The procurement, classified under the "Computer equipment and supplies" category, is being conducted through an open procedure. The tender, valued at £300,000, has a submission deadline of January 17, 2022, and the contract period is scheduled to commence on March 1, 2022, and conclude on March 1, 2023. The laboratory is set to be located in London, UK, and aims to create an environment that supports both educational tools and strategic partnerships across various industrial applications. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of non-proprietary, scalable, and interoperable hardware components suitable for an IIoT laboratory setting. Companies specialising in computer equipment, sensors, smart devices, and digital technology integrations such as artificial intelligence and machine learning could greatly benefit from participating in this procurement process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the procurement explicitly welcomes their participation, aligning with the government’s drive to foster innovation and collaboration within the tech industry. ## Notice The Digital Catapult is collaborating with leading IoT (The Internet of Things) technology providers to build an environment for experimentation, exploration, and capability development of Industrial IoT (IIoT) technologies. Our objective is to build out a sophisticated IIoT Laboratory environment to facilitate this learning and experimentation, and therefore we are seeking to procure hardware for the facility.The laboratory environment is part of a broader Industrial IoT enablement Platform programme to encourage and simplify technology adoption; and therefore, the Laboratory will support the following broader Platform objectives:1.A digital platform on which programmes can be run and tested.2.A digital platform on which developer and industry users can access educational tools and material.3.A digital platform on which developer and industry users can interact and form partnerships as well as share insight and learnings.When constructed, the Laboratory facility will be representative of a real-world industrial manufacturing production line with operational technology (OT) connected to sensors, smart devices, connectivity and IIoT applications. This OT space will be integrated with digital cross technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence, machine learning, mixed reality, distributed ledger technologies) to provide a true end-to-end IoT experience. The physical, and digital technology integration will enable experimentation and demonstration of IIoT applications and use cases such as inventory management; asset health monitoring; predictive maintenance; remote servicing; energy management; and edge computing.The users and uses of the Platform and the laboratory facilities will range from early stage researchers to commercial adopters, both on premise and remotely. Furthermore, the laboratory equipment will also serve the additional purpose to validate the components and capabilities of the IIoT enablement Platform. Some aspects of the laboratory may also be used in a mobile environment to demonstrate and showcase IIoT at events and roadshows. The procurement BoM (Bill of Materials) is selected to serve these specific purposes and will therefore need to be of a non-proprietary, integrable, scalable and interoperable nature. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34ea50c4-07e5-4386-9c1e-87871152c592 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2022 - 1 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | 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 | DIGITAL CATAPULT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 2RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ### Codes - 30200000 - Computer equipment and supplies ## Release History - 17 Dec 2021 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34ea50c4-07e5-4386-9c1e-87871152c592 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34ea50c4-07e5-4386-9c1e-87871152c592 17th December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC163370 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.digicatapult.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
