    ECMWF as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for services related to operational service provision. Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) aims to provide information to support the development of a climate resilient society. Through the Sectoral Information System (SIS), C3S has already 7 Proof of Concept elements (POCs) under development, addressing the needs of sectoral users in water, energy, insurance, agriculture and urban-management sectors in Europe. It is expected that building upon the experience gained from the POCs, a new set of operational services will be developed and delivered to address the sectors that are not served by the existing contracts.
    Lot 2 aims to develop a set of services demonstrators based on the Climate Data Store (CDS) and able to provide relevant climate information to users operating at regional scale in Europe or in other regions of European interest. In particular, we are looking for services addressing the needs of one or more of the following sectors: transport, tourism, coastal areas, marine and fisheries, health and biodiversity. The service will build upon the experience acquired during the preparation of the proof of concept demonstrators that are being developed as part of the SIS. The services will rely upon and act as demonstrators of the functionalities of the CDS and thus will need to be put together solely using the tools and datasets available on the CDS and be designed fully compatible and interoperable with them.
