Industrial Policy: the "Best Practices" approach
|
In the frame of its major procurements, ESA has persistently been driven by the objective of ensuring fairness of competition at all levels and in particular between prime contractors and subcontractors.
|
This resulted in a number of different procurement schemes set up by ESA in order to adapt to the various constraints put on it by each individual programme and its specific environment.
|
More recently, the reorganisation of space industry in Europe brought the attainment of this objective as one of the top priorities to be achieved by the ESA Executive and this was recognized by the ESA Council at ministerial level.
|
It was therefore decided to merge under a unique document the existing rules applied up to now to various procurement activities and concerning the fairness of the selection of subcontractors in ESA Major Procurements. This document establishes a unique set of rules to be known as the "Best Practices for the Selection of Subcontractors by Prime Contractors in the frame of ESA Major Procurements."
