IT and GIS consultancy services on implementation of Copernicus reference data access (RDA) component and on supporting the EEA in other Copernicus activities (2 lots)

European Environment Agency (EEA)

Copernicus, previously known as GMES (global monitoring for environment and security) is the European programme for the establishment of a European capacity for earth observation.
The EEA plays a key role in the development of the Copernicus services, in particular in the technical coordination and implementation of the pan-European and local component of the Copernicus land monitoring service, and of the Copernicus reference data access (RDA) component.
The RDA component work described in this call for tenders fits a dual track approach to ensure service cross-cutting improved availability and access to a selected group of required reference data. The first and most important track consists of improving the access to existing national and regional reference data by setting up an intermediate node at the EEA, for use by Copernicus services. This node shall harvest national and regional datasets from the EEA 39 member and cooperating countries, and make them available at a single point of access for the Copernicus services.
The second and complementary track consists of improving pan-European reference datasets, which are primarily used for gap filling over those areas for which no national or regional reference data can be accessed in the short term, or in cases where homogeneous data specifications are required over the full geographic coverage. As the implementation of Inspire progresses, the first track will gain in importance, whereas the second track is deemed to fade out on the longer term.
This call for tenders is thus divided in 2 lots:
lot 1 covers technical support for set-up and maintenance of the Copernicus reference data access node; and
lot 2 covers technical support for completion and improvement of pan-European hydrographic and elevation datasets (EU-Hydro and EU-DEM) for use by Copernicus services.
