This tender falls under the category of software package and information systems, with a specific focus on industry-specific software related to machine learning. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 29th April 2022. The contract period will commence on 1st June 2022 and run until 31st August 2023, aiming for the collection and annotation of data relevant to nuclear facilities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in software development, particularly those specialising in machine learning, image-processing, and data annotation services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project focuses on innovations in decision support tools and algorithms that enhance safety in decommissioning tasks. Businesses with expertise in relevant technologies and data management are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for growth and collaboration within the nuclear industry. ## 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/789e924e-74cd-43eb-820e-d97ded437bc1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2022 - 31 Aug 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | 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 | ## 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 - 18 Mar 2022 at 14:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/789e924e-74cd-43eb-820e-d97ded437bc1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/789e924e-74cd-43eb-820e-d97ded437bc1 18th March 2022 - Opportunity 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.
