Description

We are looking for a technical delivery partner with a demonstrable background in delivering high quality remote optical tracking stations designed for autonomous satellite monitoring across all orbital regimes including Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO). Whilst not critical, it would be advantageous if the system would be capable of performing occasional astrophotography (for outreach) and Near-Earth Asteroid tracking missions.
The delivery partner will be responsible for the rollout of an optical tracking station network. This is currently expected to span 5 locations herein referred to as “sites”.

NSpOC SDA Sensors: Optical Delivery Partner

This notice relates to the following notice for NSpOC upcoming requirements, which was published on Contracts Finder: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6550b759-b799-4cc3-a053-5adfd1f88458 The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) is intending to procure a delivery partner for the provision of an optical tracking station network, which is currently expected to span 5 locations. One location is designated as a UK test site and four further locations are expected to be overseas. Each site will contain one complete "Sensor System Stack" comprising of a protective dome, compute, telescope mount, telescope, cameras, sensors, cables and any other hardware required to enable successful satellite tracking. We will require the supplier to deliver, ship, store and integrate all hardware required to fulfil the specification, including appropriate controller devices with software to autonomously control the protective dome. Observatories will be deployed, adjusted (e.g. optics collimated) and brought into operation by the supplier in remote overseas locations which may have limited/no local population. UKSA will have responsibility for securing sites with necessary permission, but suppliers will be expected to complete necessary enabling works (e.g. provision of concrete base and security fencing). The total value of this contract shall not exceed £6,250,000.00 (exclusive of VAT). Prospective suppliers should note UKSA intends to offer this on a 3-year basis, but budget is not currently confirmed beyond 31st March 2026. Beyond this point, activity is subject to budget confirmation and is not guaranteed, which will be reflected in break clauses in the contract. UKSA anticipates that FY 25/26 will include the completion of the UK test site and purchase of hardware for FY 26/27 deployments. FY 26/27 will include the deployment of two overseas sites and FY 27/28 will include the deployment of the final two overseas sites. Full details will be available in the forthcoming specification.
