Abschnitt II: Gegenstand
DE_371 Machine Learning for Earth system Digital Twins
ECMWF, as one of the Entrusted Entities for the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative, invites Tenders for the purpose of demonstrating that Machine Learning/ Deep Learning (ML/DL) based methodologies can augment DestinE datasets and products from the Weather-induced and geophysical extremes Digital Twins (DT).
On contractor's premises.
Under this Tender, the DT concept shall be enhanced with data-driven models tethered to high resolution simulations to provide synthetic model data. Specifically, machine learning models will generate physically-realistic synthetic ensemble members and provide physically-consistent interpolation in time.
The successful Tenderer will produce new high-impact ML/DL methods and software solutions that can work close to the data generation location of the DTs of DestinE and eventually become integrated in the DTE. The output shall be a well documented software package, covering both training and inference data, trained ML/DL models for achieving the above tasks, and an assessment of product quality with respect to the chosen reference output.
Other activities are further detailed in Volume II of the ITT, including further developments the Tenderer may propose.
ECMWF intends to award a single contract for a maximum period of 24 months, which is expected to commence in September or October 2023.
Tenderers should note that ECMWF will also consider the Total Cost of Ownership beyond the contract period and ultimately make an award decision based on the best interests of the Centre taking value for money into account.

Abschnitt VI: Weitere Angaben
The procurement for the contract will be conducted in accordance with ECMWF's procedures as set out in Invitation to Tender documents, which will be available on ECMWF's eProcurement Portal (http://procurement.ecmwf.int/) and no other procedures will apply. In submitting this notice ECMWF does not waive the privileges and immunities granted to it by virtue of its status as an intergovernmental organisation or submit itself to any jurisdiction. Tenders must be submitted using ECMWF's eProcurement Portal. Hard copy (paper) submissions will not be accepted.
Due to the need to include performance and compliance obligations in the contract, ECMWF will contract only with a single legal person or entity which is competent to undertake and commit to these obligations. ECMWF recognises that some bids will involve a number of organisations which may wish to work together to deliver the contract requirements. In such cases, these organisations must identify a lead contractor who will sign the contract with ECMWF and who will be responsible for putting in place legal arrangements to ensure that it can guarantee that all other organisations will also meet the contract obligations. ECMWF will not enter into multiple contracts with individual members of consortia or groups of service providers.
Eligibility: Refer to Section 3.2 of Volume I of the ITT documents.
