C3S_426 LOT 2 Operational Sectoral Information System for the Energy and Wind Storm Insurance Sectors

Tender description

ECMWF as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) invites tenders for the development of operational services that build 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 Proof of Concept (POC) demonstrators addressing the needs of specific sectors prioritised by ECMWF. Two contracts were awarded in the energy sector and one on wind storms for the benefit of the insurance 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. Lot 2: Operational wind storm service for the insurance sector The successful Tenderer shall propose and implement an operational service which builds upon what has been developed for the insurance sector during the pre-operational phase as well as what is available through other European services and programmes. The successful Tenderer will design and implement this service so that it can: • meet the requirements of the current users, duly recorded in the User Requirement Database (URDB); • be computationally efficient to run; and • be as simple as possible to maintain and document. The new service shall be built entirely on the CDS using its tools and the datasets accessible through it. Portal instructions: 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.
