Summary of the contracting process

ORE Catapult commissioned services to support life extension work at the LDT. The requirement is construction, design and management (CDM) support during the removal, repair and replacement of a blade, within a wider repair and maintenance activity. The buying organisation is ORE Catapult, a public undertaking based in Glasgow. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist engineering-support requirement rather than a supply-only purchase: the relevant work involves coordinating or supporting safety and compliance arrangements around blade removal and replacement. Businesses operating in renewable energy, wind-turbine maintenance, engineering safety or construction management may find the requirement relevant where they can provide CDM support for technically complex repair work involving blades and associated site activities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Realise Energy Services. The award date was 30 July 2026, for £49,000 excluding VAT (£58,800 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The award covers services classified as repair and maintenance services. The procurement used a direct procedure under the legal basis identified by the buyer as the UK Public Contracts Act 2023, reference 2023/54. A contract signature was scheduled for 30 July 2026. The selected supplier is Realise Energy Services, based in Perth, and the award is recorded as active.

This award indicates that ORE Catapult buys focused, short-duration specialist support for blade removal, repair and replacement projects at the LDT. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical CDM capability, familiarity with construction health and safety duties, and experience supporting controlled work on large engineered assets. Relevant firms are likely to combine safety-management expertise with knowledge of wind-energy or other industrial repair environments, including planning interfaces between removal, repair and replacement teams. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large prime contractor. Businesses able to evidence suitably qualified personnel, robust risk assessment and coordination processes, and comparable blade or complex maintenance work would be well placed to assess similar demand from ORE Catapult.
