## Summary

The procurement process titled "(NU/1612-4) Supply of High Performance End of Line Test Equipment" was initiated by Newcastle University as part of the Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) programme, which aims to enhance UK industry capabilities in clean technologies and electrification. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically within the electrical machinery sector, and is located in Newcastle, UK. The procurement phase is classified as complete, with the contract awarded recently. Key dates include the announcement of the awards made on 30 June 2021, with a comprehensive review period of 10 calendar days for tenderers post-award notification.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for firms involved in manufacturing high-performance testing and prototyping equipment for electric motors. Suppliers with expertise in electrical machinery, precision testing systems, and after-sales support are well-positioned to compete effectively in this process. As the DER programme gathers momentum, businesses in sectors such as transport, energy, construction, and agriculture should consider engaging in similar public procurement opportunities to align with the UK's transition towards clean technologies.

## 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. 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 tender was focussed on the motor manufacturing aspect and the purchase of relevant equipment to manufacture and test electric motors. There are six separate equipment systems being tendered in this ITT, as follows: i) Leak Test system (Section 3.2) ii) Magnetic Scanner system (Section 3.3) iii) Motor test Dynamometer/EOL Tester (Section 3.4) iv) Vibration Shaker system (Section 3.5) v) Environmental Test Chamber System (Section 3.6) vi) Environmental Thermal Stock Chamber system (Section 3.7) The scope was for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of each system as detailed in the ITT, with after sales support, a minimum 12 months parts and labour warranty and maintenance. This should include on completion of installation a complete set of operating and maintenance documents. This requirement was only advertised to all Sellers appointed to Lot 5: High Performance End of Line Test of (NU/1612) Flexible Electric Machine Assembly Line Dynamic Purchasing System (OJEU Ref: 2020/S 229-565620).
