27. Emmet Fletcher | SSA Precursor Programme | SSA Industry Day | CO-VIII & DC-II Page: 27 European Space Agency CO-VIII: OPTIONS As with DC-II, bidders are asked to provide an offer for the annual maintenance of the systems for at least three years after the end of the contract The option will not be valid until the end of the contract; ESA unlikely to take this option until FAT completion (at earliest).

28. Emmet Fletcher | SSA Precursor Programme | SSA Industry Day | CO-VIII & DC-II Page: 28 European Space Agency CO-VIII KEY ISSUES: IPR AND SW REUSE As with DC-II: “SSA needs to own the IPR of all non-COTS software that it will eventually operate. This is needed to allow SSA to license the SW in future contracts (development, maintenance, and operations) and eventually transfer the SSA system to a third party for operations.” As a result: – All software developed will be considered as “operational software” in the contract – “When offers are based on re-using software where ESA does not already own the IPR, the bidders are expected to transfer to ESA the IPR in the form of a written agreement at no cost or provide - as an option - the cost of transferring the IPR for these systems to ESA for use in SSA.”

29. Emmet Fletcher | SSA Precursor Programme | SSA Industry Day | CO-VIII & DC-II Page: 29 European Space Agency CO-VIII KEY ISSUES: IPR AND SW REUSE The right to exercise the transfer of IPR options need to be valid for at least 3 years from KO. These IPR transfer option costs (if any) will not be considered within the ITT envelope but must be quoted. ESA is unlikely to take the IPR options at KO; instead this will be a decision taken later based on the success of the development and the likelihood to use it a basis for the full programme implementation. Any IPR offered to ESA shall be subject to “due diligence” procedures from ESA before the transfer can be completed. Any IPR transfer to ESA does not exclude the bidder from continuing to use the offered software. ESA will normally grant the bidder a licence. In all cases (with or without IPR transfer) the bidder needs to provide a license to ESA for the indefinite continued use of the software. The ESA draft contract attached to the ITT will specify the complete terms and conditions with regard to Operational Software and re-use of existing/third party products.
