This procurement is in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 25th January 2022. The procurement, valued at £600,000, aims to develop an innovative digital mock-up system that aggregates various software components for improved integration and adoption of digital mock-up tools. The procurement is located in Abingdon, UK, and will be conducted through a selective method as part of an innovation partnership. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with expertise in robotics, systems engineering, and IT consulting. Companies capable of delivering custom software solutions and demonstrating innovative integration techniques will be well-positioned to compete. Moreover, this contract's focus on a modular platform means that suppliers with experience in developing adaptable and extendable software systems could find a strong fit for this project, aiding UKAEA in achieving its progressive technology goals. ## Notice With rapidly advancing capability emerging from the field of robotic technology and systems engineering, UKAEA are seeking services to deliver innovation around a Next Generation Digital Mock-Up (NG-DMU). This would result in a platform that is essentially an aggregation of selected black-box software components that can be replaced or extended with minimal development effort, ultimately aiding the adoption of DMU tools by end-users. The high-level outcomes of this task are: * design techniques for architecting a DMU system that enabled rapid integration of new innovations, * a proof-of-principle demonstration of these techniques by integrating software tools into a cohesive DMU, * a core platform for demonstrating relevant innovations from throughout the LongOps programme, regarding LongOps end-user scenarios. ### Lot Information Lot 1 With rapidly advancing capability emerging from the field of robotic technology and systems engineering, UKAEA are seeking services to deliver innovation around a Next Generation Digital Mock-Up (NG-DMU).
