Smart Shipping is defined in the following way: For this research we are defining smart shipping as the increasing reliance on new technologies across the entire maritime sector. This includes but is not limited to technologies such as robotics/autonomous systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, sensors, advanced materials, telecommunications which can all be used in the maritime sector to deliver increased efficiency, safety or other benefits. This research should consider principally these technologies when used in the maritime sector and not their use in other sectors. However, there is a secondary interest in the potential spillovers, both within the maritime supply-chain and to other other sectors, which is covered in the Scope of Requirement. This research should build upon the evidence base for Maritime 2050 and the TIUK Maritime Roadmap. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN389125 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1QE | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 25 Jun 2020 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN389125 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN389125 Consultancy Research into the UK Maritime Technology Sector - The University aims to secure a single supplier to undertake economic research that will inform the Department for Transport's (DfT) approach to supporting the smart shipping sector in the UK. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000624082 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=1361 - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/esop/pts-host/public/pts/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
