This project falls under the Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables industry category, specifically focusing on goods. The procurement method employed is a selective tender, with the contract valued at £132,675, which was signed on 30 March 2021. The delivery of the system is to take place in Newcastle, in the North East of England, with all requirements being advertised to selected sellers within the relevant Dynamic Purchasing System. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical machinery and inspection systems, particularly those that can provide the necessary after-sales support and warranty services. Companies engaged in the manufacture of power electronics, as well as those capable of delivering innovative technological solutions for circuit board inspection, would find this contract well-suited to their offerings. The emphasis on quality assurance, maintenance, and robust technical specifications makes this a prime opportunity for SMEs in the relevant fields to expand their market presence and collaborate in the advancing sectors of clean technologies and electrification. ## Notice 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. 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 tender is focussed on the power electronics aspect and specifically the purchase of relevant solder paste inspection (SPI) systems for in-line optical inspection of circuit boards following solder paste deposition. The scope is for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the equipment as detailed in the Invitation to Tender document, with after sales support, a minimum 12 months parts and labour warranty and maintenance. This requirement was only advertised to all Sellers appointed to Lot 12: Visual Inspection of (NU/1609) Power Electronics Manufacturing Dynamic Purchasing System. ### Lot Information Lot 1 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.
