The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 20th March 2017. This project aims to develop a biosurveillance system capable of fusing data from military and civilian sources, and is located in Salisbury, South West, United Kingdom. The contract duration is from 1st June 2017 to 31st May 2019, with a total estimated value of £113,000 and a minimum value of £10,000, using a selective procurement method under the restricted procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT, data analysis, and biological research, particularly those with capabilities in developing software prototypes and situational awareness systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may provide innovative solutions tailored to this project. Companies that can harness data fusion technology and document their processes in line with Technical Readiness Level 3 will find this opportunity particularly relevant to their offerings.

## Notice

Research towards a biosurveillance (BSV) system, is required by MoD. It will aim to provide early warning, situational awareness and forecasting of disease activity in an operational context. Outbreaks may be caused by naturally occurring infections, accidental contamination or deliberate biological attacks. A BSV capability will need to fuse data from disparate military and civilian sources, to provide decision-makers with a comprehensive daily picture of disease activity within an Area of Interest (AOI). The aim of this work is to further develop and demonstrate a working prototype BSV data fusion method, utilising simulated data based on currently available data sources, and provide Open Source code for the data fusion with documentation commensurate with Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 3.
