Description

Lot 1: Tabular and Geospatial Data Processing and Related Support This lot covers both consultancy services to support the Discomap infrastructure (map service platform) but also to design, implement and support the vast number of dataflows operated by EEA. EEA operates around 100 dataflows on which member states are required to report environmental data and information. Dataflows are closely operated in cooperation with the EEA thematic experts and cover air, water, emission, climate, biodiversity, etc. The processing of data is highly automated and for this purpose, several software packages are used. These include FME (Safe), ArcGIS Server/Desktop/Online (Esri), Tableau, Microsoft SQL Server, Python and C#. For certain processing of data, cloud computing (Microsoft Azure) is increasingly used, particularly Azure Data Warehouse, Databricks, blob storage, Azure SQL are part of the EEA infrastructure. Expert support is needed to develop robust and automated IT solutions which can support the complete workflow from harvesting data from ReportNet (https://www.eionet.europa.eu/reportnet), performing quality control, storage in harmonised databases (SQL and geodatabase) and dissemination of data to external users or on the EEA website.
