## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is planning a public procurement process titled "UKRI-1249 NQCC WP20 Algorithm Study for NISQ Systems Achieving Quantum Advantage." This process falls under the services category, specifically focusing on feasibility studies and advisory services in the field of quantum computing. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a Supplier Day scheduled for 28th June 2021, where potential suppliers can learn more about the requirements and process. Future notices regarding this procurement are expected by 30th July 2021, and the delivery is anticipated to take place within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the technology and quantum computing sectors, particularly those specialising in algorithm development and feasibility studies. Companies that possess expertise in quantum computing technologies and have the capacity to contribute to the NISQ systems could find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this project could enhance business growth by establishing partnerships with a leading public body and potentially securing further opportunities in the quantum computing industry.

## Notice

The National Quantum Computing Center has an objective to deliver an early-stage quantum computer (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum, NISQ machine) that can outperform conventional computing for a range of tasks, by 2025.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

In order to achieve this medium-term goal, the NQCC has developed a technology roadmap, and has identified a series of technical work packages (WPs) that are suitable for delivery by external contractors. These WPs focus on the delivery of technology solutions according to a set of required technical performance specifications, for both hardware and software, related to quantum computing. The NQCC intends to hold an event to inform potential suppliers of the tendering process and requirements related to WP20 - Algorithm study for NISQ systems achieving quantum advantage. WP20 involves the study of NISQ-relevant algorithm(s) to demonstrate quantum advantage in genuine value-generating task(s). This is where quantum advantage is defined as the ability to outperform a classical computer at specific tasks. Further information will be provided at the event. Additional information: A Supplier Day will be held on the 28th June. Suppliers are to register their interest in joining this event by emailing: their Organisation name, Registered address and Contact information to Elizabeth.Gage@ukri.org
