Summary of the contracting process

Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult sought an electrical contractor for the decommissioning of a 15MW drivetrain. The work covers safely isolating, disconnecting, dismantling, removing and disposing of designated electrical equipment and infrastructure, while protecting the integrity and safety of retained systems and assets. This is a specialist decommissioning service, classified under CPV 98391000. The buyer is Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, based in Glasgow, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a single electrical contractor able to manage the removal activity and associated safety controls in an operational asset environment.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 20 July 2026 at 14:00, and tender submissions were due by 31 July 2026 at 14:00. The planned contract period was 10 August to 10 December 2026. The total gross value and the value of the single lot were each £600,000. Evaluation allocated 60% to technical quality and 40% to commercial considerations. The tender was above the applicable threshold and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement was cancelled on 4 August 2026 because no tender submissions were received by the deadline.

This opportunity suited electrical contractors with demonstrable competence in decommissioning high-capacity drivetrain infrastructure and safely managing electrical isolation, disconnection and dismantling. Relevant capability included identifying designated equipment, removing it without compromising retained systems, arranging compliant disposal, and controlling risks throughout the work. Suppliers would need sufficient skilled personnel, equipment and operational capacity to deliver a complete decommissioning service across the United Kingdom within the planned contract period. The requirement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it could have been accessible to an experienced specialist contractor as well as a larger engineering or industrial services business. Technical quality was more important than commercial scoring.
