2.1 Procedure

Title : Acquisition, Development, Hosting and Support of the EuroHPC JU Access Calls Peer-Review platform

Description : EuroHPC JU implements an international peer-review process for the distribution of the Union’s share on the access time to EuroHPC Supercomputers (hereinafter, “Peer-Review Process”). This is a process that ensures open, fair, and unbiased access to EuroHPC Supercomputers. EuroHPC has relied until now on the peer-review platform that has been developed and maintained by the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (hereinafter, ‘PRACE’). Currently the portal hosts all data regarding EuroHPC’s Access calls during the past two years. As this platform has been developed to support the specific peer-review process implemented by PRACE, EuroHPC wishes to procure and evolve its own private platform, tailor-made for the requirements, the specific processes and peer-review workflows implemented for the Joint Undertaking. In particular, within this procurement EuroHPC wishes to: - Procure the license of an existing, operational peer-review platform software. - Deploy an instance of the platform to be operationally supported by the contractor for the period of the procurement contract. - Migrate data from the existing PRACE portal to the new instance, ensuring service continuation and undisrupted execution of the peer-review processes. - Evolve the platform code to match its functionality with the requirements of the EuroHPC processes especially in regards to new requirements stemming from HPC applications domains like Generative AI, Machine Learning etc. - Procure the necessary services for hosting and operational support of the service. - Ensure support and maintenance services based on specific SLAs that will ensure quick resolution of operational issues, bug fixes and implementation of new features, following the evolution of the EuroHPC peer-review processes as defined in the current and future versions of the Access Policy. EuroHPC is seeking establish the service for at least a period of 3 years, due to the importance of the peer-review process and the complexity to migrate and operate a completely new platform. EuroHPC would like to keep the possibility of renewing the contract two times, yearly, for a maximum duration of 5 years, in case the JU considers the services provided satisfactory.
