Summary of the contracting process

ORE Catapult, based in Glasgow, has completed the procurement process for a significant supply chain development programme titled "F40R NE ENGLAND – SECTOR SPECIFIC." This initiative is conducted in affiliation with the Northeast Combined Authority and is designed to bolster the offshore renewable energy sector in Northeast England. The contracting process, which adopted an open procurement method, has reached the award stage, with a contract already active from 19th September 2025 to 18th September 2026. With the programme focusing on offshore services, it represents a strategic effort to enhance the UK’s competitiveness, capacity, and competence in the renewable energy industry, offering an economic boost while advancing cost reductions in offshore renewables.

This procurement presents a valuable growth opportunity for UK businesses specialising in offshore renewables, particularly small and medium enterprises. The programme's open competition approach allows these businesses to showcase their capability to efficiently contribute to the UK’s energy sustainability goals. Companies like Opergy Limited, already awarded a contract, reflect the program's potential for SMEs to secure positions within the robust supply chain network. With provisions for contract extension up to six months, businesses have the prospect of sustaining long-term engagements, enhancing the region's expertise and technological advancements in renewable energy services.
