This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, by participating in the advancement of common technological capabilities within critical national infrastructure. Businesses specialising in telecoms, utilities, transport, energy, and defence sectors can leverage this project to gain substantial experience and exposure in these high-value and high-impact areas. The focus on accelerating private investment to support adoption and exploiting new technological capabilities will provide an excellent platform for suitable businesses to expand their portfolios and market reach, both domestically and internationally.

## Notice

This mission focuses on enhancing the capacity and resilience of critical national infrastructure, with significant benefits in cost reduction and supporting Net Zero ambitions. It addresses a core challenge across quantum sensing capabilities, where individual sectors and businesses see the bridge to exploitation and adoption into existing systems as too high risk to fund alone. This mission will therefore focus on accelerating the development of common technological capabilities to catalyse the private investment needed to pull through to adoption. By the end of the mission, key sectors will have deployed these new capabilities in industrial settings, with further exploitation opportunities around the world being realised. While the definition of critical national infrastructure is broad, the sectors of focus for this mission are telecoms and utilities, transport, energy, and defence.
