Description


The institution of the Ombud is essential for ensuring fairness, transparency and accountability of the European Space Agency towards and between economic operators in the context of ESA Programmes.

- facilitate the resolution of disputes among economic operators arising in the context of ESA's procurements and related to the selection of subcontractors either during the bidding period (consortium Offer request by ESA) or during ESA-Prime contract execution in the frame of "best practices" for the selection of subcontractors;
- participate as a member in Dispute Adjudication Boards for amicable resolution of disputes between the Agency and the Contractors and during this phase, facilitating as needed communications between contractors;
- upon request, give ad-hoc consultation to ESA on industrial issues and issues of revision and modification of rules and procedures applicable to procurement matters;
- upon authorisation by Council, participate in mediation and arbitration of disputes under Framework Supply Agreements between economic operators;
- assist to the meetings of the Industrial Policy Committee, at the invitation of ESA.
