INSPIRE technical development: call for tender

Dear colleagues,

 

This is to inform you that the Commission has started a tender procedure for the technical support to the development of implementing rules and technical guidelines (IES/H/2009/241622/AMI-CEI). The aim of this procedure is to draw up a list of candidates who meet the criteria in the call. This list can than be used for subsequent contracts for service provision to assist the Commission in the context of the Inspire Directive 2007/2/EC and related implementing rules and technical guidelines.

 

The call is published at http://web.jrc.ec.europa.eu/callsfortender/index.cfm?action=app.tender&id=458&institute=5

 

Service providers may be required to support the Inspire data specifications development process by editing the unified modelling language (UML) models and data specifications of the Annex I, II and III data themes, conduct data user requirements and use case studies, compile, and develop and document technical guidance and examples of use for Inspire data specifications. They may also be required to support the specification development and implementation of network services and the Inspire geo-portal by conducting studies on architecture, spatial data services, services invocation, services interoperability, services harmonisation, and registries, and by developing related support software (web-based or not).

 

All relevant documentation about Inspire can be found at http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/.

Cordially,

 

Paul Smits
