      <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), invites tenders for the provision and development of an EQC framework that targets the existing and emerging CAMS services related to the monitoring of global emissions and natural fluxes. The successful Tenderer shall identify and assess the various options that could be used for the routine EQC as part of an operational service provision. The EQC framework shall take lessons learned from existing EQC activities within CAMS and take recommendations from the CoCO2 project and the European Commission’s CO2 Monitoring Task Force into account. The successful Tenderer shall also evaluate the maturity and fitness-for-purpose of a subset of the proposed EQC methodologies.</cbc:Description>
      <cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode>
      <cbc:Note languageID="ENG">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.</cbc:Note>
