## Summary

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult is seeking to expand its use of Solid Edge CAD software, having recently awarded a contract for £92,000 to OnePLM Limited. The procurement was classified under goods and involved a direct procurement method as a single tender action due to the organisation’s reliance on one specific software for compatibility reasons. The award date was 1st March 2020, with the contract period spanning from that date until 28th February 2023.

This contract represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in CAD software and related services, particularly those that can meet the stringent compatibility requirements of the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult. Companies with a focus on engineering solutions and software development would find this tender beneficial, especially as it involves a significant investment to support the expansion of the organisation into new geographical areas, such as Cornwall and Pembroke Docks.

## Notice

NB: This is a Contact Award Notice ORE Catapult has invested heavily in Solid Edge over many years and already several user licenses in general use across the organisation in its Glasgow, Blyth and Hull facilities. As the business expands and it opens other satellite offices eg Cornwall and Pembroke Docks, there is a need to increase the number of licences to maintain consistency across the business and to ensure there is a single method of approving and storing engineering drawings. Whilst it is recognised that other CAD systems are available, ORE Catapult has standardised on Solid Edge, and for compatability reasons only Solid Edge can be utilised
