In plain English

Space Scotland wants to hire a specialist contractor to study whether Scotland should set up a coordinated programme for in-space advanced manufacturing (ISAM), which means making products in space. The study runs from November 2026 to March 2027 and is worth about £20,000.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out a feasibility study assessing whether Scotland should develop a coordinated ISAM programme • Deliver the study within the period November 2026 to March 2027 • Bring specialist expertise in in-space manufacturing to the assessment

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice lists no formal qualifications or certifications, but it asks for a specialist contractor in in-space advanced manufacturing, so a small firm without evidence of space-sector expertise is the most likely to be ruled out.
