Service Framework Contract for the provision of “DEFENCE ENERGY MANAGERS’ COURSE II (DEMC II)”-The objective of this framework contract is to provide the Member States contributing to the DEMC II Project Arrangement with a developmental educational service specific to the Defence sector and with hands-on application/implementation to specific military sites. The Defence Energy Managers’ Course will increase knowledge and improve energy management in defence, resulting in benefits in terms of energy consumption, cost, and CO2 emission reductions. It should also contribute to reducing exposure to volatile energy prices, improving security of supply, increase operational capabilities, and reduce risk associated with energy supply in the armed forces. Within the Course, an average of two Trainings per year for a period of four years will be delivered. Each of the training editions is, for the purpose of the contract, called a “Training”. For the purpose of these tender specifications, the Defence Sector relates to both Ministries of Defence and Armed Forces and applies to fixed infrastructure, operational environments and military platforms and systems. The aim of the DEMC II Trainings is to enhance participant’s understanding of the complexities of managing energy within an organisation or sub-organisation and illustrate how to structure an effective energy management system and programme. Participants will learn how to systematically, incrementally and continuously improve their organisation’s energy performance each year through effective through-life management, planning, design, procurement, dual-use research, monitoring and measurement. The course will aim to establish a pool of experts, trained to a common standard. Through attendance of the agreed DEMC II Trainings, the participants will be trained to the required technical standard to deliver practical, cost-effective solutions and, uniquely, will benefit from case-specific mentoring support to their first project delivered within the context of their normal work activities. After the Training, they should have sufficient knowledge to further develop their skills in a continuous cycle of self-improvement through on- going mentoring, with permanent access to its established on-line resources.-WERT: 507 500,00 EUR

Klayout DRC implementation and optimization-Tender: Klayout DRC implementation and optimization Introduction: IHP GmbH is developing an openPDK for SiGe BiCMOS technology SG13G2 to improve access to this technology. The aim is to promote the training of chip designers in Germany and Europe as a key focus. For analog IC design layout tool KLayout is used. DRC features need to be established for this tool. IHP want to outsource a part of this work. Current Status: - DRC Rule Deck: Most of DRC rules are implemented with a semiautomated approach. 216 DRC rules are not implemented yet. Regularly maintained and currently up to date. - Critical Rules: 91 critical rules are implemented but runtime is slow. A manual DRC implementation has the potential to reduce run time by a factor of 2. - Quality assurance (QA) cells: Layer QA cells and device QA cells to verify DRC implementation are available Scope of Requirement: IHP seeks qualified suppliers to implement missing DRC rules and optimise 91 critical rules. List of rules is provided in an extra Excel sheet. Rule documentation can be found in IHP open PDK https://githucom/IHP-GmbH/IHP-Open-PDK. Qualifications Request for Potential Suppliers: Suppliers must demonstrate: 1. Expertise in Verification Tools: Extensive experience with KLayout and implementing DRC rule decks. 2. Technical Proficiency: A solid history of maintaining, debugging, and enhancing rule decks, with examples of previous similar projects. 3. Resource Availability: Commitment of at least 400 hours within 4 month period to fulfil IHP project requirements. 4. Collaborative Capability: Proven ability to work effectively with semiconductor project teams to meet specific verification needs. 5. Quality Assurance: A robust process to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and completeness of rule decks. Submission of Quotation: Qualified suppliers are invited to submit their proposals, which should include details of their experience, approach to the project, and how they meet the above qualifications. Proposals should also provide a possible timeline to achieve the goal within 4 month after project start.

Open Market Consultation (OMC) for a future Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) of R&D (research and development) services on the climate adaptation domain using space and EO (Earth Observation)-based information to prevent and mitigate water related crisis challenges to increase climate resilience in Europe – PCP WISE-This Prior Information Notice announces an OMC and provides early information in preparation for a future PCP carried out by the PCP WISE project (Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions for Water Management from Space). This project receives funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement number No. 101182917 and selected under the HORIZON- CL6-2024-GOVERNANCE-01-5, topic: Customisation/pre-operationalisation of prototypes end- user services in the area Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (see EU Funding & Tenders Portal - https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen /opportunities/topic-details/horizon-cl6-2024-governance-01-5), with a budget of €12 million earmarked for the R&D phases during the implementation of the PCP instrument. However, the European Union does not participate as a contracting authority in the procurement. PCP WISE aims to challenge the market to develop innovative solutions (up to TRL8) to improve water management, particularly in the fields of agriculture, urban climate resilience and planning, climate risk management and resilience to water-related natural disasters, using satellite based earth observation data, hydrological models, field data and artificial intelligence in order to provide intelligence on rural and urban soil-water-vegetation-system-conditions and related risks per sector. By leveraging space technology and environmental observation data, PCP WISE seeks to address critical challenges related to floods, fires, and infrastructure impacts both in rural and urban areas. This collaborative effort brings together public buyers, research institutions, and industry experts to create and implement advanced climate services that will enhance Europe's ability to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. Therefore, it marks the start of an ambitious international collaboration dedicated to the sustainable management of water resources and the need to enlarge climate resilience across Europe. PCP WISE focuses on five distinct use cases, each addressing specific water-related challenges in different regions of Europe (North, South, West, and East) and geographical contexts (urban and rural) on flood, drought, subsidence, fire, or other concerns distinguishing between issues of a regular nature and those arising from crisis situations. For more information about the use cases, please see the OMC document. COMMUNICATION: Additional information can be obtained from the PCP WISE website* (PCP WISE: Pre- Commercial Procurement - Water management Innovation from Space for European climate resilience - https://pcp-wise.eu/open-market-consultation/) and/or the e-Procurement Platform** ( https://pcp-wise.tuttogare.it/index.php ). All the questions regarding the Open Market Consultation (OMC) should be asked through the PCP WISE OMC-Module in the aforementioned e-Procurement Platform. In the case of other issues (e.g. technical issues with the platform), the e-mail address of the Lead Procurer (see contact point) can be used. *The project’s official website will indicatively include information about the project, its Consortium, relevant news and events, matchmaking & networking opportunities, the PCP WISE’s Community Platform, the project’s social media and communication outputs as well as the OMC Documents.-The questionnaire should be filled out online and submitted via the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/PCP-WISE- WERT: 12 000 000,00 EUR
