Summary

The MetOp Second Generation (MetOp-SG) programme is the space segment component of EUMETSAT’s Polar System Second Generation (EPS-SG). MetOp-SG is a cooperative undertaking between ESA and EUMETSAT.

The space segment consists of two series of MetOp-SG satellites, so-called “Satellite A” and “Satellite B” series, with a baseline of three units for each series. The MetOp-SG series of satellites will provide continuity, with improved products performances, of the observation carried out since 2006 by the first generation of MetOp satellites.

The ESA MetOp-SG Programme encompasses the development and qualification of the first satellite of each series (together with the associated instruments). The EUMETSAT EPS-SG Programme encompasses the recurrent MetOp-SG satellites. ESA will procure the recurrent satellites (together with the associated instruments) on behalf of EUMETSAT.

ESA has concluded a contract with Airbus Defence and Space SAS and Airbus DS GmbH, members of Airbus Defence and Space group, for the procurement of the series of MetOp-SG satellites, Satellite A with Airbus Defence and Space SAS in France and Satellite B with Airbus DS GmbH in Germany.

The MetOp-SG procurement in phase B2 refers to the activities led by the satellite prime contractors and their core team, together with ESA, in order to build-up an industrial consortium to undertake the satellites development.

The procurement encompasses all steps from the preparation and release of ITT, tendering phase, evaluation, recommendation and selection, up to negotiation and kick-off. It is governed by the contract and its applicable appendices: ESA Best Practices “For the selection of subcontractors by Prime Contractors in the frame of ESA’s major procurements”

The list of items to be subcontracted and ITT release planning, subject of this document, provides the consolidation of all the procurement actions which will be undertaken by the core team and of the associated planning. It is intended to be published on EMITS in order for the potential bidders to prepare / plan their proposals in response to the forthcoming ITT’s.

Note: the schedule information provided in this document is valid at the date of issuing of the document. The present document will be regularly updated and published on EMITS. Nevertheless, the formal communication for each procurement item is through the Intended ITT and ITT release on EMITS by the Issuing Company.

1 SCOPE OF DOCUMENT

1.1 Purpose

The MetOp Second Generation (MetOp-SG) programme is the space segment component of EUMETSAT’s Polar System Second Generation (EPS-SG). MetOp-SG is a cooperative undertaking between ESA and EUMETSAT.

The space segment consists of two series of MetOp-SG satellites, so-called “Satellite A” and “Satellite B” series, with a baseline of three units for each series. The MetOp-SG series of satellites will provide continuity, with improved products performances, of the observation carried out since 2006 by the first generation of MetOp satellites.

The ESA MetOp-SG Programme encompasses the development and qualification of the first satellite of each series (together with the associated instruments). The EUMETSAT EPS-SG Programme encompasses the recurrent MetOp-SG satellites. ESA will procure the recurrent satellites (together with the associated instruments) on behalf of EUMETSAT.

ESA has concluded a contract with Airbus Defence and Space SAS and Airbus DS GmbH, members of Airbus Defence and Space group, for the procurement of the series of MetOp-SG satellites, Satellite A with Airbus Defence and Space SAS in France and Satellite B with Airbus DS GmbH in Germany.

The MetOp-SG procurement in phase B2 refers to the activities led by the satellite prime contractors and their core team, together with ESA, in order to build-up an industrial consortium to undertake the satellites development.

The procurement encompasses all steps from the preparation and release of ITT, tendering phase, evaluation, recommendation and selection, up to negotiation and kick-off. It is governed by the contract and its applicable appendices: ESA Best Practices “For the selection of subcontractors by Prime Contractors in the frame of ESA’s major procurements”

The list of items to be subcontracted and ITT release planning, subject of this document, provides the consolidation of all the procurement actions which will be undertaken by the core team and of the associated planning. It is intended to be published on EMITS in order for the potential bidders to prepare / plan their proposals in response to the forthcoming ITT’s.

Note: the schedule information provided in this document is valid at the date of issuing of the document. The present document will be regularly updated and published on EMITS. Nevertheless, the formal communication for each procurement item is through the Intended ITT and ITT release on EMITS by the Issuing Company.

1.2 Definitions

Airbus DS, as Prime Contractor of the MetOp-SG satellites, is leading a consortium of companies to undertake all activities relevant to the Phase B2, Phase C/D, Phase E1, support to Phase E2 and to Phase F, for both series of MetOp-SG satellites (A and B).

Within its responsibilities, the Prime Contractor organises the procurement and selection activities, i.e. the build-up of the industrial consortium in accordance with the MetOp-SG satellites requirements.

The Phase B2 covers the satellites definition and architectural design tasks and terminates with the Preliminary Design Review, having also performed a SRR (System Requirements Review) in the first months after kick-off.

The Phase C covers the detailed design and development and is finalised with the CDR. Phase D comprises the manufacturing, integration and test of both series of MetOp-SG satellites up to the successful FAR.



The Phase E1 covers the Launch Campaign, Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP), and the Satellites in-Orbit Verification (SIOV) and commissioning.

The phase E2 covers support to the Satellites routine operations.

The principal objective of Phase F is to complete successfully the in-orbit disposal (controlled re-entry) of each satellite at the end if its mission life, in accordance with the space debris mitigation requirements.

The following definitions will be used throughout this document:

The term “To Be Confirmed” (TBC) will be used in all cases where a statement or requirement has only informal character and may be subject to changes. Typically a “TBC” is used in combination with the numerical definition of some performance parameters, the final value of which may be changed as a result of the engineering work.

The term “To Be Determined” (TBD) will be used whenever a requirement can only be qualitatively specified. In particular a “TBD” is used for the numerical definition of a parameter at a later stage. Engineering assumptions shall be made in consultation with the customer for interim numerical definitions.

The term “Issuing Company” represents a legal entity, a company being in charge of procuring under the rules of ESA Best Practices.

The term “Agency” is used for The “European Space Agency” / ESA.

The term “Procurement” comprises all process steps of the tendering and subcontractor selection process up to the kick-off.

The term “Subcontracting” represents the monitoring and control of the subcontractor’s implementation activities from kick-off to delivery and post-delivery support up to contract close out. It comprises the process and tools to ensure on time and on quality delivery of equipment units.

The term “Prime Contractor” is used to identify the company who is responsible vis a vis ESA of the contract for the phases B2, C/D, and E of the Satellite series (A or B):

Airbus Defence and Space SAS (former Astrium SAS) is the Prime Contractor for the Satellite A contract;

Airbus DS GmbH (former Astrium GmbH) is the Prime Contractor for the Satellite B contract.

The term “CPI instruments” defines the Contractor Provided Item instruments.

The term “Core Team” is used to identify the Prime Contractor plus the part of the industrial team which has been pre-selected at the time of the phase B2 kick-off,

either under RFP / tender process by ESA for what concerns the CPI instruments,

or, during the proposal phase for what concerns the Satellites Prime Contractors,

as required to accomplish the programme objectives.

The term “Industrial Team” or “Industrial Consortium” defines the whole of Prime Contractor, CPI contractors, and lower level subcontractors.

The term “items to be subcontracted” or “procurement items” is used to identify the products or tasks which will be subcontracted by the Core Team and which will be selected through the Subcontractors Selection Procedure in Best Practices.

The term “Supply Chain” represents the multiple levels and multi-stage subcontracts for value creation in the design, development and production of goods.

4 SELECTION PROCEDURE

The build-up of the industrial team is based on the ESA Best Practices “For the Selection of Subcontractors by Prime Contractors in the frame of ESA’s Major Procurements” (AD1 and AD2). The major steps are summarized here-below:

Intended ITT: this is completed in advance, at least 2 weeks before the ITT release.

ITT preparation and approvals: this is completed when all the ITT documentation has been reviewed and finalised by the Tender Evaluation Board, approved by ESA and the Prime Contractor, and is ready for release. It includes the definition of evaluation criteria and weighting factors for the evaluation.

Issue of ITT - Tendering phase: the ITT bid packages are published on the ESA EMITS system. The time left for the proposal elaboration is nominally six weeks from the ITT release until proposal delivery.

Receipt, opening and distribution of tenders: this is made by the relevant ITT Issuing Company and witnessed by the Prime Contractor and ESA in preparation of and following receipt of the subcontractors’ tenders.

Evaluation of tenders: this is made under the responsibility of the TEB whose composition is defined before the ITT release. TEB membership includes staff of the Issuing Company, the CPI Contractor, the Prime Contractor, and ESA. The evaluation phase ends with the signature and issuing of the TEB report.

Recommendation: for each item, a recommendation is made by the Issuing Company based on the TEB report. The final recommendation is made by the Prime Contractor to ESA in batches of procurement items based on the TEB reports, the Issuing Companies’ recommendations, and on overall project considerations including geographical return.

Coordination Body: the Prime Contractor recommendation for batches of procurement items will be presented at the monthly Industrial Procurement Meetings (IPM) of the Coordination Body to which the ESA and Prime Contractor project managers will participate.

Final decision: ESA will endorse the Prime Contractor recommendation to make the final decision within one week, or otherwise submit it to a Senior Procurement Board.

The planned duration is approximately 4 month between the ITT release and the date of the kick-off with a selected subcontractor, taking into account 6 weeks for the tender phase.

5.3 Purchase Items

Some items are identified as purchase items in the list. It means that, for such items, the procurement action will be fully delegated to the Issuing Company. This consists in preparing the procurement package, organizing the consultation of potential suppliers, making the evaluation, and performing the selection without the set-up of a Tender Evaluation Board involving ESA and the Prime.

The evaluation findings will be reported to the Prime and ESA. The relevant activity could then be contracted under a purchase order.

The items n° in the list are given in the table below.

6 ITT RELEASE SCHEDULE

6.1 Overall Plan

For each subcontracted item, the ITT procurement package will be prepared by the contractor who is in charge of the procurement, referred to as “the Issuing Company” in AD1.

All the ITT procurement packages documentation will be subject to review by ESA and the Prime Contractor for approval in particular to ensure the fairness of competition and the overall consistency.

The ITT procurement packages will be published on the ESA EMITS system. The time left for the proposal elaboration will nominally be six weeks from the ITT release until the closing date for proposal delivery.

The table here-after show, for each item, the date for the ITT release as a calendar month defined as KO+xm, meaning x month following the programme phase B2 Kick-Off on 01 June 2014. The correspondence with the calendar month is also provided.

The ITT release schedule is driven by the maturity of the specifications on one side, and the need for the item kick-off on the other side. The process for selection and kick-off is nominally of 4 months from the ITT release, except in circumstances where the need for early selection has been identified compared to the kick-off date.

Note: the schedule information provided here-after is valid at the date of issuing of the document. The present document will be regularly updated and published on EMITS. Nevertheless, the formal communication for each procurement item is through the Intended ITT and ITT release on EMITS by the Issuing Company.

7 INDUSTRIAL POLICY REQUIREMENTS

7.1 Geographical Return Requirements

The overall requirements for the geographical distribution of work have been derived from the contribution levels of the ESA MetOp-SG programme. These geographical distribution requirements apply only to the development activities all of which are funded through the ESA MetOp-SG programme (excluding the EUMETSAT contribution).

The geographical return requirements are provided as % figures per country. The applicability is at Prime level and overall for Satellite A PFM and Satellite B PFM. A continuous monitoring will be done in Phase B2. Achieving the geographical return requirements in the distribution of work will be an industrial policy consideration of the Prime in his recommendations for selection in the Best Practices procurement.

Total 100.00%



7.2 Non-LSI Requirements and Reserved ITT’s

Currently the following economic operators are considered as being LSI:

Airbus Defence and Space SAS

Airbus DS GmbH

Airbus Defence and Space Limited

Thales Alenia Space France SAS

Thales Alenia Space Italia Spa

OHB systems AG

A fair distribution shall be achieved between Large System Integrator (LSI) and non-LSI contractors. The requirement is that 50% (by value) of the proposed Best Practices procurement will be selected among non-LSI.

The applicability of this requirement is at Prime level. A continuous monitoring will be done in Phase B2. Achieving 50% of non-LSI in the Best Practices procurement will be an industrial policy consideration of the Prime in his recommendations for selection.

To secure the achievement of this requirement, a number of ITT’s will be reserved for non-LSI in the Best Practices procurement. A preliminary list of ITT’s reserved for non-LSI is given here-after as provisional information. It will be formally confirmed at the time of the ITT release and clearly identified, for each ITT, in the ITT letter on EMITS.

8 NOTES FOR POTENTIAL BIDDERS

The following notes are given as additional information, guidelines, and/or specific requests for the potential bidders in order to better prepare for the ITT release and tendering phase.

Level of subcontracting. The list of items to be subcontracted has been established in accordance with the product tree one level below the major products, i.e. the platform, the instruments, the Ground Support Equipment, etc... which are directly procured by the core team companies. Except in specific cases, the present list does not identify the lower tier levels which will be subcontracted, procured, or purchased, by the selected subcontractors for the respective items to be subcontracted of this document.

Selection of lower tier contractors. It is the responsibility of the potential bidders for each item to establish their own industrial team as part of their proposal. The tenders shall encompass the complete responsibility of the subject item without the need of a subsequent Best Practices procurement action. Offers shall be committing and incorporate lower tier commitments as necessary.

Express of interest and acknowledgement of receipt. An express of interest can be sent at any time in advance, e.g. at Industry Days or upon publication of the present note or in answer to the Intended ITT. It allows to identify the potential suppliers in our own database. Upon release of the ITT, an acknowledgement of receipt / intent to bid form will be available. The tenderers are invited to declare their intended bid. This will allow to better prepare for the receipt, dispatching of tenders, and the evaluation phase.

Fairness of competition. The ESA Best Practices put a great emphasis on impartiality, equity and fairness of competition. ESA will be involved in the ITT release and subcontractor selection process in order to guarantee these principles. ESA will review all the ITT procurement packages, and will evaluate all bids jointly with the Issuing Company, the CPI’s, and the Prime Contractor.

Confidentiality. All information pertaining to the MetOp-SG ITT’s, tenders, evaluations, and all documents arising will be treated as confidential.

Participating States. The following States are participating in the MetOp-SG programme: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. The ITT’s will be addressed to economic operators (including those deemed to act as subcontractors) whose registered office is established in such Member and Associated States which, by the time of the Contract award decision, will be a participating State in the ESA MetOp-SG Space Segment Development Programme.

Non-European procurements and export licences. MetOp-SG, as an ESA programme, has to make maximum use of European industrial competences. The procurement of components and/or units subject to stringent export licence regulations such as ITAR shall, wherever possible, be avoided, and the procurement of components / units from non-European sources shall be minimised. If retained, such procurements shall only be undertaken after consultation, and agreement, with ESA. When activities, products, or components (at the level below the level of subcontracting of the items to be subcontracted of this document) are proposed to be procured outside Europe, they have to be clearly identified and a justification has to be provided. This may occur, e.g. for a qualified product instead of a new development to provide cost/schedule efficiency and risk mitigation. In such case, the tenderer must ensure that all export control requirements will be met and authorisations obtained. This is particularly valid for U.S. procurements and ITAR regulations. A specific request for



information about export control classification will be provided in the ITT’s, which has to be filled in case of U.S. procurements.

Baseline configuration. ESA received confirmation from EUMETSAT that the baseline configuration to be used for the MetOp-SG Best Practices procurements shall be the so-called “3+3 configuration” (i.e. 3 x Satellite A plus 3 x Satellite B). This means that the units for the FM3 satellites can be included in the baseline. All future Best Practices ITT’s will include this approach as the baseline.
