Geo-Return: Bid Writing Common Mistakes

A workshop looking at the most common mistakes that the Tender Evaluation Boards (TEBs) at the European Space Agency (ESA) encounter when reviewing Invitation to Tender (ITT) bids. This session will equip attendees with knowledge of the ESA bid writing process and the common mistakes to avoid.

The ESA Policy & Operations Team work to maximise the UK’s engagement with the European Space Agency (ESA) to drive economic growth and innovation. The team addresses strategic issues related to the UK’s ESA membership, ensuring alignment with national objectives and advocating for industry opportunities within the ESA ecosystem.

They oversee the coherent delivery of ESA commitments, monitoring the UK’s strategy and Geographical Return (Geo-return). Through data-driven insights, they promote additional contracts and cultivate opportunities for UK industry, enhancing the nation’s position in science, research, and technology. This proactive approach stimulates economic growth across the UK, encouraging sustained participation and expansion within the ESA ecosystem.
