ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), invites Tenders aiming to expand the scope of climate information delivered in the Land and Ocean domains by incorporating products and services for additional Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) split into five distinct Lots, specifically for Sea Surface Salinity (Lot 1), Permafrost (Lot 2), Above-Ground Biomass (Lot 3), Surface Albedo (Lot 4), Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR) (Lot 5). The purpose of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is the provision of operational services aimed at ensuring dependable access to high-quality, consistent, and globally homogeneous satellite climate data products via the Climate Data Store (CDS). The services shall include the following technical activities: (•) Operation and maintenance of processing systems to generate CDR / ICDR datasets (unless these operations are supported by other initiatives). (•) Implementation and/or improvement of operational production chain components as needed to achieve Full Operational Capacity. (•) Provision of access to datasets via the CDS. (•) Quality assurance and validation of the resulting datasets. (•) Provision of supporting documentation that describes the operational algorithms employed in dataset generation, outlines the results of quality assessments, and a user guide to assist users in the appropriate utilisation of the datasets. (•) Maintenance of metadata describing CDR datasets and their associated documentation. (•) Provision of user support services. (•) Contribution to the European State of the Climate, contingent upon the maturity and latency of the ECV data, the upcoming C3S climate dashboard, or an alternative form of support for climate intelligence. For each Lot, ECMWF intends to award a single Framework Agreement for a period of 30 months, which shall be implemented via a single Service Contract (unless multiple Lots are awarded to the same Tenderer) expected to commence in January 2026. Tenderers are invited to submit their Tenders for any one of the Lots, or any combination of multiple Lots (with each submission to be done separately). Participation in multiple Lots in a non-lead capacity (e.g. as a subcontractor or supporting entity) is also permitted. The evaluation of bids will be conducted per Lot.

Beschreibung der Beschaffung
In this Lot, the Sea Surface Salinity ECV Product is the priority. Tenderers shall provide a self-assessment of current maturity levels for each proposed ECV product, based on the maturity matrix presented in Bates and Privette, (2012), together with a plan for increasing maturity levels in order to attain Full Operation Capacity for each product. Priority must be given to monthly averaged L3 and/or L4 products enabling multi-decadal assessment of long-term climate variability and trends. The proposed products must benefit from scientific advances made in relevant research projects (e.g. the ESA-CCI Sea Surface Salinity project or other relevant projects in this context).

“Procedure to be applied: The procurement will be conducted in accordance with ECMWF's procedures as set out in Invitation to Tender documents, which are...”
Procedure to be applied: The procurement will be conducted in accordance with ECMWF's procedures as set out in Invitation to Tender documents, which are available on ECMWF's eProcurement Portal (https://procurement.ecmwf.int/) and no other procedures will apply. In submitting this notice ECMWF does not waive the privileges and immunities granted to it by virtue of its status as an intergovernmental organisation or submit itself to any jurisdiction. Tenders must be submitted using ECMWF's eProcurement Portal. Hard copy (paper) submissions will not be accepted.
Due to the need to include performance and compliance obligations in the contract, ECMWF will contract only with a single legal person or entity which is competent to undertake and commit to these obligations. ECMWF recognises that some bids will involve a number of organisations which may wish to work together to deliver the contract requirements. In such cases, these organisations must identify a lead contractor who will sign the contract with ECMWF and who will be responsible for putting in place legal arrangements to ensure that it can guarantee that all other organisations will also meet the contract obligations. ECMWF will not enter into multiple contracts with individual members of consortia or groups of service providers.
Eligibility: Refer to Section 3.2 of Volume I of the ITT documents.
