A corrigendum to the Draft Framework Contract and the Technical Specifications (Appendix A to Annex I) has been published 

The Copernicus Security Service supports EU policies by providing information in response to Europe’s security challenges. It improves crisis prevention, preparedness and response in three key areas: maritime surveillance, border security and Support to EU External Action (SEA).

The Copernicus SEA Service will assist the EU in its operations and interests outside EU territory, providing decision makers with geo-information on remote, difficult to access areas, where security issues are at stake. It will also assist third countries in situations of crisis or emerging crisis and to prevent global and trans-regional threats having a destabilising effect.

The European Union Satellite Centre (SatCen), as the manager and coordinator of the Copernicus SEA Service, seeks to acquire services and products to provide timely and accurate geospatial information derived from the analysis of satellite imagery and collateral data, in order to assist the EU decision-making processes as regards crisis management and its operations outside EU territory.
