## Notice

The Connected Places Catapult (CPC) is working together with National Digital Twin Programme, Anglian Water, UK Power Networks and BT to develop a demonstrator Digital Twin of critical infrastructure across the water, energy and telecoms sectors. The Digital Twin will showcase how combining data and insights across sectoral and organisational boundaries will increase resilience to extreme weather events, through improved coordination of operational and investment decisions. Our ambition is for the Digital Twin (or a reasonably late-stage prototype) to be demonstrated at COP26 in November 2021; at the latest, the demonstrator will be ready for dissemination by the end of 2021. As part of this work, the CPC is seeking a supplier to assist with delivering the data engineering that underpins this Digital Twin. This will include data engineering, with data scientists and modellers as users, and descriptive data visualisation - showcasing the fusing of disparate datasets and computer models to paint a picture of multiple infrastructure systems in one place Additional information: Please register at link below if not already registered and Express an Interest on this project to download the Tender Documents: https://procontract.due-north.com/Register
