The procurement involves the collection, evaluation, processing, and annotation of data from nuclear-related sites. The tender, titled "WP3.5.1 - Development of Datasets for Machine Learning - LongOps," falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 29th April 2022 and the contract period spanning from 1st June 2022 to 31st August 2023. This procurement opportunity by UKAEA could benefit businesses involved in software development, industrial control systems, image-processing software, and other related IT services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector (VCSE) organisations are suitable for this opportunity. Businesses interested in providing analytical or scientific software development services, communication software development services, or real-time operating system software development services would find this tender well-suited for their expertise. ## Notice As part of the LongOps project, it is required to develop decision support tools capable of helping de-risking operations and supporting training in teleoperated decommissioning tasks involving the detection and pose estimation of objects and debris within nuclear facilities. In recent years the use of Machine Learning (ML) techniques such as object detection, object classification, segmentation, semantic information extraction from images and videos, denoising, etc. has yielded important results in terms of visual and other sensory perception. However, this requires significant volumes of relevant, high-quality annotated data to achieve adequate levels of performance. UKAEA wishes to procure the collection, evaluation, processing, and annotation of data gathered from nuclear-related sites and/or similar scenarios. Such data consists primarily of 2D images and 3D point clouds, although other types of data such as temperature, radiation, pressure, etc. may also be considered. The annotated data will then be used to, but not limited to, train machine learning models to perform tasks such as, object detection and classification, semantic and instance segmentation, etc. In addition, this data will be used to develop, evaluate, and validate change detection and anomaly estimation algorithms. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09576c74-3227-448c-8635-6837cdada4e2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Aug 2022 | | Contract period | 8 Aug 2022 - 25 Apr 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £254,958 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | JACOBS CLEAN ENERGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 48150000 - Industrial control software package - 48328000 - Image-processing software package - 48461000 - Analytical or scientific software package - 48518000 - Emulation software package - 48627000 - Real-time operating system software package - 48900000 - Miscellaneous software package and computer systems - 48931000 - Training software package - 48960000 - Drivers and system software package - 48983000 - Development software package - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72212000 - Programming services of application software - 72212100 - Industry specific software development services - 72212150 - Industrial control software development services - 72212328 - Image-processing software development services - 72212461 - Analytical or scientific software development services - 72212510 - Communication software development services - 72212517 - IT software development services - 72212518 - Emulation software development services - 72212670 - Real time operating system software development services - 72212700 - Software development services utilities - 72212900 - Miscellaneous software development services and computer systems - 72227000 - Software integration consultancy services - 72230000 - Custom software development services - 72260000 - Software-related services - 72262000 - Software development services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 15 Aug 2022 at 14:04 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09576c74-3227-448c-8635-6837cdada4e2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09576c74-3227-448c-8635-6837cdada4e2 15th August 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=44924&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
