Summary of the contracting process

Swansea University is currently undertaking a tender process for the procurement of Measurement Instruments for the Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence (MEECE), with a total estimated value of £500,000. This open procurement procedure is aimed at suppliers in the education and marine energy sectors, located primarily in the Swansea region (SA2 8PP). The tender period is open until 14 June 2022, marking the final date for submissions which must be made electronically via the established submission portal. The initiative is part of a broader collaboration funded in conjunction with the European Regional Development Fund and aims to enhance the capabilities and innovative potential of the marine energy industry.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in marine technology, coastal engineering, and research instrumentation. Companies that specialise in the development, supply, and maintenance of measurement instruments, particularly those that support marine energy projects, will find this tender especially relevant. Additionally, firms engaged in innovative technologies for decarbonisation and environmental monitoring are encouraged to participate. Collaborations or consortia may be beneficial, as the contracting authority is open to bids that demonstrate combined expertise in this specialised field.

Notice Title

Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence (MEECE) Measurement Instruments

Notice Description

The Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence (MEECE) has been part funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government and the participating Higher Education Institutions and by the Swansea Bay Region City Deal.MEECE will provide specialist knowledge, experience and capability for the benefit of the marine energy industry and is delivered by ORE Catapult and four universities. MEECE will provide a centre for collaboration through coordinated, joint-industry / cross-industry approaches, whilst disseminating lessons learned for future projects and improving industry productivity and effectiveness. MEECE will bring the expertise and capabilities of Welsh universities, and of the ORE Catapult, into direct contact with technology developers and their supply chains, supporting more innovation, and capturing and embedding that innovation in Wales. It will be based in Pembroke Port with research staff within the university research teams. This equipment supports a range of projects in the areas of Marine Energy and Coastal Engineering. This directly supports fundamental and applied research in decarbonisation through clean, affordable and secure energy. Prediction and mitigation of coastal change (including sea level rise and extreme events) is a consequence of the climate emergency. The creation of jobs in marine energy and the associated supply chain supports the blue economy.

Lot Information

Laboratory Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) instruments

For accurate reading of velocity and turbulence at a point close to the instrument within the Swansea University wave flume and other laboratory environments, purchase of velocity measurement systems with a smaller measurement head. This could be Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter or an alternative technology with the same accuracy. As these are laboratory instruments, there is no requirement to be fully waterproof. Options: As an alternative, please provide optional pricing for a "profiling" measurement of flow in the boundary layer.

Options: Please see tender documents

5 beam Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)

Tidal performance measurement requires a good understanding of the flow field through the water column. Stand-alone self-recording field instruments are required for both velocity and turbulence measurements. ADCPs will be supplied with seabed frames and moorings suitable for high flow rate environments.

Options: Please see tender documents

Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) instruments

Stand-alone self-recording field instruments are required for accurate reading of velocity and turbulence at a point close to the instrument, in 3 dimensions at high sample rate. This could be Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter or an alternative technology with the same accuracy.

Options: Please see tender documents

Surface floating / towed Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)

Measurement of flow from a surface floating ADCP unit, the float should contain GPS and orientation measurement to accurately locate the measurement point. Stand-alone self recording field instruments are required for both velocity and turbulence measurements.

Options: Please see tender documents

Wave flume multi-axis load cells

The Coastal Engineering Laboratory of the College of Engineering heavily contributes to marine renewable energy research and development by testing scale models of new, innovative marine energy devices and support infrastructure such as underwater cables. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the art wave channel, capacitance type wave gauges, Particle Imaging Velocimeter, a Laser Doppler Velocimeter and a bed profiler. However, the laboratory lacks the capacity to measure forces on marine energy devices, which is an essential component of marine energy device and infrastructure testing. We will purchase inertial measurement units to track movements and acceleration.

Options: Please see tender documents

Current flume wave paddle

This device will expand the equipment available in the fluid labs for undergraduate and postgraduate students research for small experiments including waves and currents. The wave paddle will be included in the Armfield S6-MKIII Glass Sided Tilting current flume (cross section 300mm wide x 450mm max depth) available in the fluid laboratory (flow rate 38 l/s max). This laboratory lacks the capacity to measure waves in the flume, which is an essential component of some of the modules in the Faculty of Science and engineering. We will add this device to the pre-existent current flume available in the fluid lab.

Options: Please see tender documents

High speed camera

The high-speed camera will be used to enhance measurement in a range of experiments relevant to marine renewable energy. The camera will be used to investigate platform motion for floating marine renewable devices; to investigate vegetated coastal areas as green coastal defences (high speed video camera will be used to capture flow field within vegetation); to investigate the dynamic deflection of fixed marine renewable energy related structure under wave loading and to investigate wave-structure interaction in very high resolution.

Options: Please see tender documents

Acoustic suspended sediment profiler - lab

A device to measure sediment in suspension at laboratory scale and to do suspended sediment research. To be used to measure sediment profiles in vegetated coastal areas and measuring turbulence around breaking waves.

MEECE will provide a centre for collaboration through coordinated, joint-industry / cross-industry approaches, whilst disseminating lessons learned for future projects and improving industry productivity and effectiveness. MEECE will bring the expertise and capabilities of Welsh universities, and of the ORE Catapult, into direct contact with technology developers and their supply chains, supporting more innovation, and capturing and embedding that innovation in Wales. It will be based in Pembroke Port with research staff within the university research teams. This equipment supports a range of projects in the areas of Marine Energy and Coastal Engineering. This directly supports fundamental and applied research in decarbonisation through clean, affordable and secure energy. Prediction and mitigation of coastal change (including sea level rise and extreme events) is a consequence of the climate emergency. The creation of jobs in marine energy and the associated supply chain supports the blue economy.",
