    Brief

    Ofcom is seeking suppliers to provide a small parabolic dish tracking system to replace aging equipment at its Baldock monitoring site. The system will feature a 90cm parabolic dish with an updated pedestal and controller, designed to measure and track satellites using TLE (Two-Line Element) data. It must be controllable via software or web-based GUI and maintain all current monitoring capabilities. This is a preliminary market engagement to identify available solutions that will help Ofcom enhance its satellite monitoring and radio interference detection capabilities. Supplier input will inform Ofcom's future procurement strategy and help evaluate the most suitable technical approaches for this upgrade.
