ESA will shortly be issuing an Invitation to Tender for a ‘Support Service for Copernicus Data Quality and the Copernicus Contributing Mission Activity’. The Support Service will provide hands-on coordination of the end-to-end operations of the CCM Activity and Copernicus Data Quality systems, to ensure the success of the activities. The team will carry out the daily monitoring, quality controls and technical interventions required to ensure, under ESA’s overall responsibility, the correct and timely flow of CCM data and information between the various contractors and stakeholders involved, including the Copernicus Services. ESA will host an online information session on 07 April from 10:00 to 12:00 CET, to provide further details about the procurement and the specific tender conditions which will apply.
