4 0 Years ESOC: 1 0 0 % Success Rate  Past: • 60 ESA missions • more than 50 other missions supported • 8 missions rescued after in-orbit failure  Present: • 750 staff • 14 missions (17 s/ c) in routine operations • 12 missions in preparation phase I ndustry Day Briefing – OPS-G Engineering Manpower Support Frame Contract | 24/ 08/ 21010 | Page 4

Ground System s Engineering Departm ent ( 1 / 3 )  The Ground Systems Engineering Department (OPS-G) is responsible for • All engineering activities related to the procurement of the systems required to support missions operations entrusted to the Directorate of Operations and Infrastructure (D/ OPS). • Ground Segment design and technology evolution • Engineering support to mission operations in all phases of the missions and the ground systems life cycle: Mission Control Systems, Simulators, Flight Dynamics, Space Debris and Navigation. • Operations support in the area of Flight Dynamics • Support to ESA and Third party missions in the areas of expertise • Overall technical standardisation policy and coordination for the ground segment. ESA representative in the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS). • Initiate and manage infrastructure investment activities • Initiate and manage R&D in the areas of competence  To accomplish these tasks, and due to permanent staff complement limitations, additional support contractor staff is required, and recruited via support Frame Contracts.

Objectives and Motivation  Opening the competition on manpower FCs currently in place for Ground Segment Engineering (MCS and GS)  Consolidation of divisional manpower support FCs at OPS-G level  Extend Manpower FC to cover all the disciplines in OPS-G  Establishment of a mechanism to recruit contractor staff that is: • efficient (short response time) • effective (access to high qualified contractor staff) • affordable (reduced hourly rates)  To ensure compliance with German labour lease (loan employment) law ( Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz ) I ndustry Day Briefing – OPS-G Engineering Manpower Support Frame Contract | 24/ 08/ 21010 | Page 8

Tasks Covered  Provision of expert support in ground segment systems and operations to all ESA and Third Party customers, including space missions, R&T programmes, technical standardization and coordination, related training and certification;  Provision of expert support to technical evaluation of industrial proposals, to preparation of statements of work, verification, integration and validation of deliverables, plus related tasks;  Provision of technical support to the management of industrial development or study contracts and/ or delegated technical monitoring of such contracts;  Provision of technical support to ESA project reviews;  Support to ESA in external events, technical and review panels of other agencies and meetings with international partners;  Operational activities requiring an extensive experience of the operation of ESA ground segment systems in an operational environment.

The Ground Segment Data Infrastructure Systems Domain not related to Ground Station • 3. Mission Specific Data Systems and New Applications Domain  Astro-dynamics Qualification Domain: • 4. Flight Dynamics Systems Domain • 5. Navigation Systems Domain • 6. Space Debris Systems Domain I ndustry Day Briefing – OPS-G Engineering Manpower Support Frame Contract | 24/ 08/ 21010 | Page 10

Relation to GFC8  Ground Systems Software Related Activities (GFC8) • The GFC8 contract covers development and maintenance of [ software] products in the OPS-G application domains. It also includes operations of the products developed within the contract. Specific service requirements are included for support of the simulation campaigns, Navigation office operations and Space Debris tool operation. - EFC1 activities are not aimed primarily at developing software (although development of algorithms or some engineering software tool activities might be carried out) and include also Ground Station engineering support • In GFC8, both FFP and FUP activities are considered. Development and maintenance activities will, by default, be FFP. FUP support will be used for mission preparation, launch preparation and operational phases. - EFC1 activities will generally be carried out as FUP • Development activities in GFC8 shall be performed normally off- site. Work shall be performed on ESOC site only for: work needed on ESOC specific platform for longer than 6 months period or on- site support work for member of operational teams and Helpdesks. - EFC1 activities will generally be carried out on-site ESA sites I ndustry Day Briefing – OPS-G Engineering Manpower Support Frame Contract | 24/ 08/ 21010 | Page 11

Tendering rules  Exclusions • LSI are excluded from bidding • GFC8 related - GFC8 FCOs are not allowed to tender under EFC1 - QPAs are allowed to tender under EFC1  Consortium building constrains • Consortia, which include more than one large manpower provider to ESA in whatever capacity (Prime or Sub). A “large manpower provider” is deemed to be a company having presently under an existing manpower support contract with the Agency in whatever capacity – being prime- or subcontractor – more than 50 man- years per year of contractual commitment during the Contract duration. • Competing Prime contractors in current manpower frame contracts in the same Application Domain cannot build consortia (see clarification issued) I ndustry Day Briefing – OPS-G Engineering Manpower Support Frame Contract | 24/ 08/ 21010 | Page 12

Selection Process  Two steps within one process • Selection of FCOs • Allocation of Initial WPs to selected FCOs  Evaluation Criteria for each step as per ITT STC  Geo-return preferential clause is included at FC level  Intention is to select at least 2 FCOs per Qualification Domain I ndustry Day Briefing – OPS-G Engineering Manpower Support Frame Contract | 24/ 08/ 21010 | Page 13
