## Summary

The NHS England is seeking proposals for the development of a concept design for a Digital Twin. This opportunity falls under the health services category and involves creating a virtual representation of an object or system related to net zero carbon buildings. The procurement stage is currently at the tender period, with a deadline for submissions by August 22, 2022. The contract period is scheduled to start on September 12, 2022, and end on October 17, 2022.

This tender provides an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organizations (VCSEs) to participate in the creation of a digital twin for an NHS hospital site. Businesses involved in developing digital solutions and carbon reduction interventions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The open procurement method encourages transparency and fair competition among interested suppliers to deliver innovative solutions in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or a system. In the context of net zero carbon buildings, a building digital twin can be used to optimise existing building systems (such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning), as well as testing the impact of carbon reducing interventions such as additional thermal insulation. The proposed commissioned digital twin of an NHS hospital site will act as a proof of concept/value. The chosen site will attempt to be representative of the wider estate by having a mix of building archetype and condition. The chosen supplier will both build the digital twin, and offer a range of proposed simulated carbon reducing interventions.
