Aurora Engineering Partnership

The full list of cross cutting engineering disciplines are listed in Appendix 2 and sector specific engineering disciplines are listed in Appendix 3. Providers were assessed through an evidence based review of relevant experience and organisational competence. Commercial Assessment The Commercial Assessment used the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register (JOSCAR) as the basis of the commercial evaluation process. Using the Provider Network Approved Providers are invited to compete for work under the Aurora Engineering Partnership in line with their approved category codes. Sustaining the Provider Network Aurora manages access to the Provider Network on a two year cycle providing an environment for approved suppliers to win work. Following the two year cycle, Aurora will refresh the network through a managed EOI/ PQQ process. In certain circumstances Aurora may invite additional Providers into the network e.g. where Aurora have been directed to use a specific Provider by the Authority or a unique capability is required which is not already available in the Provider Network. The Provider Network The charts below provide a high level analysis of the Aurora Provider Network by size classification and those Providers who have qualified in sector specific engineering disciplines: Air Sector Land Sector Sea Sector 58 71 67 Number of Providers qualified in Sector Specific Engineering Disciplines 33 25 44 Number of providers by L/SME classification 20 Micro Small Medium Large Each Provider is technically assessed against cross cutting engineering disciplines and sector specific disciplines. The top performing Providers (evidence based) are approved for those categories. Providers can declare capabilities to provide technical outputs or critical resources or both. Each Provider is approved against specified engineering category codes Asset Management Cross Cutting Engineering Discipline (Appendix 2) Battery & Energy Storage P1 Command & Control Communications Decision Support P1 EM Detection & Attack Systems Human Factors Intelligence Exploitation Lasers Legislation & Regulatory Compliance Materials Navigation & Identification Systems P1 Operational Environment Security & Cyber Software & Complex Hardware Space & Orbital Systems Systems Engineering Technology Training Weapons & Munitions Aero System Design Air Sector Specific Engineering Discipline (Appendix 3) Air Traffic Management system safety P1 21 additional sector disciplines (24 in total for Air) P1 Wind Tunnel testing & analysis Autonomous Land vehicle Safety Assessment Land Design, evaluation & testing of weapons integration P1 11 additional sector disciplines (14 in total for Land) Power generation & distribution Autonomous System Integration & Interoperability Sea P1 Auxiliary / Ancillary Systems 20 additional sector disciplines (23 in total for Maritime) P1 Technology Insertion / upgrade Provider 1 Provider 2 Provider 3 Provider 4 Provider 122 ...
