Located in Norfolk, East of England, this tender is currently in the planning stage and is set to end on 13 December 2018. The contract period will commence on 14 February 2019 and conclude on 5 April 2019. The procurement method is classified as 'Other,' indicating a unique approach to sourcing for services that focus on developing algorithms for sensor data management and enhancing digital communications infrastructure in the region. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research, technology development, and consultancy services. Companies that possess expertise in innovative algorithm design, project management, and technical report preparation will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Engaging in this project could facilitate growth, as it aims to address critical challenges within the government’s Industrial Strategy and enhance the digital capabilities in the East of England, providing commercial benefits for contractors that can support these initiatives. ## Notice Smart Emerging Technologies Institute (SETI) A key part of SETI will be to design, test and validate new algorithms, methods and tools to cope with novel sensor designs and vast amounts of real-time data and to design new protocols for edge-computing and network management that provide for more efficient and secure networks that operate over fixed and wireless infrastructure. As well as creating a unique and potentially the fastest research and innovation testbed in Europe, SETI will also undertake to work with other agencies of government and industry to highlight where interventions are required to provide the availability of adequate digital communications infrastructure in the East of England region (in particular Norfolk and Suffolk). SETI is intended to work collaboratively to generate knowledge of societal and commercial benefit.
