European Space Agency: Contracts
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what proportion of contracts awarded under European Space Agency programmes supported by UK funding have been secured by UK-based organisations since 2020.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
Since 2020, ESA has awarded €2.05 billion worth of contracts to UK entities, spanning industry and academia. This has been distributed across more than 69,000 contracts to UK space sector. We are unable to provide the proportion of UK contracts awarded to total ESA contracts because this is withheld by ESA due to commercial sensitivities.
