already operational and capable of fulfilling these requirements immediately upon contract commencement without development, onboarding or implementation activity ("day zero ready") * Allows for specification of licencing provisions on a case-by-case basis according to operational need (e.g. sharing with UK Government partners vs sharing with NATO allies)

Why this procedure was chosen
The contract is being directly awarded to Bluestaq Ltd under Schedule 5 paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Procurement Act 2023. Bluestaq owns the intellectual property rights in the Global Data Marketplace platform and its associated data integration capabilities, and no alternative supplier is known to offer an operational, day-zero-ready platform providing equivalent access to a global network of space domain awareness data providers, automated tasking, rapid data delivery, and integration with existing operational systems. The Authority is therefore satisfied that the contract may only be supplied by this supplier due to exclusive rights and the absence of competition for technical reasons.
