This invitation to tender (ITT) focuses on various aspects of quantum technology across four specific lots. The procurement, classified under research and development services, involves locations ranging from British Overseas Territories to the United Kingdom. The tender stage is currently active, with bids expected to be submitted by 9 December 2024 and contract execution commencing from 20 January 2025 through to 31 July 2025. The procurement method is open, with an overall contract value ranging from £240,000 to £400,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in quantum technology, research, and development. Enterprises with expertise in technology milestones, healthcare quantum solutions, PNT technologies, or critical national infrastructure sensing are well-suited to apply. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, allowing smaller firms to secure pivotal roles in the elaboration of national quantum strategies. The creation of these roadmaps will enable businesses to influence policy development, enhance innovation programmes, and gain a foothold in the growing quantum technology sector. ## Notice Introduction and summary of requirements We 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 National Quantum Strategy Missions. The focus of each road map will vary based on the characteristics of each Mission, as well as current evidence gaps that need addressing to inform policy development. The breadth and depth of specialist expertise required to deliver the road maps is substantial, spanning technical milestones for quantum entanglement networks to the identification of clinical use cases for quantum sensors. This opportunity has therefore been broken down into four separate lots to allow individuals or organisations with specific expertise relevant to individual Missions to participate. Aims and Objectives This project will gather evidence to help DSIT understand the key commercial opportunities, technology requirements and milestones, and dependencies for each Mission. This evidence will inform ongoing policy development and help shape policy interventions such as technology-specific innovation programmes, infrastructure investments and market creation activity to support overall Mission delivery. 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 outlined below: Lot A: Quantum networking (Mission 2): technology and research milestones to materialise quantum networks, analysis of competing quantum networking components, underpinning classical infrastructure requirements Lot B: Quantum sensing for healthcare (Mission 3): high potential clinical use case identification, mapping of necessary activity through the NHS HealthTech adoption framework Lot C: 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 D: 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 ITT can be found on DSIT's e-procurement portal, Jaggaer, under live opportunities. https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/ ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1a5b405-9df5-4c0e-a4da-293969433080 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2025 - 31 Jul 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DSIT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 8 Nov 2024 at 12:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1a5b405-9df5-4c0e-a4da-293969433080 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1a5b405-9df5-4c0e-a4da-293969433080 8th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/ - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-science-innovation-and-technology ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
