C3S_513 Evaluation and Quality Control Framework for the Sectoral Information Systems

Tender description

ECMWF as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) invites tenders for implementation of the Evaluation and Quality Control (EQC) framework for the Sectoral Information Systems (SISs). The successful Tenderer will identify the methodologies to assess the quality of both technical and delivery components of the services developed by the SIS contracts including their ability to engage with the target users and provide value to them. The successful Tenderer will design the routines and the reporting procedures that each SIS team will have to follow to inform ECMWF, the European Commission, and the users themselves about the quality, the usefulness, usability and uptake of their proof of concept products. The work to be done will rely on outputs from several existing C3S contracts.
