Bristol Urban Observatory/Data and Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (DAFNI) Visualisation Facility Tender

The Bristol Urban Observatory is part of the UK Collaboratorium for Research in Infrastructure and Cities (https://www.ukcric.com/) and forms part of the national Urban Observatory set up as part of this programme (https://urbanobservatory.ac.uk/).

Both the Urban Observatory and UKCRIC are in the process of developing large datasets which can be used to improve the understanding of problems related to cities and infrastructure. If these datasets are to have value then they need to be readily accessible for both scrutiny and analysis. As such the Data Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (https://dafni.ac.uk/) is a further part of this programme to act as both a repository for these data and also to provide a platform for analysis of this, and other, datasets. Outreach work to provide this data to stakeholders who influence decisions in how cities and infrastructure operate is vital.

To do this we are seeking to obtain a versatile visualisation facility which can be taken out to key stakeholders to encourage engagement.
