Brief

The European Space Agency is planning the procurement of an EU LEO-PNT system, which involves system engineering activities for an industrial phase A/B1 to contribute to the System Requirement Review. This procurement is for navigation satellites and is part of the Galileo/EGNOS Upstream R&D under Horizon Europe. The procurement will follow ESA's adapted rules, with an open competition in two stages.

From the notice

  • In addition to the evolution of Galileo and EGNOS, the EU considers a Multi-Layer PNT mission with a potential additional component in LEO, so-called EU LEO-PNT. The objective is to perform the necessary system engineering activities of an industrial phase A/B1 to contribute to the System Requirement Review (SRR) of this potential EU-LEO-PNT. This activity belongs to Galileo/EGNOS Upstream R&D which is part of the space component of Horizon Europe, under which, in line with the signed FFPA and relevant Contribution Agreement, ESA is delegated by the European Commission to manage this activity. ESA adapted procurement rules will apply as per the ITT to be published (open Competition in 2 stages). ESA reserves the right to place one parallel Contract subject to weighted quality of the proposal of at least 60 points, budget availability and related programmatic decision.
