This call for tenders concerns the procurement for the purchase of software and supporting services to enable the current two MSS' environments to be replaced.
The scope of this tender is to procure metrological message switching system software, with configuration, support, maintenance and technical assistance, for message switching of observation data and bulletins from various sources to various sinks. DMI MSS will switch weather messages for the kingdom of Denmark (Denmark, Greenland and Faroe Island) and international messages.
The meteorological message switching service will fulfil three main roles:
I) To act as a node on the WMO Global Telecommunications System (GTS); this enables the DMI to exchange observational data and products with other countries around the world.
II) To act as the central data switch within Denmark; this enables data to be received and be distributed to a number of production systems, at both headquarters and outstations (HQ).
III) To act as the delivery system for WMO messages; this enables the DMI to distribute data to a variety of external organisations.
2 in-depended high availability MSS-environments are required with technical equal environment configurations, environment HQ and environment Auxiliary (AUX).
Each of the environments are configured in fail-over setup for respectively network, hardware, databases and software. The environments do not share physical network and hardware.
Each environment will operate independently and shall be able to perform fail-over within each environment.
The delivery includes the possibility for installing and running development, testing and staging the MMS environments for both HQ and AUX.
The MMS architecture will support a set of common communication protocol and data format. Hardware/network appliances and configuration hereof, are not procured as part of this tender.
The Tenderers establishment of the system and environments, documentation and training, will be in tight coordination and collaboration with DMI-staff.
The new and existing MSS will, in a time period, continue to run simultaneously. DMI wish to integrate DMI specific format in the new MSS, and some consultant hours will be expected to implement handling of these formats.
