E-TENDERING / EXOSTAR

The Purchaser uses an eSourcing toolkit to enable its sourcing activities to be conducted over the Internet.

Any organisation wishing to engage in tender activities, including initial EOI and PQQ activities with the Purchaser, must follow these steps;

1 – Register with EXOSTAR
2 – Submit your Expression of Interest (EOI) by email and within the EOI timescale in the TIMESCALE Section below.
3 – Submit your completed PQQ form In EXOSTAR before the PQQ deadline TBC.
4 – Join the Tender Process if invited (Instructions will be provided).

STEP 1 – Registration with EXOSTAR Source Pass

To register on Source Pass, visit the Portal’s Login Page at then click on “Register for Exostar Supplier Membership “ and complete the online registration form. When registering your company, you should only select the SOURCE PASS product, for which there is no charge. The entire process should take no more than 10 minutes and need only be completed once. Passwords are issued via email, normally within 2-3 working days.

STEP 2 – Submitting an EOI via email

Once you have registered on Source Pass and intend to submit an EOI for the described equipment you must send an email to; t26-procurement@baesystems.com

The email must contain the following details:
the procurement package name and iBoM number (in the email title)
your organisation’s name;
your contact’s email address;
your contact’s name;
your contact’s telephone number;
your organisation’s Exostar ID number (EXO…)

Your email must arrive no later than the EOI deadline stated in the TIMEFRAMES Section below.

STEP 3 – PQQ Down-Selection

Subsequent to the EOI a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) will be launched in order to qualify organisations for any subsequent tendering process.

Organisations who submitted their EOI within the timeframe stated below will receive details of when the PQQ will be issued and how to access the PQQ in Exostar Source Pass.

The PQQ response will be used to evaluate risk, capability, innovation and other factors (e.g. the potential for grouping and other strategic opportunities) that might influence the Type 26 procurement strategy.

Please note that all potential suppliers are being assessed solely on their responses to this PQQ through Exostar SourcePass; there is no other intervention. We strongly advise you to ensure that you allocate sufficient time and effort to fully answer the PQQ questions. Your responses to the PQQ questions will be the only information we use to select which suppliers will subsequently receive ITT packs.

STEP 4 – Invitation to Tender (ITT)

Subsequent to assessment of PQQ responses, the Purchaser may down-select suppliers who will then receive an Invitation to Tender (ITT) pack, including instructions for joining any e-tender.
