C3S_431 Sectoral Information System to support infrastructure, transport and associated standards

Tender description

ECMWF as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) invites tenders for services related to operational service provision. This Invitation to Tender (ITT) is designed to support the development of a prototype service able to provide relevant climate inputs into the standards that underpin civil engineering assets and transport infrastructure. Given the scope and considering the requirements - within existing standard - for very localised climate information, the Tenderer shall prioritise the development of generic methodologies, consistent with the three top level objectives specified in Volume II of the ITT documents, over the provision of detailed datasets to be used directly within standards. The ITT shall also develop at least five case studies showing a changing climate could impact existing critical, or iconic infrastructure. Portal instructions: In order to allow potential bidders to get a better understanding of the service tendered before committing to it, some of the ITT documents are accessible under the ‘Attachments’ box at bottom right of this page. The full set of ITT documents and relevant questions are only accessible by registering an interest in this opportunity (see the 'Expression of interest window' at top right). Please refer initially to the ‘ECMWF eProcurement Portal Guidance for suppliers’ file in the Attachments box as this document will help you navigate the portal and locate the necessary information in order to submit a proposal. Please note that the contact email address shown under 'Contact details' is not monitored, and any messages sent to this email address will not be attended to. Questions / clarifications concerning this ITT must 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.
