UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

ORE Catapult commissioned repairs to the blade on its LDT turbine, identified as Blade C. The work is turbine maintenance and repair, including an estimated eight weeks of repair work on a 24-hour working basis, together with the materials and equipment hire needed to carry it out. The requirement is a focused blade-repair job rather than a broader turbine works programme. Delivery is in Fife, Scotland. ORE Catapult is the buying organisation. The contract is intended to appoint a provider to complete the specified blade repairs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to DHR Blades Ltd, an SME. The award is active, and the contract is also active. The buyer requested schedules of rates from three blade repair companies; the stated method was below-threshold procurement, with no further procedure detail. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 23 October to 31 December 2026. Its gross value is £249,999. The procurement was evaluated through a request for schedules of rates. It was structured as one lot, covering the blade repair requirement. The contract period and the estimated eight-week repair duration describe the planned work.

This award shows ORE Catapult has a requirement for specialist wind-turbine blade repair, with work planned around continuous 24-hour operations and the provision or hire of materials and equipment. Suppliers competing for similar work should be able to demonstrate practical blade-repair capability, suitable equipment and materials, and enough skilled labour to sustain round-the-clock working over a multi-week repair. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist provider was able to meet this requirement. The buyer sought schedules of rates from three repair companies, so clear, itemised pricing is relevant to competing for this type of work. Credible suppliers should be able to mobilise to a turbine repair site in Fife and deliver the defined repair scope safely and reliably.
