ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), invites Tenders for the delivery and operation of Evaluation and Quality Control (EQC) activities for datasets in the Climate Data Store (CDS). The aim of the EQC activities is to ensure that CDS datasets are subject to consistent quality assurance, scientific quality assessment, and fitness-for-purpose guidance, supporting informed and responsible use of climate data across a wide range of application contexts. EQC outputs are expected to be authoritative, transparent, traceable, and maintained as part of the operational CDS service. ECMWF intends to award a single Framework Agreement, with a maximum duration of 24 months, which shall be implemented via a single multi-annual Service Contract, expected to commence in Q3 2026.

Beschreibung der Beschaffung
To support informed and responsible use of CDS datasets, C3S has established an EQC framework that combines quality assurance, scientific quality assessment, and fitness-for-purpose guidance. The EQC framework is designed as an operational component of the CDS, ensuring that quality-related information is maintained over time, aligned with the evolving CDS catalogue, and made accessible to users in a consistent and transparent manner. EQC activities shall support both direct user access to quality information and integration with an emerging LLM-based search and discovery service.
The successful Tenderer shall contribute to the delivery and operation of EQC activities as an integrated CDS service, supporting consistency, transparency, and sustainability across datasets and services. In particular, the successful Tenderer shall: support the planning, coordination, and operational delivery of EQC activities across all CDS dataset categories; contribute to the production, maintenance, and review of authoritative quality and fitness-for-purpose information; ensure that EQC outputs are aligned with CDS governance, dataset roadmaps, best practices, validation protocols, technical standards and scientific review processes; support the effective communication of quality-related information to users and user-facing services; produce ad-hoc quality assessment on specific topics as requested by ECMWF.

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.
