What is being bought

Published requirement description

ORE Catapult has established a cutting-edge testing and demonstration facility in Aberdeen, named the

Floating Offshore Wind Innovation Centre (FLOWIC) based within the Energy Transition Zone.

ORE Catapult is committed to enhancing its capabilities by extending its capacity for testing mooring lines,

a crucial component in floating offshore wind (FOW) applications. To achieve this, the organization plans

to design and build a Large-Scale Synthetic Mooring Line Test Rig (LSSMLTR) capable of evaluating the

mooring lines destined for use in FOW projects. Suitable land for a facility of this size (Approx 106m in

length and 15m in width), has been identified immediately adjacent to FLOWIC.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
