## Summary

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult is seeking tender submissions for a CAD Software package, specifically Solid Edge, to support its expansion into new locations, including Cornwall and Pembroke Docks. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a notable engagement end date set for 4 March 2020. This infrastructure will be utilised across the organisation's facilities located in Blyth, Glasgow, and Hull, ensuring consistency in engineering processes. The contract is identified under the CPV classification 48321000 for Computer-aided design (CAD) software package.

This tender presents a solid opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those experienced with CAD systems. Companies with a track record in providing Solid Edge licenses or similar solutions would be particularly favoured due to the standardisation established by ORE Catapult. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) keen to establish a foothold in the renewable energy sector may find this procurement especially beneficial as the project may require adaptable and scalable solutions for CAD applications across multiple sites.

## 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
