II.1.4) Short description
This invitation to tender (ITT) aimed at demonstrating the full potential of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) infrastructure, including the diverse set of datasets in the Climate Data Store (CDS) catalogue and the CDS toolbox, by setting up and demonstrating downstream applications, using 1 or more of the C3S products as input. This contracts would facilitate the creation of indicators, tools and visualisations that do not necessarily have a sustainable business case, but are excellent communication tools and will show-case the CDS and, hence, increase uptake.
This contract award notice lists the contractors for Round 2 of the ITT.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The contractor for contract No ECMWF/COPERNICUS/2019/C3S_429d_CMCC will develop an application that will allow end-users to gather and visualize information about soil loss due to water erosion for point/areas of interest (i.e. regions, watersheds, agricultural districts, forested hillslopes), accounting also for climate change projections. User-tailored CDS toolbox widgets will be devised and integrated in the web interface to produce maps/plot/graphs. These operations will be helped by some attractive and communicative artistic elements.
The contractor for contract No ECMWF/COPERNICUS/2019/C3S_429e_HRW bidder proposed an approach designed to showcase the benefits of C3S data in water resource planning. There is no water resources outlook available to water companies or regulators, and this tool provides an opportunity to introduce water companies to some of the datasets in the CDS catalogue or CDS Toolbox. The gap that this demonstration will bridge is linking water resources drought planning to meteorological forecasting using language, metrics, and visualisations that are directly translatable to the format used by relevant decision makers.
