Tender description

ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), signed a contract for services related to operational service provision in support of the biodiversity sector. The objective of this framework agreement is to develop an operational service able to provide relevant climate information, addressing the needs of key users in the assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems. The service shall be designed to provide high-visibility to the development that is taking place within C3S. The contractor will develop a service that will be integrated into the Climate Data Store (CDS) that is currently being integrated into the overall C3S infrastructure. The biodiversity sectoral information system service will rely upon, and act as a demonstrator of, the functionalities of the CDS and thus will need to be put together using the CDS infrastructure and data contained within the CDS catalogue.
