## Summary

The University of Bristol is currently seeking tenders for the "Bristol Urban Observatory/Data and Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (DAFNI) Visualisation Facility". This public procurement falls under the goods category and is classified mainly as "Apparatus and equipment designed for demonstrational purposes" and "Computer audit consultancy and hardware consultancy services". The tender is open for submission until 4th June 2021, with the contract set to commence on 28th June 2021 and last until 27th June 2022. The location for delivery is within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in technology, data analysis, and consultancy, to engage with key stakeholders in urban infrastructure and city management. Companies offering versatile visualisation solutions or analytics platforms would be well-suited to compete, as the aim is to create a facility that enables effective engagement and understanding of large datasets among stakeholders. SMEs are particularly encouraged to apply, fostering growth and innovation within the sector.

## Notice

The Bristol Urban Observatory is part of the UK Collaboratorium for Research in Infrastructure and Cities (https://www.ukcric.com/) and forms part of the national Urban Observatory set up as part of this programme (https://urbanobservatory.ac.uk/). Both the Urban Observatory and UKCRIC are in the process of developing large datasets which can be used to improve the understanding of problems related to cities and infrastructure. If these datasets are to have value then they need to be readily accessible for both scrutiny and analysis. As such the Data Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (https://dafni.ac.uk/) is a further part of this programme to act as both a repository for these data and also to provide a platform for analysis of this, and other, datasets. Outreach work to provide this data to stakeholders who influence decisions in how cities and infrastructure operate is vital. To do this we are seeking to obtain a versatile visualisation facility which can be taken out to key stakeholders to encourage engagement.
