## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is currently engaged in a procurement process to source a supplier capable of developing algorithms for a 'Sensor Channel Health Check', focused on submarines. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for the purchase of technical services. The tender, which is in the Award stage, was officially signed on 17 March 2022, with a contract value of £1,984,756.40 and a duration of 240 days. Bids were invited from interested parties, and five bids were submitted electronically for consideration, all due to the selective procurement method with restricted eligibility.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in data analysis, machine learning, and software development, particularly those with expertise in noise and vibration data processing. Companies that excel in algorithm development, project management, and technical validation will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Involvement in this project could enhance a business's portfolio, particularly in the defence sector, providing a platform to demonstrate advanced capabilities in developing innovative solutions that meet stringent validation criteria.

## Notice

A supplier has been sought that will have the capability to develop and demonstrate algorithms that can be used for identifying and classifying defective channels so that they can be removed from the data stream prior to processing by other algorithms, as part of a larger data analysis system. The channel data would consist of time-series data from large arrays of sensors capturing noise and vibration data. The algorithms must be suitable for insertion into an open system and where they depend on the use of training data, a strategy for obtaining that data will need to be devised and implemented. A validation and verification strategy will need to be devised and the success of the algorithm(s) in identifying defective channels demonstrated.
