UKSAC26_0043 EO Data Hub Service Delivery

Location

United Kingdom:

Description

UKSA intends to run a competitive procurement to secure a supplier/consortium to lead on the delivery and operation of the Earth Observation Data Hub (EODH) from April 2027 – March 2030. EODH provides a national gateway and platform for Earth Observation (EO) and model datasets. It enables users to access UK and global commercial and research satellite data, processing workflows, and applications for analysing surface temperature and land-use change. Through a single point of access (https://eodatahub.org.uk), the EO Data Hub integrates commercial and open EO datasets, allowing users to search, visualise, analyse, and process data at scale. The EODH is an operational national capability, currently delivered through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO). The current delivery model will continue until March 2027 and will include a technical handover phase with the new delivery supplier throughout January – March 2027. Whilst final decisions on the exact scope are yet to be made our current primary aim of the competition will be to outsource operational delivery of the EODH to both EO and non-EO users subject to relevent internal approvals. The competition would invite suppliers to demonstrate capability, user reach and a vision to grow the activity. An important aspect will be to maximise the re-use of existing intellectual property and minimise any disruption to current users. The expectations will include further development of the established EODH service – broadening the user base, expanding data availability, and improving overall service functionality. The chosen supplier will also be responsible for managing a seamless transition period and uninterrupted service continuity.
