## Summary

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult is seeking to procure a Turnkey Additive Manufacturing Cell designed for producing thermoplastic-based fibre reinforced components, primarily intended for renewable energy applications in wind and marine devices. This tender, classified under industrial machinery, was published on 17th November 2020, with a tender period ending on 17th December 2020. The awarded contract, valued at £326,360, began on 11th January 2021 and will run until 10th January 2024, representing a significant investment in goods related to manufacturing equipment within the renewable energy sector in the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in advanced manufacturing and industrial machinery. Businesses in these sectors can benefit from supplying innovative solutions that meet the requirements for the Additive Manufacturing Cell, potentially enhancing their market presence while contributing to the UK's push towards improved manufacturing capabilities and renewable energy solutions. Companies with expertise in technology for rapid prototyping and production of complex components will particularly find this opportunity valuable.

## Notice

ORE Catapult is seeking to procure a Turnkey Additive Manufacturing (AM) Cell capable of producing thermoplastic-based fibre reinforced components. The AM Cell will allow the rapid production of physical demonstrators and parts for components used for wind and marine renewable energy devices and ancillary support tooling and jigs. Primarily the AM Cell will provide a testbed for future materials and manufacturing research. Secondarily the AM Cell will produce ready to use components, and fixtures, reducing engineering development time and cost, enhanced component accuracy and time to market, improving reliability and mitigating the risks associated with deployment of these devices.
