This ITT is primarily intended to address the ways in which commercial satellite data providers can interface with the EODH and its users effectively by bringing some key data providers into the EODH programme.

For this ITT, bidders will only need to provide quality descriptions for commercial data sets that they will provide. Finally, bidders should indicate their willingness for their data to be included in data quality exercises such as assessments of calibration quality, e.g., as undertaken in the European Space Agency Third Party Missions assessments.
