What the contract is for

Overview:SatCen (in cooperation with the European Defence Agency, EDA) seeks a Contractor to design, execute and analyse a proof-of-concept demonstration under the AIDRA initiative (Artificial Intelligence In-orbit Data pRocessing Assessment). The demonstration objective is to evaluate, under space-representative conditions (preferably in-orbit, alternatively qualified ground simulation TRL ≥ 6), AI-enabled on-board data processing (AI-OBDP) within an end-to-end Earth Observation (EO) data chain supporting Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT). The purpose is to produce independent, evidence-based findings on technical behaviour, system performance, traceability, security, governance and compatibility with GEOINT workflows. The activity is explicitly not to deploy an operational capability, but to produce structured evidence for institutional evaluation.

Selected case scenario and technical focus

Case scenario:vessel detection in maritime areas (chosen for technical maturity and operational relevance). Sensor modalities: tenderer may propose optical, SAR or multi-sensor solutions. AI architectures: tenderer may propose any suitable AI/ML model architecture; selection must be justified against demonstration objectives and execution constraints. Key technical emphases: on-board execution feasibility; model compression/optimisation (quantisation, pruning, knowledge distillation); traceability and provenance documentation for models and outputs; secure data handling and distribution marking; analysis of impacts on GEOINT workflows (latency, prioritisation, end-to-end traceability); optionally, intelligence-driven tasking (Tip & Cue) may be proposed and is positively evaluated but not mandatory.

Eligibility, application & consortium rules

Eligible Applicant Types

Eligible applicants:natural or legal persons established in EU Member States and the European Economic Area (EEA). Tenderers may submit as single economic operators or as consortia (joint tenders). Subcontractors may be from any country but subcontracting must not be used to circumvent procurement access rules. In joint tenders each member must meet exclusion criteria; members of consortia assume joint and several liability toward SatCen. The tender documents include a template Power of Attorney appointing a consortium leader where applicable (Appendix I.2).

Funding Type

Primary financial mechanism:public procurement service contract (direct service contract). This is not a grant, loan or equity mechanism; it is a procurement for services paid by SatCen (€210,000 ceiling).

Consortium Requirement

Consortium:not mandatory. Tenders may be submitted by a single applicant or by a consortium. If submitted by a consortium, members must sign the joint offer and may designate a consortium leader via the provided power of attorney template (Appendix I.2). All consortium members must meet exclusion and selection criteria. Joint tender members assume joint and several liability.

Beneficiary Scope (Geographic Eligibility)

Geographic eligibility:open to entities established in EU Member States and the EEA. Performance and delivery are expected primarily within the EU/EEA; data storage/processing is required to remain inside the EU/EEA per contract data protection provisions. Tenderers may use third-party (including commercial) infrastructure but must secure authorisations and ensure deliverables are provided to SatCen.

Target sectors, project maturity and technical requirements

Target Sector(s)

Primary sectors targeted:space, Earth observation, geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), defence and security, artificial intelligence and applied machine learning, systems integration, research and development consultancy. Relevant technologies and disciplines: satellite EO sensors (optical, SAR), onboard computing (space-grade hardware), AI/ML model optimisation (quantisation, pruning, distillation), edge/on-board processing, secure data handling, verification/traceability methods, system integration and space-representative testing.

Project Stage / Expected Maturity

Expected maturity:demonstration / validation (TRL ≥ 6). SatCen expects a proof-of-concept implemented in a space-representative environment (preferably in-orbit but qualified ground-based simulation accepted). The activity focuses on system-level evaluation under realistic constraints rather than fundamental research or large-scale operational roll-out.

Finance, application & submission details

Funding Amount:Estimated total contract value / ceiling: €210,000 (exclusive of VAT). Tenders with prices above €210,000 will be rejected as inadmissible.

Application Type and Submission Method:Call type: open public procurement (tender).

Address for submission: eSubmission link provided in procurement documents ¹. Tenders must be submitted prior to the deadline (27 April 2026 16:00 Europe/Madrid).

Nature of Support

Beneficiaries receive monetary payment for services under a signed contract (service contract). In addition to monetary payment, the contract requires delivery of non-financial outputs (reports, evidence packages, datasets, model provenance documentation) and access rights: SatCen and EDA acquire joint ownership of results and broad exploitation rights; pre-existing rights remain with holders but must be licensed to SatCen/EDA on a royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable basis sufficient for exploitation.

Application Stages and Evaluation

Number of evaluation stages:six successive evaluation steps are specified: (1) Access to procurement (eligibility by establishment), (2) Exclusion check, (3) Compliance with data protection / environmental / social / labour laws, (4) Selection (legal, economic & financial and technical/professional capacity), (5) Check of minimum requirements (team composition and technical equipment), and (6) Award evaluation (technical quality and financial).

Summary: what is this opportunity and how to explain it

This is an open procurement by the European Union Satellite Centre (SatCen) to award a direct service contract (estimated value €210,000) to an organisation or consortium able to plan, implement and independently assess a technically realistic proof-of-concept demonstration of AI-enabled on-board data processing (AI-OBDP) for Earth Observation in a GEOINT context. The demonstration will focus on a maritime vessel-detection scenario, executed preferably in-orbit or within a qualified ground simulation (TRL ≥ 6), and will generate a Demonstration Plan, Interim progress report, an evidence package (logs, outputs, model compression benchmarks), a Final Analysis & Recommendations report, and a Final Contract Report. The objective is to produce impartial, structured evidence on maturity, risks, technical performance, traceability, governance and workflow integration of AI-OBDP to inform institutional decisions at SatCen and EDA. Tenderers must demonstrate relevant EO and AI experience, propose an appropriate multi-disciplinary team, comply with strict data protection and IP/licensing rules (results to be owned/licensed to SatCen and EDA), and submit a single all-inclusive price not exceeding €210,000. Submissions are electronic via the Funding & Tenders Portal eSubmission system; applicants should consult the full tender dossier and use the provided templates and forms. This procurement represents an opportunity for companies, research organisations and integrators with space/EO/AI expertise to deliver a space-representative demonstration and an independent technical assessment for EU institutional stakeholders.
