    Brief

    This is an award notice for a completed procurement under the RM6126 Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System. The selected supplier will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of UK investment in the European Space Agency's Core Mission 25 (CM25) portfolio, including complementary national programmes. The evaluation will assess the relevance, coherence, and efficiency of this investment and will be the first to integrate both ESA and national programme data. The work will strengthen portfolio monitoring, address challenges including long benefit realization periods, attribution complexity, overlapping investment cycles, and existing data gaps. The findings will inform prioritization for Core Mission 28 and support broader UK Space Agency strategic decision-making.
