## Summary

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, a sub-central government public authority based in Glasgow, has completed the procurement process for the "AUIP Sensor Package" under its Innovate UK-funded project. The tender aimed at developing an offshore wind farm simulated environment for robotic system testing involved underwater mapping inspections at key locations including the DARE Centre, Grimsby Docks, and LDT. The procurement was conducted through a direct method without competition, categorized under industrial robots within the goods segment. The contract was signed on 18 March 2025, and the project is expected to run from 2 April to 30 April 2025 with a total value of £42,378 GBP.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in industrial robotics and underwater mapping. SMEs like Frontier Robotics, the awarded supplier from Edinburgh, are particularly well-suited to compete in such initiatives due to their expertise in cutting-edge technological developments. Companies involved in the manufacturing and provision of robotic testing environments, simulations, and related offshore renewable energy solutions could leverage this contract to boost their market presence and expand their portfolio. This procurement highlights the growing need for innovative solutions in renewable energy projects, offering substantial growth prospects for businesses in this sector.

## Notice

As part of our Innovate UK-funded project, we are required to develop an offshore wind farm simulated environment where robotic developers can test and validate their systems. To ensure the simulation accurately reflects real-world conditions, we will conduct underwater mapping inspections of key areas of interest, such as the DARE Centre, Grimsby Docks, and LDT. These inspections will allow us to build true-to scale underwater environments, ensuring that objects and obstacles encountered in simulation match those found in real-world operations.
