This tender is classified under electrical machinery and related categories, with applications due by 14:00 GMT on 11 December 2020. The selected suppliers will participate in various Lots covering a wide range of specialised equipment, essential for the Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) initiative aimed at boosting the UK's clean technology sector. The contract period is set to start on 18 December 2020 and conclude on 17 December 2024, with delivery addresses located in England. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying power electronics and related equipment. Companies with expertise in soldering, welding, industrial robotics, or other electrical machinery will find this tender especially appealing. The selective procurement method allows well-prepared suppliers to showcase their capabilities in specific Lots, thereby increasing their chances of winning contracts that align with the UK's transition towards sustainable technology, particularly under the auspices of the DER programme. ## Notice The University is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to enable the purchase of a range of power electronics equipment that will be tendered under a Lot structure on the DPS. The 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 has been awarded a large grant to establish a new DER Innovation Centre (DER-IC) in the North East of England. The NE DER-IC will concentrate on the prototyping and scale-up of power electronics and electric motors. This advert is focussed on the power electronics aspect and the purchase of relevant equipment for that activity. The Power Electronics Manufacturing DPS Lots are as follows: 1. Pick and Place - die level equipment 2. Pick and Place - packaged devices equipment 3. Die Attach - silver sinter equipment 4. Attach - solder equipment 5. Paste Dispense equipment 6. Screen Printing equipment 7. Robotic Placement equipment 8. Furnaces - general equipment 9. Encapsulation equipment 10. Wire Bonding and Connections equipment 11. Spot Welding equipment 12.
