We present a public catalogue of numerical-relativity binary-black-holesimulations. The catalogue contains datasets from 80 distinct configurations ofprecessing binary-black-hole systems, with mass ratios up to $m_2/m_1 = 8$,dimensionless spin magnitudes on the larger black hole up to $|\vec{S}_2|/m_2^2= 0.8$ (the small black hole is non-spinning), and a range of five values ofspin misalignment for each mass-ratio/spin combination. We discuss the physicalproperties of the configurations in our catalogue, and assess the accuracy ofthe initial configuration of each simulation and of the gravitationalwaveforms. We perform a careful analysis of the errors due to the finiteresolution of our simulations and the finite distance from the source at whichwe extract the waveform data and provide a conservative estimate of themismatch accuracy. We find that the upper limit on the mismatch uncertainty ofour waveforms is $0.4\%$. In doing this we present a consistent approach tocombining mismatch uncertainties from multiple error sources. We compare thisrelease to previous catalogues and discuss how these new simulations complementthe existing public datasets. In particular, this is the first catalogue touniformly cover this parameter space of single-spin binaries and there waspreviously only sparse coverage of the precessing-binary parameter space formass ratios $\gtrsim 5$. We discuss applications of these new data, and themost urgent directions for future simulation work. The public dataset can beaccessed online at https://data.cardiffgravity.org/bam-catalogue/.
