Connected Places Catapult, in partnership with the UK Government’s Digital Construction International (DCI) programme, invites Expressions of Interest from UK-based suppliers with proven expertise in digital construction, Building Information Modelling (BIM), information management, and ISO 19650 standards. This is an opportunity to support the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation, and Climate Change (MOEUCC) of Türkiye in advancing its national BIM adoption programme.
The selected supplier will join a UK-led team working with the Turkish Government to accelerate the digital transformation of Türkiye’s infrastructure sector, supporting the delivery of safer, more efficient, and sustainable built environments.
Connected Places Catapult are working with Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation, and Climate Change (MOEUCC) to assess potential projects to implement BIM on as a pilot project to support the national level adoption of BIM. The assessment will identify a suitable pilot project which will require support to adopt BIM over the next few months. The purpose of the pilot project is to build capacity within the Turkish supply chain as well as to create a case study for further BIM adoption within similar projects. Connected Places Catapult require a UK supplier to provide technical assistance to the project team, helping them to identify the benefits of BIM and then apply new BIM based processes and procedures to realise these benefits.
Development of a data-led, integrated spatial planning prototype for the Future of Planning 2.0 programme.
The prototype will integrate geospatial data across land use, transport, and energy sectors – with the flexibility to incorporate additional sectors – to support regional and sub-regional strategic planning and evidence-based decision-making in England.
Successful solution partners are expected to trial their accessibility solutions with Glasgow Airport, the collaboration partner of Connected Places Catapult on the Connected Airport Living Lab (CALL) programme. The aim is to, through the pilot implementation of the solution with Glasgow airport, evidence the suitability and value of adopting the solution at commercial airports. Proposed solutions must be between TRL 6 and TRL9 to be eligible.
The project provides a unique opportunity to develop and demonstrate your solution in a real-world airport environment.
Connected Places Catapult and Glasgow Airport have collaborated to create the Connected Airport Living Lab, a collaborative R&D asset used to showcase UK-developed innovations, attract investment, and act as an innovation catalyst for the aviation sector. It is also used for testing and demonstrations of a diverse range of innovations aimed at addressing challenges facing the aviation sector, notably the decarbonisation of ground and air operations, the adoption of hydrogen, automation, data analytics and to enhance passenger experience.
We are launching a new project to trial technologies to enhance the provision of special assistance at airports to make air travel more inclusive and accessible to all. We have conducted a period of discovery, including desk research, stakeholder interviews and airport observations and interviews at Glasgow Airport with relevant staff. Using this research, and in collaboration with Glasgow Airport, we have identified two key challenges which would improve customer service at the airport as well as support the Catapult’s aim of supporting UK businesses to scale and grow.
CPC is seeking a solution that would deliver a legally robust data sharing licence that project partners would be comfortable in signing, while enabling efficient management of future changes without requiring repeated processes of re-signing. It should include a simple onboarding process for new users or asset owners that avoids extensive re-signing by existing participants and ensure that any additional future data sharing activities are automatically covered under the same licence, eliminating the need for supplementary agreements or repeated approvals. This is for the Climate Resilience Decision Optimiser (CReDO)Project.
