Industry Day 2025 for Competitive Frame Contracts in Ground Segment Engineering & Mission Operations

Industry Day for the Procurements

  • Competitive Frame Contracts for Ground Segment Engineering, Mission Operations and Engineering Support Services to Space Traffic (GOFX)
  • Flight Dynamics and Precise Navigation Support Services
  • Flight Operations Engineering Services

The Directorate of Operations (OPS) is responsible for Mission Operations and Ground Segment Engineering for space missions. To achieve these goals, OPS relies upon industrial services and procurement of deliverables for ground segment systems. These Services are intended to be procured via three separate Invitations to Tender: 

  • Competitive Frame Contracts for Ground Segment Engineering, Mission Operations and Engineering Support Services to Space Traffic (GOFX)
  • Flight Dynamics and Precise Navigation Support Services (standalone Contracts)
  • Flight Operations Engineering Services (standalone Contracts)

The Agency organises an Industry Day to provide an overview on the intended above-described Procurements followed by a Question & Answer session.

We encourage you to raise any question you may wish to address at the Industry Day upfront by sending an email to Mrs. Sabine Röttger (email: Sabine.Roettger@esa.int) with copy to Ms. Melissa Merdanovic (email: Melissa.Merdanovic@ext.esa.int) by 17th January 2025 COB.
