DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal.

The aim of this study is to understand what impacts have occurred as a result of UK funding through the Space for Smarter Government Programme. In order to understand the full extent of any associated impacts of overall funding to date, it is important that this work covers the widest breadth of various project and additional activities. However, it is acknowledged that some prioritisation/rationalisation of work will likely be required and if so, should reflect where programme effort has focussed to date, and ensure that the widest range of programme activities has been taking into account.
