The UK Space Agency (UKSA), part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), intends to run a competitive procurement to appoint a capable and experienced delivery partner (or consortium) to design and deliver the next phase of the Growth Pathway – a key initiative within the Unlocking Space for Investment (USI) programme.
The Growth Pathway supports the investment readiness of UK space businesses through subsidised, tailored sell-side advisory services. The Advisory Scheme provides bespoke one-to-one support for growth-stage (Series A+) and high-potential space companies, focused on areas including commercial strategy, financial and capital planning, legal and IP, and investor engagement. The overarching aim is to help UK space scale-ups overcome access-to-finance barriers and attract private investment, supporting HM Government's mission of economic growth.
The successful supplier will be responsible for: delivering robust diagnostics and bespoke advisory services to participating businesses; supporting marketing, communications and pipeline development; designing a transparent and flexible service menu; delivering structured engagement touchpoints between UKSA and industry participants; and contributing to monitoring, evaluation and learning activity.
The Advisory Scheme was first piloted in FY2025/26, supporting six industry participants.

The full Specification of Requirements is available by requesting a copy from uksa.commercial@dsit.gov.uk.
