|
| 9. | Environmental and data considerations:
Data considerations: the EEA promotes the availability and use of
environmental data. Organisations with open data access policies such
as those making available near real time air quality data to EEA are in
focus in this call for expression of interest. Further information on
providing near real-time data to EEA can be obtained from http://eea.eionet.europa.eu/Public/irc/eionet-circle/neighbourhood/library?l=/public_information. Environmental considerations: the EEA runs a certified environmental management system (EMAS) and aims to minimise the environmental impact of all its activities, including those carried out under contract. Candidates or tenderers are, therefore, requested to consider the EEA environmental management guidelines in their work, in particular those relating to business travel, paper and energy consumption. Further information on the EMAS system can be found on the EEA homepage: http://org.eea.europa.eu/documents/emas. Moreover, we strongly recommend the tenderers to submit the tenders in an environmentally friendly way, as following: — only material mentioned in the technical specifications (no additional material), — printed on both sides of paper, — without plastic folders or binders, — with consecutive page numbering and with a list of contents. |
