Outline Proposal
ESA Presentation | 03/06/2014 | Slide 7ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use
IAP (ARTES 20)Outline Proposal – Direct Negotiation (1)
Purpose of Outline Proposal• Check if idea and content fits with the eligibility criteria of the
ARTES 20 programme
• ESA to point out pitfalls
• Opportunity to improve the proposition and create links with value addingpartners (match making)
• Starting point for coordination with related national delegations of involvedindustries, as they have to authorise their involvement and budgets
• … before the tenderer / consortium invests more effort in the generation of a full proposal
• Input information for ESA approval processes (e.g. JCB, AC / IPC)which are required before the procurement process can be completed
ESA Presentation | 03/06/2014 | Slide 8ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use
IAP (ARTES 20)Outline Proposal – Direct Negotiation (2)
General information• Tenderers can approach ESA already at an early stage of an idea
(email / telephone + sketch of the idea early discussion)
• Official element to initiate the process is submission of Outline Proposalto the IAP email account: iap@esa.int
• Outline Proposal templates (FS & DP) accessible underhttp://artes-apps.esa.int/artes-20-proposal-guide/direct-negotiation
• 3 basic Eligibility Criteria:
- user driven initiative involvement of representative users / customers not technology push but market demand
- aiming for sustainable services market opportunity + service provider not technology development but business development
- integration of more than one space asset(Satcom, Satnav, Earth Observation, Human Spaceflight, others)
substantiated, added value of space assets

IAP (ARTES 20)Outline Proposal – Direct Negotiation (3)
Structure of Outline Proposal for Feasibility StudyChapter 1 – Introduction:
• Scope: «elevator pitch» concise summary including the proposed service, intended user, space assets
• Background:- background trends / issues- specific context where the service applies (current situation, focus, etc.)- challenge addressed by the service
Typically no issues / problems with this chapter
hint: give the activity a name / title

IAP (ARTES 20)Outline Proposal – Direct Negotiation (4)
Structure of Outline Proposal for Feasibility StudyChapter 2 – User Needs and Conditions:• User description:
- presentation of the users which will be involved in the study,including information on their market position hint: representative of the targeted market domain (e.g. leader, pioneer)
- letter of interest: why they are interested and what they contribute
• Current situation:- how the users currently handle their operations- what are the challenges and shortcomings
• User needs:- essential, driving user needs (e.g. functionality, quality, price, performance)
• Other stakeholders and constraints:- major stakeholders required for successful deployment of operational services
(e.g. regulatory, economic, policy, safety, environment, public)- relevance of the stakeholders and information when they need to be involved

IAP (ARTES 20)Outline Proposal – Direct Negotiation (5)
Structure of Outline Proposal for Feasibility StudyChapter 3 – Solution:• Service description:
- identification and preliminary description of the proposed services- identification of the targeted service value chain- planned approach to service provision- expected service provider
observations: - thoughts limited to feasibility study but not to operational service- R&D / technology driven activity- no plan for service provision (incl. service provider)
• Integrated solution:- what the space assets are and their added value is- how the solution integrates space and terrestrial assets- high level architecture
observation: good know how on one space asset, but not on others

IAP (ARTES 20)Outline Proposal – Direct Negotiation (6)
Structure of Outline Proposal for Feasibility StudyChapter 4 – Service Assessment (1):• Added value:
- of the service for the user
observations: - technology driven argumentation- no appreciation / knowledge what the motivation of the user is
(e.g. reduction of operational efforts, cost savings, business expansion to other customers / markets, image improvement)
• Viability:- most important aspects influencing the viability of the service- critical success factors- work approach to viability analysis
observations: - tenderer is technology company (SME) with limited know-how on this subject- no business development expertise in the team- no market domain know-how in the team
ESA Presentation | 03/06/2014 | Slide 13ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use
IAP (ARTES 20)Outline Proposal – Direct Negotiation (7)
Structure of Outline Proposal for Feasibility StudyChapter 4 – Service Assessment (2):• Risks:
- main risks endangering the sustainability / viability of the service
observations: - technology driven argumentation- no appreciation / knowledge of the commercial / non-technical aspects
most of the issues for service roll-out are of non-technical nature!
• Roadmap:- roadmap towards operational service provision
(what comes after the study, when is market entry required / envisaged,what partnership agreements might be required, what about fund raising, etc)
- plans for a potential follow-on demonstration project- vision and role of consortium partenrs with respect to operational service
observations: - no thoughts beyond feasibility study- no awareness about funding needs for next steps and related own capabilities

New Study Logic of an IAP Feasibility Study
• Task 1 – consolidating the interest of the related stakeholders and users, analysing their problems and needs, and defining the user requirements, • Task 2 – defining the services and the service value chain, generating the specifications and architecture of the related system including design justification, identifying the critical elements
• Task 3 – proving the feasibility of critical technical and non-technical elements of the system and/or of parts thereof (Proof of Concept) in collaboration with the users• Task 4 – analysing the economic and non-economic viability of the services and the associated system
Task 1: Stakeholder/User Analysis & User Requirements Def.
Task 2: Service and System Definition
Task 3:Proof-of-Concept / Prototype
Task 4: Viability Analysis (economic & non-economic)

- overview of the tasks planned (see study logic in ‘Management Requirements’)- perceived most critical and important issues per task
• Consortium and partners:- introduction of consortium partners- and their capabilities / experiences for the activity
observations: - missing domain know-how, - missing business development expertise,- very good know-how on only one space asset
ESA Presentation | 03/06/2014 | Slide 17ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use
Ideal characteristics of involved parties:• User:

• Cost and price:- total cost of the study & funding requested from ESA- indication of source of co-funding- 100% funding possible only for universities and R&D institutes - … if they justify no further commercial interest in the exploitation of service
observations: - only information regarding cost, but not on ESA funding- 100% funding required by organisations other than universities and
R&D institutes, because they claim no further commercial interest

Preparation of Full Proposal for competitive ITTs• Competitive ITTs are prepared and initiated by ESA-IAP in collaboration with
dedicated user communities• Such ITTs are 100% funded by ESA• These initiatives are first announced as “Intended Invitations to Tender” (IITT)
on EMITS (a few weeks in advance of ITT publication)• The preparation of proposal is regulated by a dedicated set of tender
documents, i.e. Cover letter, Statement of Work, Special Conditions of Tender, Draft Contract
• Full Proposal content is similar to Full Proposal for studies in Direct Negotiation • During the opening period (10-12 weeks), ESA is not allowed to interact with
any interested tenderer (to observe the nature of a competitive tender)• … but interaction with ESA is possible before publication of ITT
