      <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">ECMWF, as one of the Entrusted Entities for the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative, invites Tenders for the design, development and implementation of a package of courses and training materials in ML/AI for weather, climate, and Earth system modelling as part of DestinE, building to a large extent on the ML activities undertaken in the framework of the initiative at ECMWF and at its partner institutions.</cbc:Description>
      <cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode>
      <cbc:Note languageID="ENG">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.</cbc:Note>

         <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The activities shall link to DestinE ML activities and help promote the Digital Twins and Digital Twin Engine  where possible. Many of the ML activities in DestinE are currently ramping up as part of the second phase of the initiative. The Successful Tenderer will therefore be required to keep up to date with the progress of DestinE, and in particular of the ML activities including through periodic meetings with ECMWF.
The material should include  a series of online courses, e-learning material, educational videos, podcasts and other innovative learning materials aimed to create an engaging learning experience, ensuring high-quality content. It shall also include inputs for in-person training events.
The central requirements of this ITT are to design, develop and deliver a package of online training materials on ML on weather, climate, and Earth system modelling, which links to and exemplifies the ML/AI activities carried out by ECMWF and its partners in DestinE and related projects and the Digital Twins.
ECMWF intends to award a single contract for a period of 24 months, expected to commence in Q1 2025.</cbc:Description>
