PRO_001 Provision of Audit Services to ECMWF for Third Party Agreements

Tender description

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) invites tenders for the provision of audit services to ECMWF for Third Party Agreements signed under the Copernicus Programme (Copernicus) and the Destination Earth Initiative (DestinE). As the requirements of the Copernicus and DestinE are different, in terms of obligations and applicable rules and policies, two distinct contracts will be awarded with two distinct sets of terms and conditions. In order to distinguish between the two contracts (and their specific requirements), two Lots are introduced. Tenderers may respond to one or both Lots. In case a Tenderer wishes to respond to both Lots, the Tenderer should indicate what synergies, including cost savings, can be achieved should both Lots be awarded to them. ECMWF reserves the right to award the two contracts to different Tenderers. Portal instructions: Some of the ITT documents are accessible under the ‘Attachments’ box at bottom right of this page. The full set of ITT documents which are provided inside the response questionnaire 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.
