This ITT aims to place three separate contracts. Each contract shall demonstrate an ML-based, interactive solution for clearly identified user groups, expanding the exploitation of DestinE capabilities beyond current groups. Any demonstrator contracted under this ITT shall have the potential to be developed into a service in the future. Demonstrators shall respond to broadly identified user needs. They shall complement existing data or services currently available (e.g. provided by national meteorological services or Copernicus) or under development at national, regional, local, or pan-national level in Europe. Demonstrators proposed shall offer a clear added value vis-à-vis existing products or services. Contracts are expected to implement ML Demonstrators on different topics, addressing needs in different domains. To this end, contracts will be placed in different Lots: Lot 1: Supporting water resilience in Europe; Lot 2: Demonstrating DestinE in the domain of food security; and Lot 3: Combining heterogeneous climate projections for climate adaptation. ECMWF intends to award one contract under each of the Lots, each contract individually to not exceed a maximum total price of €350,000, unless duly justified. The total budget for this ITT is 1 million EUR. Further details are contained within the Volume II document of the ITT. Kindly note that an extension to the deadline for receipt of tenders is not anticipated and any such requests for an extension should be entirely avoided. services The procurement for the contract will be conducted in accordance with ECMWF's procedures as set out in Invitation to Tender documents, which will be available on ECMWF's eProcurement Portal (http://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.
