C3S_424 Operational Sectoral Information System for the Water Sector

Tender description

ECMWF as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) invites tenders for the development of an operational water service that builds upon the experience acquired during the pre-operational phase of the Sectoral Information System (SIS). During the course of 2016 seven contracts were issued by ECMWF to develop POC (proof of concept) demonstrators addressing the needs of specific sectors prioritised by ECMWF. Two contracts were awarded in the water sector. Given that at that time the Climate Data Store was not yet available, these contracts developed services using platforms and data streams which were largely independent from the C3S data infrastructure. The successful Tenderer shall propose and implement an operational water service which takes note of the POC services that have been developed during the pre-operational phase as well as what is available through other Copernicus services (e.g. EFAS for the Copernicus Emergency Management Service). The ITT documents can be found under Question 1.1 Confirmation of understanding of ITT documentation; the documents are also attached to different questions of the online questionnaire as relevant for convenience. The contact email address is not monitored. Any messages sent to this email address will not be attended to. Any questions concerning this ITT shall be submitted via the Messaging area of the ITT, which can be accessed through the My Activities page of the Portal once you have logged-in and registered your interest in this opportunity.
