Data engineering supplier for CReDo project

[Ron Oren]

As part of the Climate REsilience DemOnstrator (CReDo) project - which is a collaboration of the National Digital Twin programme and the Connected Places Catapult - we are looking for a supplier to deliver the data engineering underpinning the demonstrator Digital Twin. The tasks to perform include:
- data engineering, with data scientists and modellers as users;
- descriptive data visualisation, showcasing the fusing of disparate datasets and computer models to paint a picture of multiple infrastructure systems in one place; and
- source complementary datasets, join clean and enhance existing datasets, deal with missingness and creative data fusion

We believe this is an excellent opportunity for the supplier to showcase their skills and capabilities, not just to the National Digital Twin community but to the wider world through a high-profile demonstration (hopefully at or linked to COP26). While we expect the outcomes of the project to be owned by the CPC (and disseminated widely to stimulate development and uptake of Digital Twins), we are very supportive of the supplier leveraging the outcomes to generate new business for themselves.

The deadline for submission of proposal is 14 June and the contract is expected to start on 5 July. More details, including the official tender document, can be found here.
