Goodbye paper! ESA Tendering is now online
From 15 March 2016, esa-star – ESA’s System for Tendering And Registration – will be available to internal and external users.
Go to esa-star: https://esastar-emr.sso.esa.int/
The esa-star is a fully electronic, integrated, internet-based tendering system that improves the end-to-end procurement process and makes it easier to exchange information between ESA and industry.
It also provides a Registration and Management facility for external Entities, featuring a simplified and user-friendly registration questionnaire, as well as number of other improvements.
The esa-star registration replaces the 'Industry Outlook' under the previous EMITS system. Registered users will find all their data has been carried over to the new esa-star system.
Initially, just a selected number of ESA Tender Actions will be routed to esa-star, most other ESA Tender Actions will remain the same until autumn 2016.
The selected ESA Tender Actions using esa-star will include several procurement types such as: competitive and restricted Invitations to Tender; Requests for Proposal under EXPRO; non-competitive Requests for Quotation; Announcement of Opportunities; Calls for Proposals; and Best Practices.
The following Open Competitive Tender Actions will be issued through esa-star:
| Components for realization of rad-hard GaN MMICs |
| High Level vibration/Shock relays & development and evaluation |
| Radio Frequency Interference Scenarios, Application Requirements and Counteraction Techniques |
| Modelling of Electrostatic Environment of Ion Emitting Spacecraft (PTRP) |
