## Summary

The University of Nottingham is currently procuring services for the 'Digital Research - Discovery Programme: Process Automation - Computer Vision' project, with a budget of £75,000. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 3rd April 2020. The project falls under the services industry, specifically focusing on image-processing software development. The delivery is expected to take place in Nottingham, East Midlands, UK, with the contract commencing on 23rd April 2020 and concluding by 30th November 2020.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with expertise in image-processing and machine learning technologies. Companies that can develop secure web-based solutions and utilise Microsoft cognitive services or equivalent APIs would be well-positioned to compete. As this procurement seeks an Agile supplier, firms that are adaptable and innovative in their approach to technology development may find substantial potential for growth through this contract.

## Notice

As part of a wider overarching 'Discovery Programme', the UoN will engage an Agile supplier to develop a web-based solution that harnesses Microsoft's custom vision cognitive service or a comparable, machine-learning API. The solution will be a secure, web-based GUI interface that allows users to upload image files and create training sets in order to automatically identify features or anomalies in other, similar image data. The solution will be developed using open standards and protocols, such that once the product is transferred over to the UoN at the end of the contract, other suppliers could, if needed, further develop the solution without recourse to yourselves.
