o	Communication Services (i.e. the GDDN – Galileo Data Dissemination Network)
o	Geodetic Services (i.e. the GRSP – Geodetic Reference Service Provider) 
o	Timing Services (i.e. the TSP – Timing Service Provider)
•	support to the evolution activities of the Galileo System, including supporting the evolution and deployment of the Galileo Core Infrastructure and of the GSC Infrastructure that will be operated and/or maintained under the contract, and supporting the launch and initial testing of new satellites;
•	support to security (including cybersecurity) of the Galileo System, including the maintenance of the Infrastructure that will be operated and/or maintained under the contract.

The Contractor to whom this tender will be awarded, will be a key partner of EUSPA for the provision of the Galileo Services for all the duration of the FWC, and will receive a significant level of delegation (and associated responsibilities) for the management of the wide scope of activities to be performed.
