ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), issued a contract for services related to operational service provision. The objective of this framework agreement is 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 standards — for very localised climate information, the Contractor shall prioritise the development of generic methodologies over the provision of detailed datasets to be used directly within standards. The contract shall also develop at least 5 case studies showing how a changing climate could impact existing critical or iconic infrastructure.
