Notice Information

Notice Title

Quick Connection Systems - R&D Services Call

Notice Description

This is a Contract Award Notice and as such the procurement process has now ended. Wave Energy Scotland (WES) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Highland and Islands Enterprise and is taking an innovative approach to supporting the commercialisation of the wave energy sector until the technical and commercial risks are low enough for the private investment to re-enter the sector. This call is for feasibility studies on Quick Connection Systems (QCS). The overall objective of the QCS programme is to reduce the duration, cost and risk of offshore operations for early stage wave energy converters. This call focusses on the technology and operations used to make the connection between a wave energy device and its moorings and/or electrical system.

Lot Information

WES can offer up to 100% of the project costs to a maximum of GBP 70,000 for Stage 1 projects via a contract for Research and Development services.
