Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has initiated an early engagement process titled "Early Engagement Notice Quantum Technology Missions Roadmapping." This process is in the planning stage and aims to develop detailed roadmaps for various quantum technology missions. The procurement is classified under the industry category "Research and development services and related consultancy services" (CPV 73000000). The engagement end date is set for 2nd December 2024, with a pre-market engagement event scheduled for 30th October 2024 from 9:00 to 11:00 via Microsoft Teams. This tender is open to a broad geographic scope, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in quantum technology, especially in developing roadmaps for quantum networking, healthcare, position, navigation and timing (PNT), and critical national infrastructure. Companies specialising in technology development timelines, market analysis, and technical consultancy within the quantum technology sector will find this tender particularly beneficial. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to accommodate their involvement. The roadmap development will involve multiple lots, ensuring that organisations can leverage their niche expertise to contribute to the project's success.

Notice Title

Early Engagement Notice Quantum Technology Missions Roadmapping

Notice Description

In March 2023, the government published the National Quantum Strategy, where it committed to publishing long-term quantum missions to galvanise technology development towards ambitious outcomes. The 5 Quantum Missions were published in December last year. The Department for Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) would like individuals or organisations with commercial and technical knowledge of the quantum technology sector to develop detailed road maps to support the design and delivery of the each Quantum Mission. Road maps for each Mission will be contracted out separately through individual lots given the specialist expertise required to deliver each one (ranging from quantum networking infrastructure to medical technology adoption pathways). Road mapping activity for Mission 1 on quantum computing is not in scope. Alongside common evidence requirements for all lots (technology development timelines and underpinning requirements for priority use cases), there are specific requirements for each. These are detailed below but will be refined throughout the pre-market engagement process and with the successful bidder(s): Lot 1: Quantum networking (Mission 2): technology and research milestones to materialise quantum networks, analysis of competing quantum networking components, underpinning classical infrastructure requirements Lot 2: Quantum sensing for healthcare (Mission 3): high potential clinical use case identification, mapping of necessary activity through the NHS HealthTech adoption framework Lot 3: Quantum position, navigation and timing (PNT) (Mission 4): market size estimates for core sub-component technologies such as compound semiconductors, MEMS vacuum cells, integrated photonics and advanced packaging. Lot 4: Quantum sensing for critical national infrastructure (CNI) (Mission 5): Current and future performance of sensing platforms, market size estimates for use cases such as gravity sensing in different sectors Additional information: The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) will be holding a pre-market engagement event on the 30th of October 2024 at 9:00 - 11:00. In this session we will outline the requirement in more detail and host a Q&A session towards the end of the event. The event will be hosted via Microsoft teams and the joining details are below (PLEASE COPY THE WHOLE URL INTO BROWSER): https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_MjQyN2E5MzItMjRlYS00ODllLTlhZjYtMWVjMjA5MDIzYWM5@thread.v2/0?context={"Tid":"cbac7005-02c1-43eb-b497-e6492d1b2dd8","Oid":"6d0c5f80-5434-4c16-8069-689a7e3f0934"} Meeting ID: 383 323 476 512 Passcode: hL2xLE
