UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult sought a contractor for the mechanical decommissioning of a 15MW drive train. The work covers the safe dismantling, removal, transportation and disposal of mechanical systems and equipment. The contractor must protect retained assets and maintain site safety throughout the works. This is a decommissioning services requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, a public undertaking involved in offshore renewable energy research and development. The requirement is suited to businesses providing industrial decommissioning, heavy mechanical dismantling, equipment removal, specialist transport and disposal services, particularly where these activities are carried out in controlled operational environments.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 20 July 2026 at 14:00, and the tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 14:00. The planned contract period was 10 August 2026 to 10 December 2026. The estimated gross value was £600,000. Evaluation was weighted 60% technical quality and 40% commercial considerations. The tender was subsequently cancelled. The associated award was cancelled because no tender submissions were received by the deadline, with the final status recorded on 4 August 2026. Businesses should therefore treat this procurement as concluded rather than as an opportunity for a new submission.

This requirement suits a suitably qualified and experienced contractor able to plan and execute mechanical decommissioning safely from dismantling through to removal, transport and disposal. Relevant capability includes handling large or complex mechanical systems, controlling risks during disassembly, protecting equipment or infrastructure that remains in place, and maintaining site safety while works are under way. Suppliers should be able to coordinate logistics and disposal arrangements and demonstrate robust operational controls for industrial works. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so businesses of that scale with the required specialist capability and delivery capacity could have competed. Technical quality carried greater evaluation weight than commercial considerations, making method, competence and safe delivery central to the assessment.
