After a number of years of world-leading testing, ORE Catapult now have a requirement to upgrade the existing Drive Train to ensure the facility is ready to serve turbines of around 25MW. ORE Catapult therefore intend to appoint a single contractor (or consortium) to design, procure, construct and commission an upgrade to the existing 15MW capable Drive Train Test Facility at its site in Blyth, Northumberland. Due to funding arrangement this will be an aggressive build programme. Therefore, ORE Catapult reserve the right to vary the Contract term following discussion with suppliers during the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation process. ORE Catapult reserve the right to add additional requirements to the minimum Scope of the Works during the Contract life, as it is deemed appropriate within the Scope of the Works. ORE Catapult has determined that the requirement is not suitable for dividing into lots as it is not appropriate to have the various elements of the Works delivered by separate suppliers due to the complexity of the requirements. Accordingly, ORE Catapult intends to award a single contract for the requirement. ORE Catapult reserve the right to award a Contract on the basis of the initial tender without entering into negotiation where it is in their best interest to do so. ORE Catapult also reserve the right to carry out the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation in successive stages in order to reduce the number of tenders to be negotiated. ORE Catapult will inform remaining tenderers of the common deadline to submit new or revised tenders. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 45214620 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Description:** *PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE* This tender is being issued by the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (‘ORE Catapult’) as a competitive procurement exercise in accordance with the ‘Competitive Procedure with Negotiation’ for tendering ... - **Contract Period:** to 31/07/2025 ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 004774-2025-ORE/22/100-1 (active) - Supplier(s): **RENK Test Systems GmbH** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-137721` ## Contracts (1) - **Contract:** 004774-2025-ORE/22/100-1 (active) - Signed Date: 05/02/2025 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F004774-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-02-12T15:19:20.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T05:55:49.397Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-037ef4
