Procurement: Technical Specifications for the Local Digital Twins (LDTs) Toolbox

Published on | 2 years ago

Programmes AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologies

The European Commission has opened a call for tender for the Procurement of the Technical Specifications for the Local Digital Twins (LDTs) Toolbox.

The aim of this procurement is to define the technical specifications of this Local Digital Twin (LDT) Toolbox. Economic operators interested in this call are invited to submit a tender via the electronic submission system (e-Submission) available from the TED e-Tendering website.

In order to propose the technical specifications of the LDT toolbox to be later developed and deployed (see DIGITAL workprogramme 2021-2022, section 2.2.1.2.3), this procurement needs to:

  • map the relevant EU-based tech providers,
  • gather via wide consultation the functional requirements for this toolbox,
  • propose and validate a concept design and deployment scenarios under which to be deployed,
  • draft the detailed technical specifications based on the preferred scenario and, finally,
  • propose and validate a plan for large-scale adoption the of toolbox across the EU.

The reason for purchasing this work is to make the best possible set of tools and their technical specs for the toolbox procurement, prepared by a relevant consortium, given that this expertise is not easily available in house.

Economic operators interested in this call are invited to submit a tender via the electronic submission system (e-Submission) available from the TED e-Tendering website:

Tenders are to be submitted via the electronic submission system on the TED e-tendering website

Deadline for submissions: 27/12/2022 (16h00 CET)

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
