## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is looking to procure innovative solutions for developing sensor data integration techniques to support operations using digital twins. The tender, titled 'WP3.5.2 Novel Techniques and Technologies for Incorporating Sensor Data into Digital Twins', falls within the software package and information systems industry category. The procurement stage is complete, with a contract signed on 3rd August 2022. UKAEA aims to de-risk operations through novel sensor data integration and perception techniques.

This opportunity is suitable for businesses offering industry-specific software packages, industrial control software, image-processing software, and other related services. The main procurement category is goods, and the tender method used was an open procedure. The award criteria consisted of quality (65%), social value (10%), and price (25%). Businesses with expertise in software development, training, and integration consultancy services would be well-suited to compete for this innovative procurement opportunity.

## Notice

As part of the LongOps project, it is required to develop de-risking virtual tools such as a digital-twin systems linked to a real system interacting directly with the real world. In order to maintain an accurate, up-to-date digital twin, it is necessary to sense the real environment in real-time using a variety of sensors of different types, to compile an accurate combined model of the environment virtually, and to present this information to the operator in the most effective manner. Due to the effects of radiation and other inherent qualities of sensing devices, the data retrieved is expected to be inexact. Characteristics such as noise, reliability, confidence interval, linearity, etc., may affect the estimation of the digital-twin state. UKAEA wishes to procure innovative solutions for the development of novel, cutting-edge sensor data integration and perception techniques to support the de-risking of operations using digital twins.
