II.2)Type of contract
Services
II.3)Short description of the contract or purchase(s):
Objective of the Copernicus Contributing Missions access support functions and platform (PRISM) is the provision of the Coordinated Data Access System (CDS) service, which includes the operations, maintenance and evolution of the ensemble of existing supporting functions, processes, tools and infrastructures that coordinate the overall data access and information flow between the Copernicus Contributing Missions and the Copernicus Services and also eligible European Union Institutions, Public Authorities, Union Research Projects. This procurement takes into consideration the evolution of the remote sensing data offer, of the Copernicus Services needs and cloud-based solutions.
 The procurement intends to cover initially the continuity of the CDS service and subsequently the enhancement (e.g., adapt and/or replace as needed) of the current CDS support functions (i.e., its processes, the tools, infrastructure and knowledge) and re-alignment the overall service to the user expectations and in particular providing state of the art data access (i.e. discovery, view, download, exploitation) from all data supply entities with scalable solutions, and integrate web service functionalities, hosted processing and data analytics environments as necessary.
 The procurement will accept only offers that include the full scope of the work, responding to all tender requirements. Such comprehensive offers can be submitted either by a single entity or by a consortium led by a prime. Consequently, un-coordinated partial offers (e.g., bidding only for parts of the service provision, or only for specific support functions) will not be accepted, as they would jeopardise the successful accomplishment of the undertaking.
