This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to research and scientific technical simulators. The tender is currently active and will close on 8 December 2021. The contract is set to commence on 3 February 2022, with an end date of 2 January 2032. This opportunity is being advertised through an open procedure that exceeds threshold limits, with the delivery of the equipment to be based in Manchester, UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for technology firms, particularly those specialising in educational equipment and software for engineering disciplines. Businesses with expertise in integrated control systems, digital twin simulation software, and educational tools in control systems theory are ideally positioned to compete. Such investments not only support educational initiatives but also help businesses expand their portfolio in the academic sector, fostering growth and innovation. ## Notice The University wishes to appoint a Contractor as The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Manchester requires high standard integrated control systems equipment and digital twin software to be used for teaching and research in the area of control systems including but not limited to continuous and discrete-time PID control, state space, system identification, multivariable control (multiple-input, multiple-output system control), model predictive control, nonlinear control, optimal control, robust control and reinforcement control. The control systems equipment must be an integrated hardware system suitable for both classical and advanced control education and research. The digital twin software for the control systems equipment and other multiple virtual digital twin software for different control systems benchmark problems are required to allow the students and researchers to design controllers and analyse control systems performance in a software simulation environment; the equipment will be located at The University of Manchester.
