Framework Contract for the Supply of Geospatial Products for the Copernicus Security Service Component on Support to EU External and Security Actions

Description

The objective of this call for tenders is to award a service framework contract to a single economic operator for the production and supply of geospatial products for the Copernicus Security Service component on Support to EU External and Security Actions (‘the Copernicus SESA Service’). The SatCen, as the manager and coordinator of the Copernicus SESA Service, seeks to acquire services to provide rapid and on-demand geospatial products based on the analysis of satellite imagery and collateral data for the detection and monitoring of events or activities that may have implications for the EU and global security. Such products include, inter alia, layers, maps and databases under different formats. Lot 1: The services sought by the SatCen comprise the following tasks: (i) establishing and maintaining a service, available twelve hours a day (from 8:00 to 20:00 CET), seven days a week, for receiving SatCen’s orders for geospatial products; (ii) activating the production during working hours to generate the products ordered. (iii) delivering the products to the SatCen within the deadlines specified in the orders, via File Transfer Protocol and/or Service Delivery Platform, along with technical and progress reports. The Copernicus SESA Service is an on-demand service by nature. The products will be ordered and the production work will be activated at the SatCen’s request, based on varying users’ needs.
