Summary of the contracting process

ORE Catapult procured technical support services for its controls and maintenance teams during test set-up in Blade Test 1 and Blade Test 2. The requirement covers both hardware and software elements of the existing control system, with support provided on site and remotely. The work supports the operation, maintenance and preparation of the blade-testing facilities. ORE Catapult is a public undertaking and the buyer for this requirement. The service is relevant to suppliers providing specialist controls engineering, hydraulic or test-facility support, particularly where engineers can work with established industrial control systems and provide practical assistance during testing. The requirement is focused on technical support for existing equipment rather than the supply of a new control system or general facilities-management services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Savery Hydraulics Limited on 17 August 2026. ORE Catapult used a direct award procedure, justified on the basis that Savery is the UK agent for Moog Controls and that single-supplier technical reasons applied. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 March 2030. Its value is £126,163 excluding VAT and £151,395.60 including VAT. The procurement comprised one completed lot and was below the applicable threshold. The award covers technical support services under CPV 71356300. Savery Hydraulics Limited is the selected supplier, with an active contract for the on-site and remote support requirement.

This award indicates sustained demand from ORE Catapult for specialist support to controls and maintenance teams working in blade-testing environments. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in both the hardware and software of existing industrial control systems, alongside the ability to support test set-up rather than only routine maintenance. Engineers would need to provide responsive on-site assistance at the testing facilities and remote technical support when required. Experience with Moog Controls or comparable systems would be commercially important, because the award rationale relied on the supplier's position as Moog's UK agent and on single-supplier technical reasons. Suppliers without relevant manufacturer-level knowledge, specialist controls capability or test-facility experience would be less well placed.
