The second edition of this year of the EEE Components Procurement course will take place online.

A company participating in an ESA Invitation To Tender (ITT) is required to complete a financial proposal that includes the ESA Procedures, Specification and Standards Forms – known as PSS forms. ESA PSS forms show cost data and are required under the General Conditions of Tender for ESA Contracts (ESA/REG/001, rev.5, Annex IV). The Tender Evaluation Board (TEB) uses this information to conduct a review, comparison and selection from the various tenders received in response to an ITT.

ESA is offering a webinar on "Compliant Industrial Rates for ESA Projects" aimed at Financial Managers and Project Controllers of industrial entities, especially Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, wanting to work with ESA.
