## Summary

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has published a tender for the "Network Support Services Framework - ORE/21/089", aimed at providing network services within the networks industry sector. This open procurement process, which concluded its tender period on 19th January 2022, has a total contract value of £500,000. The contract is set to commence on 21st February 2022 and will run until 20th February 2026. Interested suppliers should note the organisation's location in Glasgow, United Kingdom, which may influence the geographical scope of service provision.

This framework presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their market presence through potential contract awards. With a maximum of three contractors being selected for the framework, firms that specialise in networks and related services are encouraged to participate, especially those that can provide competitive pricing and demonstrate added value in delivery. The potential for co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund may further enhance the appeal for competitive bids.

## Notice

The Network Support Services Framework shall be a multi-supplier Framework Agreement and it is anticipated that a maximum of three (3) Contractors shall be appointed to this Framework to provide a fair and transparent Service to ORE Catapult. However, ORE Catapult reserves the right to appoint fewer or more than this number if deemed to be in its best interests, e.g. value for money, geographical location. Contract awards made under the terms of this Framework Agreement for provision of Network Support Services may be co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)or other EU funding bodies.
