UKSA, in short
Who does UKSA award contracts to?
Across 12 contracts recorded since 2021, UKSA has used 9 different suppliers. The most frequent are The Aerospace Corporation, UK, Ltd (4 contracts), University Of Birmingham (3 contracts), SpaceROC Ltd (2 contracts).
What does UKSA buy?
Its most active procurement categories are research and development, office and computing equipment. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do UKSA contracts come up for renewal?
1 contract awarded by UKSA has an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 31 Mar 2028. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does UKSA spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £239k, across the 6 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new UKSA tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new UKSA notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Took on 1 new supplier in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 10 Nov 2025 (1 year ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 6 of 12 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.

Earlier contracts, and any award not published to Find a Tender or Contracts Finder, will not appear. Figures may lag the source portals. Relative dates (such as “in 6 days”) count from 7 November 2026, when this page was built.
