In plain English
Digital Catapult wants a supplier to help run the Technology Access Programme for the Digital Twin Design Centre, which is based in Belfast. The programme helps UK businesses learn about, test and adopt digital twins (virtual models of real-world assets or processes), with an estimated value of £160,000.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver a programme that helps UK businesses understand, demonstrate and deploy digital twins • Provide expert support to participating businesses • Provide test environments and tools for businesses to experiment and validate digital twins, drawing on shared learnings from industry use cases
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice lists no specific eligibility rules, but delivering expert digital twin support and test environments for businesses across the UK suggests that firms without specialist digital twin technical knowledge and the capacity to run a national programme would most likely be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
