DestinE Platform – Data Management Services

Description du marché

Destination Earth (DestinE) is a flagship initiative of the European Union to develop a highly accurate digital model of the Earth on a global scale, jointly implemented by three entrusted entities: ESA, ECMWF, and EUMETSAT. ESA is responsible for the operations of the DestinE Platform, providing unique access to DestinE evidence-based policy and decision-making tools, applications and services. On behalf of ESA, Serco will manage this tender to allow an Open Competition (OC) for Data Management Services (DMS) to be selected to operate as part of the DestinE Platform framework. The aim is to select multiple operational services (Technology Readiness Level of 9) to integrate the DestinE Platform and provide services (such as Data Access, Data Processing or Data Visualization services). Funding (from 150,000€ to 1,500,000€ per contract) is planned to cover service integration, operations during DestinE Phase 2, and user support to DestinE users. The activity covers the operations of 13 different Lots and is managed between Serco and service providers. The Invitation to Tender (ITT) package (Cover Letter, Special Conditions of Tender, Draft Contract, Letter of Invitation, and requirements documentation including the Statement of Work) will be published on ESA-Star and will provide in detail the participation conditions. In order to access the ITT Package, Tenderers must be registered in esa-star as potential ESA suppliers. Any Tenderer, which is not yet registered with ESA as a potential supplier, must complete the online questionnaire in esa-star, https://esastaremr.sso.esa.int/. Further information on the registration process can be found in ESA’s INDUSTRY PORTAL available at: http://www.esa.int/About_Us/Business_with_ESA/esastar_open_for_business http://www.esa.int/About_Us/Business_with_ESA/How_to_do/esastar_Registration_Process Please note that esa-star allows two levels of entity registration: “Light” and “Full”. This allows new users wishing to do business with ESA to carry out their registration in two steps. While “Light” registration will grant access to all esa-star services up to and including proposal submission, the award of ESA contracts requires “Full” registration. The issue of the Invitation to Tender is foreseen in Q1 2025. This activity is funded under the DestinE initiative (EU-funded programme) and will be open exclusively to economic operators and organisations (including subcontractors) which have their registered office in an EU Member State or a State associated to the Digital Europe Programme in accordance with Articles 10 and 12 of the Digital Regulation. This initiative will support the European Commission to achieve the sustainable development objectives and will contribute to the European Green Deal and Digital Strategy.
