IAA is publishing this VEAT Notice on behalf of the aforementioned contracting entities/authorities for the purpose of entering into a contract between ACG, CCL, IAA and Naviair, and LFV based on the technical exclusivity they gain in the output / product / processes they obtain from input / contributions provided by external resources that will further enable the preparation of the COOPANS Common SWIM Solution to the benefit of all the parties.
Identification of the project: The COOPANS Alliance members are parties to the SESAR Deployment Framework Partnership Agreement, Consortium Agreement and Internal Cooperation Agreement and the Specific Grant Agreement for Implementation Project 2017_066_AF5 Implementing harmonised SWIM (Y) solution.
The COOPANS Alliance’s cooperation is unique in the European ATM system management landscape in terms of its duration, scope, participation, ambition, and organisational abilities. Constantly aiming for efficiency gains, the current organisational development of the COOPANS Alliance is replacing the classical “comitology” concept of cooperation where all partners jointly work and decide on all issues by a more integrated (“company-like”)
governance and allocation of tasks. Under this progressive concept, an individual COOPANS member takes over tasks and functions on behalf of their fellow COOPANS Members.
In the overall scope and duration of the COOPANS Alliance, the Common SWIM Project is one of numerous activities the COOPANS members have collaborated on and is a strategically important priority.
As part of the COOPANS Alliance’s forward-looking approach to ensure the highest level of participation, the COOPANS members have allocated the upcoming phase i.e., the further work to generate the COOPANS Common SWIM Solution to LFV. Once the Common Solution has been generated and made available by LFV, each COOPANS member will then locally implement and deploy it at its own premises and at its own cost.
Due to the lack of resources within the COOPANS members, the parts of the project related to SWIM functionality has had limited technical progress. Upon request from other COOPANS members, LFV agreed to take on the task of leading the development of Common SWIM solution that will serve as a basis for local implementations by each Signatory
In respect of the Common SWIM Solution, LFV will perform the necessary tasks with internal resources as well as external support. LFV will use their internal competencies and skills to identify whether or not additional external specific competencies will be required for the delivery of a Common Swim Solution for example to include but not limited to the following; cyber security, service development and service operations; expertise of service architecture and development in Java in a Linux environment; service development using standard databases; agile development methods and development and operationally capability; safety analysis and assessments. LFV will obtain these specific competencies from its own legal arrangements.
This Contract addresses the use by the parties of the overall solution created by LFV combing LFV internal resources with the output / product / processes LFV obtain from inputs / contributions contractually provided by those external resources to LFV , the cost of which will be shared equally between the COOPANS members. LFV will be compensated by the other COOPANS members according to their respective shares on a strict and transparent cost-only reimbursement basis.
