Tender description

This invitation to tender (ITT) aimed at demonstrating the full potential of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) infrastructure, including the diverse set of datasets in the Climate Data Store (CDS) catalogue and the CDS toolbox, by setting up and demonstrating downstream applications, using one or more of the C3S products as input. This contracts would facilitate the creation of indicators, tools and visualisations that do not necessarily have a sustainable business case, but are excellent communication tools and will show-case the CDS and, hence, increase uptake. This contract award notice lists the contractors for Round 1 of the ITT. The contractor for contract No ECMWF/COPERNICUS/2019/C3S_429a_WEMC will develop visually compelling material to be used by high-school teachers to develop training modules on climate change and climate change impacts, building upon C3S products and the tools provided by the CDS infrastructure and including products developed by the C3S Sectoral Information Systems (SISs). The contractor for contract No ECMWF/COPERNICUS/2019/C3S_429b_CAS will develop a web-based platform that gives farmers and farm organizations in Kenya access to easy-to-understand interactive maps and graphs (an adaptation services toolkit). The Toolkit translates the most critical signals from climate projections and seasonal forecasts, tailored to specific crops and critical agro-climatic conditions. The Toolkit will be developed in co-production together with the target users and the University (JKUAT). The contractor for contract No ECMWF/COPERNICUS/2019/C3S_429c_TECNALIA will develop dashboards to support decision-makers and help them visualise complex and large bits of information in a synthesized way. These dashboards will include a series of customisable widgets (maps, search and filter tools, timelines and animations, charts, comparison tools, contextualisation tools...) that explain the status and trends of some climate change data in a specific location for a specific area. Specific dashboards will be developed for Climate Watch Data Portal, the Spanish Climate Change Office, IHOBE in the Basque Region of Spain, and Madrid and Malaga city Councils.
