## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, which is seeking to acquire a Pick and Place System as part of the Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) programme, targeting the electrical machinery sector in the UK, specifically the North East region. The tender is effectively complete, having been awarded on 30th March 2021. This procurement, classified under goods with a value of £415,695, employed a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure, and relevant equipment was only advertised to sellers approved for Lot 1 of the Power Electronics Manufacturing Dynamic Purchasing System.

This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses specialising in electrical machinery, especially those involved in manufacturing or supplying equipment related to power electronics and electric motors. Companies with capabilities in the provision of high-quality pick and place systems, alongside strong after-sales support and warranty services, will find themselves well positioned to compete. The project aligns with the ongoing transition to clean technologies in the UK, providing a chance for firms looking to expand their portfolio in innovative electric solutions.

## Notice
