The current stage is planning, and DSIT will host a pre-market engagement event on 30th October 2024 from 9:00-11:00 via Microsoft Teams. The overarching requirement involves developing detailed road maps to support the design and delivery of various National Quantum Strategy Missions. Key dates to note include the event date and the future notice date on 13th January 2025. The procurement process will cover different UK locations and falls under the CPV code 73000000. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in quantum technology, research, and consultancy. The scope involves multiple lots with specific focuses such as quantum networking, healthcare quantum sensing, quantum position, navigation and timing, and quantum sensing for critical national infrastructure, making it suitable for companies with expertise in these areas. Businesses possessing commercial and technical knowledge in these fields are well-positioned to compete and contribute to the development of advanced quantum technology solutions. Successful bidders will influence critical technology developments and gain visibility in a prominent industry sector facilitated by a national governmental authority. ## Notice The Department for Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) would like individuals or organisations with commercial and technical knowledge of the quantum technology sector to develop detailed road maps to support the design and delivery of the each of the National Quantum Strategy Mission. ### Lot Information Mission 2 In March 2023, the government published the National Quantum Strategy, where it committed to publishing long-term quantum missions to galvanise technology development towards ambitious outcomes. The 5 Quantum Missions were published in November last year. The Department for Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) would like individuals or organisations with commercial and technical knowledge of the quantum technology sector to develop detailed road maps to support the design and delivery of the each Quantum Mission. Road maps for each Mission will be contracted out separately through individual lots given the specialist expertise required to deliver each one (ranging from quantum networking infrastructure to medical technology adoption pathways). Road mapping activity for Mission 1 on quantum computing is not in scope. Alongside common evidence requirements for all lots (technology development timelines and underpinning requirements for priority use cases), there are specific requirements for each. These are detailed below but will be refined throughout the pre-market engagement process and with the successful bidder(s): Lot 1: Quantum networking (Mission 2): technology and research milestones to materialise quantum networks, analysis of competing quantum networking components, underpinning classical infrastructure requirements Mission 3 In March 2023, the government published the National Quantum Strategy, where it committed to publishing long-term quantum missions to galvanise technology development towards ambitious outcomes.
