The Sentinels Rolling Archive provides open and free access to the latest Sentinel data products. The Sentinels Rolling Archive products user-access, operations, maintenance and evolutions€ Invitation to Tender (ITT) intends to ensure a continuity of the current rolling archive service without impact to the users. The operations of the Rolling Archive shall be performed following a service approach with defined performance indicators, service levels. Evolutions in the service are foreseen to integrate the new Sentinels data, to maintain and evolve the service to manage both an increasing volume of data products and higher demand from an increasinguser base, as well as providing overall improvements in the general service offering including INSPIRE interoperability. the current rolling archive product user access service is facilitated by an open source software called the Data Hub Software (DHuS). The DHuS provides a simple web interface to allow an interactive data discovery and download, and a powerful Application Programming Interface (API) that allows users to access the data via computer programs/scripts thereby automating/integrating the download within their workflow. During the bidding period, the DHuS will be made available to the Bidders for evaluation. The Bidders shall be free to propose potential reuse or alternative/new software solutions, although a strict compatibility with the exposed APIs will be required to ensure no impact to the scripts/workflows already developed by users to download their data. The procurement will favour an Open Source approach for any replacement software.
