## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has awarded a contract for the project titled "WP3.5.2 Novel Techniques and Technologies for Incorporating Sensor Data into Digital Twins". The award was granted to Jacobs Clean Energy Limited. The procurement falls under the services category with a focus on innovative solutions for developing sensor data integration and perception techniques. The tender was initiated as an open procedure and had a tender deadline of 29th April 2022. The contract period is from 22nd June 2022 to 30th November 2023, presenting opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the suitability criteria.

This procurement by UKAEA aims to acquire cutting-edge solutions to support operations de-risking using digital twins. Businesses specializing in software development, research and development services, and related consultancy services would find this tender well-suited for their expertise. The project involves the development of de-risking virtual tools and systems that interact with the real world by utilising various sensors to create an accurate digital twin model of the environment. The completion of this project is expected to enhance operational efficiency through advanced sensor data integration and perception techniques.

## Notice

As part of the LongOps project, it is required to develop de-risking virtual tools such as a digital-twin systems linked to a real system interacting directly with the real world. In order to maintain an accurate, up-to-date digital twin, it is necessary to sense the real environment in real-time using a variety of sensors of different types, to compile an accurate combined model of the environment virtually, and to present this information to the operator in the most effective manner. Due to the effects of radiation and other inherent qualities of sensing devices, the data retrieved is expected to be inexact. Characteristics such as noise, reliability, confidence interval, linearity, etc., may affect the estimation of the digital-twin state. UKAEA wishes to procure innovative solutions for the development of novel, cutting-edge sensor data integration and perception techniques to support the de-risking of operations using digital twins.
