## Summary

The procurement process for the "Deep Digital Cornwall - Visualisation Suite" project was conducted by the University of Exeter in the South West region of England. This initiative falls under the goods category, specifically related to Computer-aided Design (CAD) systems. The tender period concluded on 30 March 2021, with the contract awarded to Virtalis Ltd on 31 March 2021. The contract, valued at £108,330.54, commenced on 1 April 2021 and is set to continue until 30 September 2023. The open procurement method was employed for this process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in advanced technology and software solutions. Companies with capabilities in 3D visualisation, geospatial data analysis, or similar technological applications would be well-suited to compete in future tenders related to such innovative projects. Engaging with the University of Exeter, a leading educational institution, can enhance a company's portfolio and visibility in the public sector.

## Notice

One of the key components of the Deep Digital Cornwall project will be a visualisation suite which will enable researchers and businesses to dynamically explore the geographic and geologic structure of Cornwall both above and below surface. The system must be able to display three dimensional rendered scenes to multiple participants (small groups of individuals) and enable them to all view and interact with the data displayed. For example, a standard use case of the system would be the ability to display the topographic aerial view of Cornwall and then focus on an area of potential interest.
