This procurement falls under the industry category of Industrial Machinery. The project is part of the Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) programme, specifically for the DER Innovation Centre in the North East of England. Key dates include a tender period ending on 13th January 2025 and a contract period starting on 30th January 2025, running until 30th April 2027. The procurement is at the 'Tender' stage, with the system required for testing and verifying Power Electronics, Machines, and Drives components for various sectors such as transport and renewable energy. The estimated contract value is GBP 300,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for SMEs and VCSEs, given its comprehensive scope in supporting the UK's transition to clean technologies. Companies specialising in power electronic packages, electric drives, and electrical machines stand to benefit greatly from this procurement. The modular programmable DC power supply system, with a power sourcing and sinking capability of approximately 300kW, is crucial for innovations in sectors like transport, energy, construction, and aerospace. Newcastle University encourages businesses with relevant expertise to participate in this procurement process to contribute to and benefit from the UK's leading position in PEMD manufacturing and clean technology advancements. ## Notice Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) is an Innovate UK (IUK) Challenge program to support UK industry to seize the economic opportunities from the global transition to clean technologies and electrification. The programme will help businesses across numerous sectors including transport, energy, construction and agriculture to invest and work together to capitalise on the UK's strengths in this technology. The DER program vision is "To make the UK globally recognised as the centre of excellence in PEMD manufacturing processes". As part of that program, Newcastle University was awarded a large grant to establish a new DER Innovation Centre (DER-IC) in the North East of England. DER-IC NE will concentrate on the prototyping and scale-up manufacture of power electronic packages, electric drives, and electrical machines. A new, separate IUK grant is funding the purchase of the system detailed in this tender document. This Invitation To Tender (ITT) is for the supply of a modular programmable bidirectional DC power supply suited for testing and verification of Power Electronics, Machines and Drives components and systems deployed in, for example, transport, renewable energy, and aerospace applications. The system should have power sourcing and sinking capability in the region of 300kW. Please note that Newcastle University is not a 'contracting authority' for the purposes of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 and will not be observing a standstill. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6743824-3870-4235-b344-aba0583c363a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jan 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jan 2025 - 30 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 7RU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42000000 - Industrial machinery ## Release History - 19 Dec 2024 at 10:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6743824-3870-4235-b344-aba0583c363a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6743824-3870-4235-b344-aba0583c363a 19th December 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.ncl.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
