ColegroveIndustrial team build-up Right from the beginning of phase B2, the Core team is in place to organise theselection of the subcontractors for the complementary activities Within the Core team, the responsibilities are assigned for the establishment of therest of the industrial team The list of items to be subcontracted is defined– more than 80 items All fields of work are covered– Support tasks, AIT, sub-systems, equipments, software, GSE’s The method of procurement– Open competition The selection process– ESA Best Practices– Confidentiality– Fairness of competition The industrial team build-up is a continuous process all along phase B2– Gradual release of ITTs– Selection of subcontractors‣ made by ESA and the spacecraft prime contractor on technical, cost, schedule, risk, and geo-return grounds At the end of phase B2, the industrial team is complete and at work
