At this stage the Department are seeking engagement with the market to better inform our requirements. Interested suppliers are to refer to the Engagement section of this notice for further details of the preliminary market engagement process being undertaken. This procurement will be split into two phases, the first phase taking place this financial year, and the second phase continuing in the next financial year. Phase 1 will entail desk-based research and engagement to map the UK’s quantum-relevant infrastructure, and Phase 2 will involve the development of an online database to host the information collected in Phase 1. Background The UK has a swathe of existing quantum-related research infrastructure spread across the country. Knowledge of these facilities, their capabilities, tooling, and access conditions is limited to users already directly working with those institutions or organisations or closely involved in the ecosystem. The RAEng quantum infrastructure review identified that there is a lack of awareness of existing infrastructure and difficulties in identifying resources available.. This fragmentation can result in duplicated efforts, inefficient use of resources, and missed opportunities. Additionally, feedback from industry, academia and facility operators shows that discovering the available infrastructure is time-consuming and fragmented. There is currently no comprehensive infrastructure database for the quantum sector. A well-maintained, user-focused database would support technology advances, collaborations, strategic planning and international infrastructure negotiations. Aims and Objectives The full project will establish an online quantum infrastructure directory that maps the UK’s quantum infrastructure within a single, user-friendly platform. It will enable industry and academia to discover tools, equipment, characterisation capabilities, and expertise; support facility operators in benchmarking and identifying complementary capabilities for collaboration and to avoid duplication; provide government and funding bodies with robust evidence to inform funding competitions and infrastructure investment or upgrades; and facilitate integration with related technologies such as semiconductors and engineering biology. The contract will have two components: 1. Undertaking desk-based research and stakeholder engagement with academia, industry and facility operators to capture infrastructure data and user needs; Collaborating closely with the relevant stakeholders to define technical specifications, data standards and governance.
