This process is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for quotation submissions set for 17:00 on 3rd June 2026. The procurement seeks services in the industry category of analytical or scientific software development. This opportunity is located in the United Kingdom, and the process is open under a below-threshold competition method. The tender is part of a larger project aiming to provide a user-friendly interface for tools developed under the ReSCUE Work Package 3. The contract period is expected to start on 15th June 2026 and end on 29th January 2027, with a project budget of £50,000 gross.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those focused on analytical or scientific applications.
