Summary of the contracting process

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, a public undertaking located in Glasgow, United Kingdom, has successfully completed the procurement process for the "OPAL-RT On-Site Support & Hardware Installation - Hii Project." The project required the on-site support, testing, and installation of additional hardware to integrate into the existing EGSTON amplifier system. The procurement, carried out through a direct award method, was initiated and completed in 2025, with the contract period spanning from 1st to 31st August 2025. The procurement falls under the goods category related to data-processing and data equipment. The contractor, OPAL-RT Technologies, based in Canada, was chosen due to its technical exclusivity and the need for proprietary technology integral to the project's implementation.

This procurement provides a significant opportunity for businesses that deal with proprietary hardware, engineering services, and technical support, especially those in the renewable energy and data processing sectors. Companies with capabilities in firmware development, co-simulation setup, and proficiency in proprietary driver integration could find similar projects highly beneficial for expansion. Large enterprises with a solid foundation in high-tech manufacturing and technical solutions, like OPAL-RT Technologies, are well-suited to compete for such strategic and technically demanding projects due to their ability to deliver exclusive and tailored solutions.

Procurement Information

OPAL-RT Technologies is the only supplier with the technical ability. As the original provider, they are uniquely positioned to offer compatible hardware, software, and expert services. A single-source procurement is therefore justified on technical exclusivity and continuity grounds. We have already existing hardware from the supplier, this makes the integration process simpler.
